SoC
Short for system-on-chip, a chip that holds all of the necessary hardware and electronic circuitry for a complete system. SoC includes on-chip memory (RAM and ROM), the microprocessor, peripheral interfaces, I/O logic control, data converters, and other components that comprise a complete computer system. Applications include digital cameras, cellular phones, set-top boxes, PDAs, and uses in nanotechnology and medical technology.

- sSmiconductor
A material that is neither a good conductor of electricity (like copper) nor a good insulator (like rubber). The most common semiconductor materials are silicon and germanium. These materials are then doped to create an excess or lack of electrons. Computer chips, both for CPU and memory, are composed of semiconductor materials. Semiconductors make it […]
- semi-free software
Refers to any software that is not free but gives permission to individuals to use, copy, distribute, and modify the software for non-profit purposes only. The Free Software Foundation (FSF) also includes the ability to distribute modified versions in its definition of semi-free software.
- sentinel value
(sen´t&-n&l val´ū) (n.) In programming, a special value that is used to terminate a loop. The sentinel value typically is chosen so as to not be a legitimate data value that the loop will encounter and attempt to perform with. For example, in a loop algorithm that computes non-negative integers, the value “-1” can be […]
