Integrated circuit semiconductor chip that performs the bulk of the processing and controls the parts of a system

Usage examples of microprocessor.

The dropsonde is a small metal cylinder sixteen inches long and three inches wide containing a microprocessor, a radio transmitter and a small drogue parachute.

From there, a heat-seeking head equipped with a reprogrammable microprocessor would guide the missile to its target over a maximum range of approximately three miles.

My brain is gimmicked by a microprocessor the size of a quark and costing ten pee and running the whole deal.

We can compare the quantitative predictions of quantum theory with the measured wavelengths of spectral lines of the chemical elements, the behaviour of semiconductors and liquid helium, microprocessors, which kinds of molecules form from their constituent atoms, the existence and properties of white dwarf stars, what happens in masers and lasers, and which materials are susceptible to which kinds of magnetism.

This has to be done just so, in a certain order, or the microprocessors could be damaged.

And industry was turning away from the diamond-encrusted CRAYs, made of a small number of superpowerful processors, and toward less pricey massively parallel computers made up of thousands of inexpensive microprocessors.

First there was the microprocessor, which passed an on-the-spot function check before he installed it on a circuit board and patched the tiny rig into the automatic answering device.

What if his synHeart stopped pumping, the artificial blood stopped flowing, the microprocessor did burn out and .

It has an MC-68000 microprocessor, and two megabytes of bubble memory.

Also around the world, fab lines casually churn out thirty million microprocessors a day, representing 1023 MIPS.

But without the final solution to do one more scouring and to replace the electrolytes in the brain, the microprocessor would not function properly.

This after all, Lis reasoned, the computer age, and she had place outfitted with a microprocessor climate-control that kept the temperature above sixty-two degrees on the coldest of nights and operated the automated jfvents along the roof's peak and roller shades on the south-panes (sunlight being as potentially dangerous as frost.

Among those special chips is the CYPRIS microprocessor, designed to operate at 40 megahertz and able to obtain nearly 35 MIPS (million instructions per second).

You know there's a neural network between the main microprocessor and the nerve sensors.

You see, in microprocessor design, there's this concept known as virtual memory addressing, which allows a computer to behave as though it has access to more memory than actually exists.
