The actual, physical realization of a computer system as opposed to the conceptual or block-level design. This was the first design for a programmable digital computer, but a working model was never completed. This technological development was an important fac- tor in moving from second-generation to third-gener- ation computers. This system is widely considered to have been the first supercomputer. This early microcomputer kit was based on an 8-bit microprocessor; it introduced 10,000 hobbyists to (rela- tively) inexpensive personal computing. This type of computer is embedded inside another electronic or mechanical device, such as a cellular tele- phone, microwave oven, or automobile transmission. A type of computer system design in which the CPU uses separate memory buses for accessing instructions and data operands. An architectural attribute that expresses the support provided for previous or other architectures by the current machine.
