WordDefinition
turing machinenoun(computing theory) An abstract computing machine that has a finite number of possible internal states and operates on an infinite memory tape by first reading a symbol from a cell in the tape, and then, deterministically, based on that symbol and the machine’s state, writing a symbol in that cell, moving to a neighboring cell, and/or changing state.
universal turing machinenoun(computing theory) A Turing machine capable of simulating the behavior of any Turing machine.
turingnounAlan Turing (1912–1954), a British logician and early computer scientist.
switchnounA device to turn electric current on and off or direct its flow.
gatenounA doorway, opening, or passage in a fence or wall.
turing jumpnoun(computing theory) In computability theory, an operation that assigns to each decision problem X a successively harder decision problem X′ with the property that X′ is not decidable by an oracle machine with an oracle for X.

transducernounA device that converts energy from one form into another.
time switchnoun(electrical engineering) A switch activated automatically at a preset time.
switchportnoun(networking) An interface on a network switch.
reverse turing testnoun(artificial intelligence) A Turing test in which the aim is to verify the remote participant as human, rather than focusing on whether they are a machine.
