Procesorowi

Procesorowi is the dative singular form of the Polish noun procesor, meaning processor or central processing unit in computing contexts. The noun procesor is widely used to refer to the CPU or microprocessors in computers and embedded devices. The dative form procesorowi is used when the processor is the indirect object of an action, for example with verbs that take an indirect object or recipient. An illustrative sentence is: Przydzielono procesorowi nowe zadanie, meaning “A new task was assigned to the processor.”

Declension of procesor (singular and plural) is as follows:

- Singular: Nominative procesor; Genitive procesora; Dative procesorowi; Accusative procesor; Instrumental procesorem; Locative procesorze; Vocative procesorze.

- Plural: Nominative procesory; Genitive procesorów; Dative procesorom; Accusative procesory; Instrumental procesorami; Locative procesorach; Vocative procesory.

In addition to its grammatical use, procesor denotes the hardware component responsible for executing instructions in a computer system. The term is standard in Polish technical writing and education, and it corresponds to the English “processor” or “CPU.” While many contexts simply use the base form procesor, the specific case form, such as procesorowi, is required when the processor is the recipient of an action in a sentence.
