[/ˌkɒmpjuˈteɪʃən ˈmɒdəl/]
nounpl: computation models
modelo de computação
1. A theoretical framework that defines the capabilities and limitations of computing systems by specifying how computations are performed and what problems can be solved
The Turing machine is one of the most fundamental computation models in computer science.
A máquina de Turing é um dos modelos de computação mais fundamentais da ciência da computação.
2. A formal system used to represent algorithms and the resources required to execute them
Different computation models, such as lambda calculus and recursive functions, can express the same class of computable problems.
Diferentes modelos de computação, como o cálculo lambda e as funções recursivas, podem expressar a mesma classe de problemas computáveis.
3. A paradigm or approach used in programming and algorithm design that specifies how data is processed and manipulated
Parallel computation models allow multiple processors to work simultaneously on different parts of a problem.
Modelos de computação paralela permitem que múltiplos processadores trabalhem simultaneamente em diferentes partes de um problema.
This is a specialized technical term used primarily in computer science, mathematics, and theoretical computing contexts. It is equally understood in both Brazilian Portuguese and European Portuguese academic settings. The term is essential in university curricula for computer science and is widely used in research papers, conferences, and technical documentation across all Portuguese-speaking countries.
