CMOS

Complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS, pronounced "sea-moss") is a type of metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) fabrication process that uses complementary and symmetrical pairs of p-type and n-type MOSFETs for logic functions.

See Cray J90 and CMOS

Computer memory

Computer memory stores information, such as data and programs, for immediate use in the computer.

See Cray J90 and Computer memory

CPU cache

A CPU cache is a hardware cache used by the central processing unit (CPU) of a computer to reduce the average cost (time or energy) to access data from the main memory.

See Cray J90 and CPU cache

Cray

Cray Inc., a subsidiary of Hewlett Packard Enterprise, is an American supercomputer manufacturer headquartered in Seattle, Washington.

Operating system

An operating system (OS) is system software that manages computer hardware and software resources, and provides common services for computer programs.

See Cray J90 and Operating system

Real-time operating system

A real-time operating system (RTOS) is an operating system (OS) for real-time computing applications that processes data and events that have critically defined time constraints.

See Cray J90 and Real-time operating system

SPARC

SPARC (Scalable Processor ARChitecture) is a reduced instruction set computer (RISC) instruction set architecture originally developed by Sun Microsystems.

See Cray J90 and SPARC

Supercomputer

A supercomputer is a type of computer with a high level of performance as compared to a general-purpose computer.

See Cray J90 and Supercomputer

UNICOS

UNICOS is a range of Unix and later Linux operating system (OS) variants developed by Cray for its supercomputers.

See Cray J90 and UNICOS

Vector processor

In computing, a vector processor or array processor is a central processing unit (CPU) that implements an instruction set where its instructions are designed to operate efficiently and effectively on large one-dimensional arrays of data called vectors. Cray J90 and vector processor are vector supercomputers.
