Computing modules                    

                                     Computational Infrastructure; Software Engineering

noun phrase

Definition: Modular hardware or integrated hardware-software components designed to perform specific computational functions within a larger system, often as separable processing blocks that can be combined, scaled, or coordinated with storage and communication modules[Fang et al. 2025].

Example in context: “The CIM architecture integrates storage and computing modules into memory macros, thereby minimizing the frequency of data communication between the computing modules and the off-chip main storage.” [Fang et al. 2025]

Synonyms: compute modules; processing modules

Related terms: modular compute components; storage modules; communication modules
