Where it comes from
From pent- (“five”) + -ium.
noun Pentiums
- A CPU chip designed and manufactured by Intel, successor to the 486 chip, introduced in 1993. Given the usual Pentium-level processors now commonly available and the amount of memory these systems typically contain, the program we have developed can deal (optimally) with object set sizes in the lower teen’s, but even this requires the capability of Fortran90 to allocate very large arrays dyn
