| Advanced reduced instruction set computing | Advanced RISC (A specification for a RISC microchip architecture and system environment designed by MIPS Computer Systems to provide binary compatibility among software applications) |
| client/server computing | elaborazione client/server (A model of computing whereby client applications running on a desktop or personal computer access information on remote servers or host computers. The client portion of the application is typically optimized for user interaction, whereas the server portion provides centralized, multiuser functionality) |
| complex instruction set computing | Complex Instruction Set Computing (The implementation of complex instructions in a microprocessor design so that they can be invoked at the assembly language level. The instructions can be very powerful, allowing for complicated and flexible ways of calculating such elements as memory addresses. All this complexity, however, usually requires many clock cycles to execute each instruction) |
| computing device | dispositivo di elaborazione (A piece of equipment that is used for running programs) |
| distributed computing | elaborazione distribuita (A form of information processing in which work is performed by separate computers linked through a communications network. Distributed processing is usually categorized as either plain distributed processing or true distributed processing. Plain distributed processing shares the workload among computers that can communicate with one another. True distributed processing has separate computers perform different tasks in such a way that their combined work can contribute to a larger goal. The latter type of processing requires a highly structured environment that allows hardware and software to communicate, share resources, and exchange information freely) |
| pay-as-you-go computing | uso prepagato del computer (A model in which a solution provider offers a computer to the customer for a low initial payment, and the customer adds time to the computer by purchasing blocks of computer usage time. Once an agreed-upon amount of usage time is purchased, the customer has unlimited access to the computer and no longer needs to pay for computer usage time) |
| subscription computing | computer in abbonamento (An approach in which telephone and internet service providers offer PCs to their customers, who then have the ability to pay for them over time through their monthly bill) |
