ARM Cortex-M
The ARM Cortex-M is a group of 32-bit RISC ARM processor cores licensed by ARM Limited.
See Scalar processor and ARM Cortex-M
Array (data structure)
In computer science, an array is a data structure consisting of a collection of elements (values or variables), of same memory size, each identified by at least one array index or key.
See Scalar processor and Array (data structure)
Boolean data type
In computer science, the Boolean (sometimes shortened to Bool) is a data type that has one of two possible values (usually denoted true and false) which is intended to represent the two truth values of logic and Boolean algebra.
See Scalar processor and Boolean data type
Central processing unit
A central processing unit (CPU), also called a central processor, main processor, or just processor, is the most important processor in a given computer.
See Scalar processor and Central processing unit
Euclidean vector
In mathematics, physics, and engineering, a Euclidean vector or simply a vector (sometimes called a geometric vector or spatial vector) is a geometric object that has magnitude (or length) and direction.
See Scalar processor and Euclidean vector
Floating-point arithmetic
In computing, floating-point arithmetic (FP) is arithmetic that represents subsets of real numbers using an integer with a fixed precision, called the significand, scaled by an integer exponent of a fixed base.
See Scalar processor and Floating-point arithmetic
Flynn's taxonomy
Flynn's taxonomy is a classification of computer architectures, proposed by Michael J. Flynn in 1966 and extended in 1972.
See Scalar processor and Flynn's taxonomy
I486
The Intel 486, officially named i486 and also known as 80486, is a microprocessor.
Instruction pipelining
In computer engineering, instruction pipelining is a technique for implementing instruction-level parallelism within a single processor.
See Scalar processor and Instruction pipelining
Integer (computer science)
In computer science, an integer is a datum of integral data type, a data type that represents some range of mathematical integers.
See Scalar processor and Integer (computer science)
Object (computer science)
In computer science, an object is a programming element that has state, has associated operations and is accessed via an identifier.
See Scalar processor and Object (computer science)
Object composition
In computer science, object composition and object aggregation are closely related ways to combine objects or data types into more complex ones.
See Scalar processor and Object composition
Parallel computing
Parallel computing is a type of computation in which many calculations or processes are carried out simultaneously.
See Scalar processor and Parallel computing
Pentium (original)
The Pentium (also referred to as the i586) is a x86 microprocessor introduced by Intel on March 22, 1993.
See Scalar processor and Pentium (original)
Primitive data type
In computer science, primitive data types are a set of basic data types from which all other data types are constructed.
See Scalar processor and Primitive data type
Processor (computing)
In computing and computer science, a processor or processing unit is an electrical component (digital circuit) that performs operations on an external data source, usually memory or some other data stream.
See Scalar processor and Processor (computing)
Scalar (mathematics)
A scalar is an element of a field which is used to define a vector space.
See Scalar processor and Scalar (mathematics)
Single instruction, multiple data
Single instruction, multiple data (SIMD) is a type of parallel processing in Flynn's taxonomy.
See Scalar processor and Single instruction, multiple data
Single instruction, single data
In computing, single instruction stream, single data stream (SISD) is a computer architecture in which a single uni-core processor executes a single instruction stream, to operate on data stored in a single memory. Scalar processor and single instruction, single data are computer hardware stubs.
See Scalar processor and Single instruction, single data
String (computer science)
In computer programming, a string is traditionally a sequence of characters, either as a literal constant or as some kind of variable.
See Scalar processor and String (computer science)
Superscalar processor
A superscalar processor (or multiple-issue processor) is a CPU that implements a form of parallelism called instruction-level parallelism within a single processor.
See Scalar processor and Superscalar processor
Value (computer science)
In computer science and software programming, a value is the representation of some entity that can be manipulated by a program.
See Scalar processor and Value (computer science)
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. Scalar processor and vector processor are central processing unit.
