71Minisupercomputer — Not to be confused with superminicomputer. Minisupercomputers constituted a short lived class of computers that emerged in the mid 1980s. As scientific computing using vector processors became more popular, the need for lower cost systems that… …
72Scalar (computing) — In computing, a scalar is a variable or field that can hold only one value at a time; as opposed to composite variables like array, list, record, etc. In some contexts, a scalar value may be understood to be numeric. A scalar data type is the… …
73Cray T90 — The Cray T90 series (code named Triton during development) was the last of a line of vector processing supercomputers manufactured by Cray Research, Inc, superseding the Cray C90 series. The first machines were shipped in 1995, and featured a 2.2 …
74X86 architecture — The generic term x86 refers to the most commercially successful instruction set architecture [Unlike the microarchitecture (and the specific electronic and physical implementation) used for a specific chip design] in the history of personal… …
75OpenRISC — is the original flagship project of the OpenCores community. This project aims to develop a series of general purpose open source RISC CPU architectures. The first (and currently only) architectural description is for the OpenRISC 1000,… …
76ILLIAC — was the name given to a series of supercomputers built at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign. In all 5 computers were built in this series between 1951 and 1974. Design of the ILLIAC VI began in early 2005. ORDVAC ORDVAC was the first …
77Mediaprocessor — A Mediaprocessor is a microprocessor based System on a chip which is designedto deal with digital streaming data at real time (e.g. display refresh) rates. These devices can also be considered a class of digital signal processors. Unlike similar… …
