ZPU
The ZPU (Russian: зенитная пулемётная установка, meaning "anti-aircraft machine gun mount") is a family of towed anti-aircraft gun based on the Soviet 14.5×114mm KPV heavy machine gun. It entered service with the Soviet Union in 1949 and is used by over 50 countries worldwide.
Quadruple (ZPU-4), two double- (ZPU-2 and ZU-2) and single-barreled (ZPU-1) versions of the weapon exist.
Precursor
The first dedicated Soviet mount for anti-aircraft machine guns was developed around 1928 by Fedor Tokarev and was adopted for service in 1931. It was a base for mounting up to four 7.62 mm PM M1910 (Russian Maxim) guns. This was also called a ZPU, although the name М-4 was also assigned to it. It served the Soviet armed forces in all major conflicts until 1945.
Description
Development of the ZPU-2 and ZPU-4 began in 1945, with development of the ZPU-1 starting in 1947. All three were accepted into service in 1949. Improved optical predicting gunsights were developed for the system in the 1950s.
All weapons in the ZPU series have air-cooled quick-change barrels and can fire a variety of ammunition including API (B32), API (BS41), API-T (BZT) and I-T (ZP) projectiles. Each barrel has a maximum rate of fire of around 600 rounds per minute, though this is practically limited to about 150 rounds per minute.
ZPU (microprocessor)
The ZPU microprocessor is a stack machine designed to run supervisory code in electronic systems that include a field-programmable gate array (FPGA).
The ZPU is notable because it is a relatively recent stack machine with a small but real economic niche, and it has a growing number of users and implementations. Many experts think that this is impossible.
The ZPU has been designed to require very small amounts of electronic logic, making more electronic logic available for other purposes in the FPGA. To make it easily usable, it has a port of the GNU Compiler Collection. This makes it much easier to apply than CPUs without compilers.
The ZPU is very small, but it is not fast. It keeps the intermediate results of calculations in memory, in a push-down stack, rather than in registers.
Zylin Corp. made the ZPU open-source in 2008.
Usage
Many electronic projects include electronic logic in an FPGA. It's wasteful to also have a microprocessor, so it is commonplace to add a CPU to the electronic logic in the FPGA. Often, a smaller, less-expensive FPGA could be used if only the CPU used less resources. This is the exact situation that the ZPU was designed to address.

It's Yours
by: Supafriendz[Chorus]
Yo, what the hell are you looking for?
Can an emcee make money anymore?
Can I get paid and still stay raw?
Represent for that 804
Yeah my squad spit better than yours
Keep our jawnts in between ya'll jaws
We drink Hennessy, the hell with Coors
Lonnie B. (Scratchin' "It's Yours")
[Lonnie B.]
Yo, hey yo I got block hot plus I'm bigger than Wayne
Every since the Juvenile I been spittin' them flames
Ya understand ya'll they want me to get in the game
I'll fuck ya head up without stickin' my dick in your brain
We got it lock down, stop now, ya'll don't know
An underground nigga makin' all that dough
I'm a radio DJ, ya'll that slow
See I'ma pimp the game while ya'll go broke
BDS chicks like to watch what I'm spinnin'
If it's beef then I bring my peace like John Lennon
Use to doo-doo wop in the drop but now I'm older
When we drop it's over, next Joe Doja
Can't hold you liquor then ya best stay sober
You gotta pay the judges, I win free like Oprah
Minds steady bubblin', thoughts getting' doper
Bust a freestyle that's like givin' my coke up
[Chorus]
What the hell are you looking for?
Can an emcee make money anymore?
Can I get paid and still stay raw?

Yeah my squad spit better than yours

Uh, dog I stay getting' raw, rippin' these raps
Or behind closed doors, flippin' these tracks
Dolo flow, shit, I get a kick outta dat
Put you chick on a mat, dick stiffen her back
Sick the sack, rap like I'm spittin' wit gats
And I done told ya'll niggas bout the click and the clack
Sittin' wit stacks, trust me, ya'll don't want to "G" that
And this could get ugly and ya'll don't want to see that
From the cute nigga, the truck and coupe nigga
Soloist and I'll do ya whole crew nigga
Don't get souped nigga, that's the joint
I'm supa, you not, and that's the point
So while you sit back and grit black
Yo I'ma spit that shit that'll stick to the track when I hit that
Fuck gettin' up, half these cats can't get back
With tracks when I'm sick at, hold up, did ya'll get that?
[Chorus]
What the hell are you looking for?
Can an emcee make money anymore?
Can I get paid and still stay raw?

That's me
Yo, when the lightening and thunder and rain come out
I emerge in the form of the Danja Mowf
Yo I know you want to hate, let cha anger out
But I'm gonna still put another banga out
Duet these cats then I hang'em out
They don't know what the down south slang about
What the hell is ya'll talkin' yin-yang about?
That's the main reason why my middle finga out
You can get that, when I spit raps I'm the shit black
Get back when I flip tracks, that's a hit black
Don't think my click gets stacks, look at this plaque
But if the money get funny, click click clack
Chicks that's built real phat get the dick sack
After I hit, that's it, you can split jack
Used to have a job with Missy but I quit that
If you can't tell, yo, I don't give a shit black
