• ALU: Arithmetic logic unit. The part of a CPU that handles basic mathematical operations of data.
• Analog
  • In reference to signal values: the aspect of a signal value that encodes a 32-bit floating point number, usually between -1 and 1, that can be read and manipulated by logic gates.
  • In reference to computer design: A system which operates primarily using data stored in the analog aspect of signal values, as opposed to digital systems which use the digital aspect of signal values.
• Block
  • In reference to loop/tag memory: the number of analog values that are placed into a single modular unit of the memory system. [1] [2].
• Digital: An aspect of a signal value that can be on or off.
• Direction: An aspect of a signal value. Either forwards or backwards. Also known as digital sign, splitter-positive/negative. [1]
• Gate: A logic gadget in the game e.g. AND, Selector, Emitter. Also known as component.
• IEEE 754: The standard which specifies way floating point numbers are represented on most modern computers.
• L1/L2 cache: Different levels of cache that can be used by a CPU to store recently-accessed memory. L1 is smaller and faster than L2.
• Multiplexer: A logic device which allows for selecting one of multiple data inputs. Also known as mux.
• RPCS3: An open-source PS3 emulator that can be used to play the LittleBigPlanet games on a desktop computer.
• Sign: Whether a value is greater than or less than 0.
• Signal value: The value present in a logic gate or one of its inputs/outputs. Also known as wire value. [1]
• Ternary: The digital and direction aspects of a signal value together. Named so because there are three possible states a signal may have: on forwards, on backwards, and off. [1]
• Thermometer point: A way of counting how much of the thermometer something fills up. [1]
