What Is IDE?

Answer Posted / anil

IDE may either stand for "Integrated Device Electronics" or
"Integrated Development Environment." The first is a
hardware term, while the second is software-related. Both
terms are highly technical and if you know what they mean,
you can impress even the nerdiest of your friends.

1. Integrated Device Electronics

IDE is one of the most widely-used hard drive interfaces on
the market. The fancy name refers to how the technology
integrates the electronics controller into the drive itself.
While the original IDE standard could only support hard
drives containing up to 540 MB of data, the new standard,
EIDE (Enhanced-IDE), supports hard drives with over 250 GB
of data. It also allows for data transfer rates that are
over twice as fast as the original IDE.

Another common hard drive interface is SCSI, which is faster
than EIDE, but usually costs more per megabyte. Newer hard
drives may also use a SATA (Serial ATA) connection, which
improves speed and power consumption over both SCSI and IDE.

2. Integrated Development Environment

Computer programming is a complicated and time-consuming
task. Therefore, software development programs aim to make
the development process as smooth as possible. IDE programs
include a source code editor, compiler, and usually a
debugger that all work together when building a software
program. The IDE keeps track of all files related to a
project and provides a central interface for writing source
code, linking files together, and debugging the software.

IDE programming software may also include a runtime
environment (RTE) for testing the software. When a program
is run within the RTE, the software can track each event
that takes place within the application being tested. This
can be an invaluable tool for debugging the program. Because
the IDE software uses a central interface for writing the
code and testing the program, it is easy to make quick
changes to the code, recompile it, and run the program
again. Programming is still hard work, but IDE software
helps make the processes a little more trouble-free.
