English - English
An additional microprocessor used to supplement the functionality of the central processing unit, performing tasks such as floating-point arithmetic (floating-point unit) or graphics calculations (graphics processing unit)
A microprocessor typically mounted on an expansion card that can speed computations in such applications as scientific simulations or statistical calculations
A chip designed specifically to handle a particular task, such as math calculations or displaying graphics on-screen A coprocessor is faster at its specialized function than the main processor is, and it relieves the processor of some work A coprocessor can reside on the motherboard or be part of an expansion card, as with an accelerator
Any computer processor which assists the main processor by performing special tasks faster than they can be executed by software running in the main processor A coprocessor often decodes instructions in parallel with the main processor and executes only those intended for it The most common example is a floating-point coprocessor, others are used for graphics and for networking
A chip on the motherboard of a computer designed to relieve the load on the main processor by handling specific functions (such as rigorous mathematical tasks)
A unit working in tandem with the CPU to perform specific types of operations One example is a math coprocessor specializing in calculations that can enhance the overall ability of the computer to process mathematics-intensive information, such as drawings or spreadsheets
A separate circuit inside a computer that adds additional functions to the CPU or handles extra work while the CPU is busy
A dedicated processor chip that is summoned by the CPU to perform specialized types of processing (pg 182)
A separate computer chip designed to do specific tasks and take some of the work off the main processor
{i} auxiliary processor (Computers)
A microprocessor or auxiliary processor optimized for a specific type of operation, such as floating point mathematics, video processing or 3D data processing Relieves load on the CPU
Additional processor used in some personal computers to perform specialized tasks such as extensive arithmetic calculations or processing of graphical displays. The coprocessor is often designed to do such tasks more efficiently than the main processor, resulting in far greater speeds for the computer as a whole
A special-purpose processing unit that assists the CPU in performing certain types of operations
An additional processor chip which increases the computer's speed by handling specialized chores such as math or graphics
A chip that functions like a calculator It does basic calculations like adding, subtracting, dividing and multiplying within the computer’s memory
A type of assist processor which interfaces to the memory hierarchy at the level of the cache Coprocessors are special purpose units that work with the main processor to speed up specialized operations such as floating-point arithmetic and graphics processing Coprocessors generally have their own internal state and hardware evaluation mechanism
A separate chip (or nowadays, a portion of the CPU) that performs a lot of the calculations and number crunching for the microprocessor, relieving the CPU of some of its work and thus enhancing the overall speed of the system
