crunch
1. To process, usually in a time-consuming or
complicated way. Connotes an essentially trivial operation
that is nonetheless painful to perform. The pain may be due
to the triviality's being embedded in a loop from 1 to
1,000,000,000. "Fortran programs do mostly {number
crunching}."
2. To reduce the size of a file without losing
information by a complicated scheme that produces bit
configurations completely unrelated to the original data, such
as by a {Huffman} code. Since such {compression} usually
takes more computations than simpler methods such as
{run-length encoding}, the term is doubly appropriate. (This
meaning is usually used in the construction "file crunching"
to distinguish it from {number crunching}.) Use of {crunch}
itself in this sense is rare among {Unix} hackers.
3. The {hash character}. Used at {XEROX} and {CMU}, among
other places.
4. To squeeze program source to the minimum size that will
still compile or execute. The term came from a {BBC
Microcomputer} program that crunched {BBC BASIC} {source} in
order to make it run more quickly (apart from storing
{keywords} as byte codes, the language was wholly interpreted,
so the number of characters mattered). {Obfuscated C Contest}
entries are often crunched; see the first example under that
entry.
