A
Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC): An application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) is an integrated circuit (IC) chip tailored for a specific function, instead of being intended for general-purpose use. Examples of such chips are high-efficiency video codecs and digital voice recorders.
B
C
Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS): a kind of type of metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) fabrication technique that employs symmetrical and complementary pairings of p-type and n-type MOSFETs for logic tasks. Microprocessors, microcontrollers, memory chips, and other digital logic circuits are examples of integrated circuits (IC) chips that are made using CMOS technology.
D
Data Management Plan (DMP): a that describes how data should be handled both during and after a research project. The objective of having a DMP is to take into account all of the various facets of data management, metadata creation, data preservation, and analysis before the project starts. By doing this, data may be properly handled now and ready for preservation down the road.

M
Magnetic Tunnel Junctions (MTJs): MTJs consist of two magnetic layers separated by an interlayer.
MCU Driver: MCU (Microcontroller Unit) driver provides functions for basic microcontroller startup, power down, reset and microcontroller specific tasks.
Multiply-Accumulate (MAC): The multiply-accumulate operation is a standard step in computing, particularly in digital signal processing, where two numbers are multiplied and added to an accumulator. The hardware component that carries out the action is called a multiplier–accumulator (MAC, or MAC unit).
MNIST digit recognition: a sizable collection of handwritten numbers known as the MNIST database (Modified National Institute of Standards and Technology database is frequently used to train different image processing techniques. There are 70,000 images of handwritten digits in MNIST: 60,000 is for training and the other 10,000 for testing.
N
N-ary spintronics: spintronics, also known as spin electronics, is the the study of an electron’s intrinsic spin and associated magnetic moment. N-ary spintronics expands the concept of binary logic (0 and 1) to more than two states, whereas traditional spintronics only works with these two states. When N is higher than 2, the term “N-ary” denotes the possibility of N distinct states for the system.
Neuromorphic computing: Neuromorphic computing is an approach where the architecture and operation of the human brain served as the inspiration for the computer technique. Any device that does computations using artificial neurons is called a neuromorphic computer or chip.
Neuromorphic hardware: Neuromorphic Hardware is a computer architecture that aims to imitate the structure and operations of the human brain or neural networks.
O
P
Printed circuit board (PCB): a type of board that is used to “wire” or connect various circuit components to one another. Almost all electronic products employ printed circuit boards.

SPICE modeling: SPICE (Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis) modeling is a method for simulating and analyzing the behavior of electronic circuits. This application is used in integrated circuit and board-level design to validate circuit designs and anticipate their behavior.
Single-Layer Multistate Magnetic Structures (SLMMS) magnetic devices that can store multiple states or levels of information within a single magnetic layer. Unlike traditional binary magnetic systems, which can only represent two states (0 and 1), multistate magnetic structures can represent more than two states, potentially increasing the storage density and performance of magnetic memory devices.

V
Von Neumann bottleneck : the Von Neumann bottleneck occurs when the bandwidth between the CPU and RAM is significantly lower than the pace at which a normal CPU can process data internally. The word is named after John von Neumann, who created the theory that underpins computer architecture today.
