Across
- 3. - in full Basic Input/Output System, computer program that is typically stored in EPROM and used by the CPU to perform start-up procedures when the computer is turned on
- 10. - to decide how many programs are needed
- 11. - the ability and speed of a processor, and how many operations it can carry out in a given amount of time
- 15. - the quality of being networkable; suitability for, or capability of, networking
- 18. - a component of a computer's central processing unit (CPU) that directs the operation of the processor
- 19. - a printed circuit board containing the principal components of a computer or other device, with connectors for other circuit boards to be slotted into

Down
- 1. - the process of carrying out an instruction by a computer
- 2. - execution of five basic types of computer operations: Inputting, processing, outputting, storing, and controlling by a computer

- 4. - things which are happen or exist at the same time
- 5. - circuits that contain more than one source of electromotive force or pure voltage source
- 6. - a classification that is applied to Data that may contain PHI, that has had PHI removed (i.e., de-identified) or that is in use as a part of an ongoing study
- 7. - is a set of electronic circuits on one small flat piece (or "chip") of semiconductor material
