Given the question: Information: - Signal processing is an enabling technology that encompasses the fundamental theory, applications, algorithms, and implementations of processing or transferring information contained in many different physical, symbolic, or abstract formats broadly designated as "signals". It uses mathematical, statistical, computational, heuristic, and linguistic representations, formalisms, and techniques for representation, modelling, analysis, synthesis, discovery, recovery, sensing, acquisition, extraction, learning, security, or forensics. - Richardson is a principal city in Dallas and Collin counties in the U.S. state of Texas. As of the 2010 census, the city had a total population of 99,223. In 2014 the population was estimated to be 108,617. Richardson is an affluent inner suburb of Dallas and home of The University of Texas at Dallas and the Telecom Corridor with a high concentration of telecommunications companies. More than 5,000 businesses have operations within Richardson's , including many of the world's largest telecommunications/networking companies: AT&T, Ericsson, Verizon, Cisco Systems, Samsung, ZTE, MetroPCS, Texas Instruments, Qorvo, and Fujitsu. Richardson is also the home to the BlueCross-BlueShield of Texas headquarters in the healthcare industry. - A microprocessor is a computer processor which incorporates the functions of a computer's central processing unit (CPU) on a single integrated circuit (IC), or at most a few integrated circuits. The microprocessor is a multipurpose, clock driven, register based, programmable electronic device which accepts digital or binary data as input, processes it according to instructions stored in its memory, and provides results as output. Microprocessors contain both combinational logic and sequential digital logic. Microprocessors operate on numbers and symbols represented in the binary numeral system. - Cyrix Corporation was a microprocessor developer that was founded in 1988 in Richardson, Texas, as a specialist supplier of math coprocessors for 286 and 386 microprocessors. The company was founded by Tom Brightman and Jerry Rogers. Cyrix founder, President and CEO Jerry Rogers, aggressively recruited engineers and pushed them, eventually assembling a small but efficient design team of 30 people. - Graphics (from Greek 'graphikos', 'something written' e.g. autograph) are visual images or designs on some surface, such as a wall, canvas, screen, paper, or stone to inform, illustrate, or entertain. In contemporary usage it includes: pictorial representation of data, as in computer-aided design and manufacture, in typesetting and the graphic arts, and in educational and recreational software. Images that are generated by a computer are called computer graphics. - In cryptography, encryption is the process of encoding messages or information in such a way that only authorized parties can access it. Encryption does not of itself prevent interference, but denies the intelligible content to a would-be interceptor. In an encryption scheme, the intended information or message, referred to as plaintext, is encrypted using an encryption algorithm, generating ciphertext that can only be read if decrypted. For technical reasons, an encryption scheme usually uses a pseudo-random encryption key generated by an algorithm. It is in principle possible to decrypt the message without possessing the key, but, for a well-designed encryption scheme, large computational resources and skill are required. An authorized recipient can easily decrypt the message with the key provided by the originator to recipients but not to unauthorized users. - A coprocessor is a computer processor used to supplement the functions of the primary processor (the CPU). Operations performed by the coprocessor may be floating point arithmetic, graphics, signal processing, string processing, encryption or I/O Interfacing with peripheral devices. By offloading processor-intensive tasks from the main processor, coprocessors can accelerate system performance. Coprocessors allow a line of computers to be customized, so that customers who do not need the extra performance don't need to pay for it. - The Cyrix Cx486SLC was Cyrix 's first CPU offering , released after years of selling coprocessors that competed with Intel 's units and offered better performance at a comparable or lower price . The 486SLC is based on the i386SX bus , and was intended as an entry - level chip to compete with the Intel 386SX and 486SX . Texas Instruments manufactured the 486SLC for Cyrix , and also sold it under its own name ; TI486SLC . Later , they also released their own version of the chip , the TI486SXLC which featured 8kB internal cache vs 1kB in the original Cyrix design . The similarly named IBM 486SLC , 486SLC2 , 486SLC3 ( 16 - bit external bus version of IBM 486DLC aka Blue Lightning ) and IBM 386SLC are often confused with the Cyrix chips , but are not related and instead based on an Intel CPU core . Introduced in May 1992 , like the later and more famous Cyrix Cx5x86 it was a hybrid CPU , incorporating features of a new CPU ( in this case the Intel 80486 ) while having a pin out similar to the existing 386SX , enabling existing board designs to be easily modified for the new chip . It ran at speeds of 20 , 25 , 33 , and 40 MHz , although it had difficulty running reliably at 40 MHz using some operating systems . In December 1992 Cyrix also released the Cyrix Cx486SLC / e ( 25 , 33 MHz ) which offered power management , and a low voltage laptop version , the 3.3v Cyrix Cx486SLC / e-V ( 20 , 25 MHz ) . In December 1993 Cyrix released a clock doubled version ( 25/50 MHz ) cx486SLC2 , as well as a clip - on upgrade for 386SX systems , the cx486SRx2 ( 16/33 , 20/40 & 25/50 MHz ) . The 486SLC can be described as a 386SX with the 486 instruction set and 1K of onboard L1 cache added . Unfortunately it inherited the 386SX 's 24 - bit address bus ( 16mb max. DRAM ) , and 16 - bit datapath which limited its memory bandwidth . Like the 386 and 486SX , it had no on - board math coprocessor , but unlike the 486SX , it could make use of an Intel 287 , 387SX or compatible coprocessor . Due to the limitations of the 386SX 's bus... - In computing, floating point is the formulaic representation that approximates a real number so as to support a trade-off between range and precision. A number is, in general, represented approximately to a fixed number of significant digits (the significand) and scaled using an exponent in some fixed base; the base for the scaling is normally two, ten, or sixteen. A number that can be represented exactly is of the following form: where significand is an integer (i.e., in Z), base is an integer greater than or equal to two, and exponent is also an integer. For example: What entity does 'cyrix cx486slc' has the relation 'instance of' with?
The answer is:
microprocessor
