1. (Computers) The central processing unit, that part of
the electronic circuitry of a computer in which the
arithmetic and logical operations are performed on input
data, which are thereby converted to output data; it is
usually located on the mainboard, or motherboard, of a
computer. The CPU and the memory form the central part of
a computer to which the peripherals are attached. Most
personal computers as of 1998 had only one CPU, but some
computers may have more than one CPU. [acronym]
Syn: central processing unit, CPU, C.P.U., central processor,
processor.

CPU
processor
(CPU, processor) The part of a
computer which controls all the other parts. Designs vary
widely but the CPU generally consists of the control unit,
the arithmetic and logic unit (ALU), registers, temporary
buffers and various other logic.
The control unit fetches instructions from memory and
decodes them to produce signals which control the other parts
of the computer. These signals cause it to transfer data
between memory and ALU or to activate peripherals to perform
input or output.
Various types of memory, including cache, RAM and ROM,
are often considered to be part of the CPU, particularly in
modern microprocessors where a single integrated circuit
may contain one or more processors as well as any or all of
the above types of memory. The CPU, and any of these
components that are in separate chips, are usually all located
on the same printed circuit board, known as the
motherboard. This in turn is located in the system unit
(sometimes incorrectly referred to as the "CPU").
A parallel computer has several CPUs which may share other
resources such as memory and peripherals.
The term "processor" has to some extent replaced "CPU", though
RAM and ROM are not logically part of the processor.

cpu time
(foldoc) | processor time
CPU time
The amount of time a process takes to run, given
that it has exclusive and uninterrupted use of the CPU.
Note that in a modern computer, this would be very unusual,
and so the processor time calculation for most processes
involves adding up all the small amounts of time the CPU
actually spends on the process.
Some systems break processor time down into user time and
system time.
Compare wall clock time.

cpu wars
(foldoc) | CPU Wars
/C-P-U worz/ A 1979 large-format comic by Chas Andres
chronicling the attempts of the brainwashed androids of IPM
(Impossible to Program Machines) to conquer and destroy the
peaceful denizens of HEC (Human Engineered Computers). This
rather transparent allegory featured many references to
ADVENT and the immortal line "Eat flaming death,
minicomputer mongrels!" (uttered, of course, by an IPM
stormtrooper). It is alleged that the author subsequently
received a letter of appreciation on IBM company stationery
from the head of IBM's Thomas J. Watson Research Laboratories
(then, as now, one of the few islands of true hackerdom in the
IBM archipelago). The lower loop of the B in the IBM logo, it
is said, had been carefully whited out. See {eat flaming
death}.
