Dictionary Results for computron: |
1. The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003) |
computron
/kom'pyoo?tron`/, n.
1. [common] A notional unit of computing power combining instruction speed
and storage capacity, dimensioned roughly in instructions-per-second times
megabytes-of-main-store times megabytes-of-mass-storage. ?That machine
can't run GNU Emacs, it doesn't have enough computrons!? This usage is
usually found in metaphors that treat computing power as a fungible
commodity good, like a crop yield or diesel horsepower. See bitty box,
Get a real computer!, toy, crank.
2. A mythical subatomic particle that bears the unit quantity of
computation or information, in much the same way that an electron bears one
unit of electric charge (see also bogon). An elaborate pseudo-scientific
theory of computrons has been developed based on the physical fact that the
molecules in a solid object move more rapidly as it is heated. It is argued
that an object melts because the molecules have lost their information
about where they are supposed to be (that is, they have emitted
computrons). This explains why computers get so hot and require air
conditioning; they use up computrons. Conversely, it should be possible to
cool down an object by placing it in the path of a computron beam. It is
believed that this may also explain why machines that work at the factory
fail in the computer room: the computrons there have been all used up by
the other hardware. (The popularity of this theory probably owes something
to the Warlock stories by Larry Niven, the best known being What Good is a
Glass Dagger?, in which magic is fueled by an exhaustible natural resource
called mana.)

2. The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (30 December 2018) |
computron
/kom'pyoo-tron"/ 1. A notional unit of computing power
combining execution speed and storage capacity. E.g. "That
machine can't run GNU Emacs, it doesn't have enough computrons!"
2. A mythical subatomic particle that carries computation or
information, in much the same way that an electron carries
electric charge (see also bogon).
