The term used for a computer built into a product and dedicated to controlling it is

  • A.a workstation
  • B.an embedded system
  • C.a general purpose computer
  • D.a mainframe

Answer: B

Correct answer: an embedded system

An embedded system is a computer dedicated to controlling the product it is part of, rather than running whatever the user chooses. That dedication is what shapes everything about it - fixed function, tight cost and power limits, real-time deadlines, and often no operating system at all. The great majority of processors manufactured go into such systems rather than into computers recognisable as computers.
