general-purpose microprocessor
11Commodity computing — (or Commodity cluster computing) is to use large numbers of already available computing components for parallel computing to get the greatest amount of useful computation at low cost.[1] It is computing done in commodity computers as opposed to… …
12Digital filter — A general finite impulse response filter with n stages, each with an independent delay, di, and amplification gain, ai. In electronics, computer science and mathematics, a digital filter is a system that performs mathematical operations on a… …
13Transputer — A transputer was a pioneering concurrent computing microprocessor design of the 1980s from INMOS, a British semiconductor company based in Bristol. [ Allen Kent, James G. Williams (eds.) (1998) Encyclopedia of Computer Science and Technology ,… …
14Sensor node — The typical architecture of the sensor node. A sensor node, also known as a mote (chiefly in North America), is a node in a wireless sensor network that is capable of performing some processing, gathering sensory information and communicating… …
15Intel Corporation — ▪ American company American manufacturer of semiconductor (semiconductor device) computer circuits. Besides microprocessors (microprocessor), the company makes microcontrollers (single chip computers), memory (computer memory) chips, computer… …
16Instructions per second — (IPS) is a measure of a computer s processor speed. Many reported IPS values have represented peak execution rates on artificial instruction sequences with few branches, whereas realistic workloads typically lead to significantly lower IPS values …
17Read Only Memory — The notion of read only data can also refer to file system permissions. Read only memory (usually known by its acronym, ROM) is a class of storage media used in computers and other electronic devices. Because data stored in ROM cannot be modified …
18Systems Engineering Laboratories — (also called SEL) was a manufacturer of minicomputers in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. It was one of the first 32 bit realtime computer system manufacturers. Realtime computers are used for process control and monitoring; to accommodate these… …
19NEC V60 — The NEC V60 (μPD70616) was a CISC processor manufactured by NEC introduced in the late 1980s. It had a 32 bit internal bus and a 16 bit external bus with a 24 bit address bus. A relatively obscure design, it was a radical departure from NEC s… …
20History of video game consoles (second generation) — In the history of computer and video games, the second generation (sometimes referred to as the early 8 bit era) began in 1976 with the release of the Fairchild Channel F and Radofin 1292 Advanced Programmable Video System.The early portion of… …
