2. Computer architecture - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_architecture

   In computer science and computer engineering, computer architecture is a description of the structure of a computer system made from component parts. [1] It can sometimes be a high-level description that ignores details of the implementation. [2] At a more detailed level, the description may include the instruction set architecture design ...

3. High-level programming language - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-level_programming...

   In computer science, a high-level programming language is a programming language with strong abstraction from the details of the computer.In contrast to low-level programming languages, it may use natural language elements, be easier to use, or may automate (or even hide entirely) significant areas of computing systems (e.g. memory management), making the process of developing a program ...

4. Exascale computing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exascale_computing

   Exascale computing refers to computing systems capable of calculating at least "10 18 IEEE 754 Double Precision (64-bit) operations (multiplications and/or additions) per second ( exa FLOPS )"; [1] it is a measure of supercomputer performance. Exascale computing is a significant achievement in computer engineering: primarily, it allows improved ...
