Microcomputer, an electronic device with a microprocessor as its central processing unit (CPU).
A "wide variety of living animals", it says, could be used to create computer buses, as they are known technically, in this manner.Many people today carry a range of portable electronic devices, each with its own keypad, speaker, display, processing unit and power supply.
The CASCADE detector uses an ASIC electronic front-end paired with an adaptable integrated FPGA data processing unit to provide high rate capacity and realtime event reconstruction.
The radar includes microwave components, electronic devices for emission and reception, data acquisition and signal processing unit (see Figure 3b).
A Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) is an integral piece of hardware in many electronic devices.
"An electronic nose for measurement of smell by an array of 16 gas sensors, an electronic tongue that allows us to measure sourness, sweetness, saltiness, spiciness, and a central processing unit that gathers data and interprets the result". Each test takes no more than 30 minutes.
The electronic signals from the brains of participants were measured by NeuroSky EEG biosensors, and then the processing unit triggered an explosion of paint.
Recent models in modern neuroscience treat the brain as a biological computer, very different in mechanism from an electronic computer, but similar in the sense that it acquires information from the surrounding world, stores it, and processes it in a variety of ways, analogous to the central processing unit (CPU) in a computer.
In a parallel optoelectronic digital signal processing unit an increase in the throughput performance about a factor of 70 compared with pure electronic solutions is achievable due to a parallel optical processor-memory coupling.
In the 1940s, electronic computers became reprogrammable, with data and instructions (a.k.a. software) stored in memory and passed to a central processing unit (CPU) for computation.
