CPUkeskeinen
CPUkeskeinen is a term used in computing to describe a design philosophy or performance assessment framework that emphasizes the central processing unit as the primary determinant of a system’s performance. The term combines the English abbreviation CPU with keskeinen, Finnish for central or key, and it appears in Finnish-language technical discussions as well as in international contexts where Finnish terminology is encountered.
Definition and scope: CPUkeskeinen denotes approaches that optimize software and hardware primarily for CPU performance, prioritizing
Applications and examples: In benchmarking, CPUkeskeinen frameworks compare processors by CPU-centric metrics. In compiler and software
Criticism and limitations: Critics argue that many modern workloads are memory- or I/O-bound, and overemphasizing CPU
