`
`IEEE Standards documents are developed within the Technical Committees of the
`IEEE Societies and the Standards Coordinating Corrunittees of the IEEE Standards
`Board. Members of the committees serve voluntarily and without compensation.
`They are not necessarily members of the Institute. The standards developed within
`IEEE represent a consensus of the broad expertise on the subject within the Institute
`as well as those activities outside of IEEE that have expressed an interest in partici-
`pating in the development of the standard.
`
`Use of an IEEE Standard is wholly voluntary. The existence of an IEEE Standard
`does not imply that there are no other ways to produce. test, measure, purchase, mar-
`ket. or provide other goods and services related to the scope of the IEEE Standard.
`Furtlierrnore, the viewpoint expressed at the time a standard is approved and issued is
`subject to change brought about through developments in the state of the art and
`comments received from users of the standard. Every [BEE Standard is subjected to
`review at least every five years for revision or reaffirmation. When a document is
`more than five years old and has not been reaffirmed, it is reasonable to conclude that
`its contents. although still of some value. do not wholly reflect the present state of the
`art. Users are cautioned to check to determine that they have the latest edition of any
`IEEE Standard.
`
`Comments for revision of IEEE Standards are welcome from any interested party,
`regardless of membership affiliation with IEEE. Suggestions for changes in docu-
`ments should be in the form of a proposed change of text, together with appropriate
`supporting comments.
`
`Interpretations: Occasionally questions may arise regarding the meaning of portions
`of standards as they relate to specific applications. When the need for interpretations
`is brought to the attention of IEEE, the Institute will initiate action to prepare appro-
`priate responses. Since IEEE Standards represent a consensus of all concerned inter-
`ests, it is important to ensure that any interpretation has also received the concurrence
`of a balance of interests. For this reason IEEE and the members of its technical com-
`
`Inittees are not able to provide an instant response to interpretation requests except in
`those cases where the matter has previously received formal consideration.
`
`Comments on standards and requests for interpretations should be addressed to:

`
`IEEE Standards documents may involve the use of patented technology. Their
`approval by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers does not mean that
`using such technology for the purpose of conforming to such standards is authorized
`by the patent owner. It is the obligation of the user of such technoiogy to obtain all
`necessary permissions.

`Introduction
`
`[This introduction is not a part of IEEE Std 610.10-1994, IEEE Standard Glossary of Computer Hardware Terminology.)
`
`As the computer field continues to expand, new terms are being generated and new meanings are being
`adopted for existing terms. The IEEE Computer Dictionary project {the 610 computer glossary series of doc-
`uments} was undertaken to document this vocabulary. Its purpose is to identify terms currently in use in the
`computer field and to establish standard definitions for these terms. The dictionary is intended to serve as a
`useful reference for those in the computer field and for those who come into contact with computers. either
`through their work or in their everyday lives.
`
`The completed dictionary will contain terms from each of the following areas: Computer Hardware, Soft-
`ware Engineering. Mathematics of Computing. Theory of Computation, Computer Applications. Artificial
`Intelligence, Data Management, Image Processing and Pattern Recognition, Modeling and Simulation.
`Computer Graphics, Computer Networking. Computer Languages, and Computer Security and Privacy.
`This glossary contains the terms related to Computer Hardware.
`
`Every effort has been made to use definitions from established standards in this dictionary. When existing
`standards were found to be incomplete, unclear, or inconsistent with other entries in the dictionary, however,
`new. revised, or composite definitions have been developed.
`
`At the time this glossary was approved. the following people formed the steering committee of the Com-
`puter Dictionary working group:
`
`Anne K. Geraci, Leader. Computer Hardware Subgroup
`Paul C. Wilson, Co-leader. Computer Hardware Subgroup

`Some terms are the names of commercial products.
`Many times such products are developed by a particular
`group, then the product name is accepted as a generic
`gescnpuon of all products performing similar functions.
`or this reason, this glossary does not, in most cases.
`attempt to identify the owner or developer of a product.
`The reader should exercise caution in drawing infer-
`ences concerning ownership trademarks and copyright
`of names_

`
`Some technical terms that appear in the definitions are
`defined in other glossaries in the 610 series and are not
`included as entries here. For example, IEEE Std 610. [2-
`l990, IEEE Glossary of Software Engineering Termi-
`nology, defines terms relating to computer programs,
`while IEEE Std 610.5-I990. IEEE Standard Glossary of
`Data Management Terminology, defines terminology
`relating to data management.
`
`1.2 Glossary Structure
`
`Entries in the glossary are arranged alphabetically. An
`entry may consist of a single word. such as “hardwired”
`or “processor,” or a phrase, such as “print head."
`Phrases are given in their natural order, as in “printed
`circuit board.” rather than in reversed order, “circuit
`board, printed."
`
`Blanks and numerals precede all other characters in
`alphabetizing. Hyphens and slashes are treated as
`blanks.
`
`The following distinction is made between acronyms
`and abbreviations: An acronym is a combination of the
`first one (or few} letters from two or more words in the
`term, put together to make a single term. An acronym
`does not have to be pnonounceable. Generally. acro-
`nyms are capitalized. An abbreviation is a shortened
`version of a single word or anything that is not an
`acronym.
`
`If a term has more than one definition, the definitions are
`numbered. The order of the definitions does not imply
`preference or frequency of use. In most cases, noun def-
`initions are given first, followed by verb and adjective
`definitions as applicable. Examples and notes have been
`added to clarify selected definitions.
`
`The following cross-references are used to show a
`temfs relationship to other terms in the glossary:
`
`Contrast with: refers to a term with an opposite or
`substantially different meaning.
`
`Syn." refers to a synonymous term.
`See also: refers to a related term.
`
`See.‘ refers to a preferred term or to a term where
`the desired definition can be found.
`
`The word “<ieprecated" indicates a term or‘ definition
`whose use is discouraged because such use is obsolete,
`misleading, or ambiguous.
