WIKIMEDIA DISAMBIGUATION PAGE
endian
<data, architecture> Suffix used in the terms big-endian and
little-endian that describe the ordering of bytes in a
multi-byte number.
The term comes from Swift's "Gulliver's Travels" via the
famous paper "On Holy Wars and a Plea for Peace" by Danny
Cohen, USC/ISI IEN 137, 1980-04-01.
The Lilliputians, being very small, had correspondingly small
political problems. The Big-Endian and Little-Endian parties
debated over whether soft-boiled eggs should be opened at the
big end or the little end.
See also middle-endian, holy wars, NUXI problem, swab.

<data, architecture> A computer architecture in which, within
a given 16- or 32-bit word, bytes at lower addresses have
lower significance (the word is stored "little-end-first").
The PDP-11 and VAX families of computers and Intel
microprocessors and a lot of communications and networking
hardware are little-endian.
The term is sometimes used to describe the ordering of units
other than bytes; most often, bits within a byte.
Compare big-endian, middle-endian. See NUXI problem.

Silicon schizophrenia. Processors and other chips that have
can be switched to work in big-endian or little-endian
mode.
The PowerPC chip has this ability, which allows it to run
the little-endian Windows NT, or the big-endian Mac OS/PPC.

1. Although he called it "unutterably trivial", he also described it as "one of the most extraordinary stories I came upon while researching this book" adding: "So many jaw–dropping stories have emerged of the way in which his household is run that it can sound credible." The Prince of Wales‘s office yesterday declined to offer any further insight into his egg–eating habits, even whether he knocks the big end or the little end off – a subject of such bitter debate over centuries that in Jonathan Swift‘s Gulliver‘s Travels it sparks a savage war between the big–endian Blefuscudians and the little–endian Lilliputians.
