Computer [r]: A machine that executes a sequence of instructions. ^[e]
Computer engineering [r]: Discipline that deals with the design and production of computer hardware, the design and development of low-level computer software, and computer hardware-software integration. ^[e]

Central processing unit [r]: The component in an electronic computer that performs all the active processing of its programming directions, and manipulation of data; this includes performing calculations on numbers, and determining which particular steps to perform. ^[e]
Random access memory [r]: Add brief definition or description
Read only memory [r]: Add brief definition or description
Virtual memory [r]: A concept in computer science whereby an operating system can use alternate (usually slower) data storage to impersonate real memory and run programs that ordinarily would not fit into real memory (RAM) ^[e]
Multiprocessing [r]: Computer architectures that apply multiple tightly coupled processors, usually with fewer operating system instances than processors, to a specific task ^[e]
Form factor [r]: Add brief definition or description
