Acrynoms

Some Acrynoms I've come across that simply wanted to remember:
  • LLVM - LLVM is not really an acrynom. Its the name of the project itself. This project is a collection of modular and reusable compiler and toolchain technologies.   LLVM has the goal of providing a modern, SSA-based compilation strategy capable of supporting both static and dynamic compilation of arbitrary programming languages.
  • Emscripten - is an open source LLVM to JavaScript compiler. With it, you can compile C and C++ code into JavaScript and run it on the web. 
  • MD5
  • MAC address - Media access control address
  • SHA-1 
  • IMEI - The International Mobile Station Equipment Identity
  • Base64 -  is a group of similar binary-to-text encoding schemes that represent binary data in an ASCII string format by translating it into a radix-64 representation. The term Base64 originates from a specific MIME content transfer encoding. Base64 encoding schemes are commonly used when there is a need to encode binary data that needs to be stored and transferred over media that is designed to deal with textual data. This is to ensure that the data remains intact without modification during transport. Base64 is commonly used in a number of applications including email via MIME, and storing complex data in XML.
