FP (programming language)
FP is a function-level programming language defined by John Backus in his 1977 Turing Award lecture, in which programs are built by combining functions without naming arguments.
FP-45 Liberator
The FP-45 Liberator, or Woolworth gun, was a single-shot .45 pistol the United States produced in 1942, making about one million in ten weeks for resistance fighters in occupied territories.
FP-5 Flamingo
The FP-5 Flamingo, also known as the Flamingo missile, is a Ukrainian ground-launched subsonic cruise missile developed by Fire Point, with a claimed range of up to 3,000 kilometers.
FP-Growth
FP-Growth is a data mining algorithm for frequent itemsets that compresses the database into an FP-tree and avoids candidate generation, proposed at SIGMOD in 2000.
FP-growth algorithm
FP-growth is a frequent itemset mining algorithm that compresses a transaction database into an FP-tree and finds all frequent itemsets without candidate generation, about ten times faster than Apriori.
FP4 and NVFP4 inference
FP4 inference runs foundation models with weights and activations in 4-bit floating point, notably MXFP4 and NVIDIA's NVFP4, which entered mainstream serving with Blackwell GPUs in 2025.
FP8 inference
FP8 inference is the practice of running neural networks with weights and activations stored as 8-bit floating-point numbers, halving bit width to roughly double compute.
FPAF
FPAF (CVCL_E668, also FPF, FPA, GM03106, GM3106) is an EBV-transformed human B-lymphoblastoid cell line from an Ashkenazi Jewish male, a 10th International Histocompatibility Workshop reference panel line with fully typed HLA class I and II alleles.
Fpg Ad Astra
Fpg Ad Astra is a series of Chicago, Illinois–based private investment funds managed by First Principles Group Management, sold privately to accredited investors and qualified purchasers.
FPGA prototyping
FPGA prototyping maps a hardware design onto field-programmable gate arrays, building a fast, reconfigurable prototype that ASIC makers use to validate designs before committing to a mask.
FPGA-based CPU prototyping and emulation platforms
FPGA-based CPU prototyping and emulation platforms run processor designs on FPGAs before silicon exists, executing firmware and operating systems 1,000 to 10,000 times faster than software simulation.
FPL Technologies
FPL Technologies is a Pune-based Indian consumer fintech founded in 2019 that operates the OneScore credit-score app and issues the OneCard credit card with partner banks.

FPR1
FPR1 (formyl peptide receptor 1, also FPR/FMLP) is a human chromosome 19q13.41 gene encoding a 350-residue Gi-coupled seven-transmembrane GPCR on phagocytes; it is the high-affinity receptor for fMLF and mediates host defense and inflammation.
