| '''Hybrid'''

| In this context the term "hybrid" stands for a symbiosis of procedural (instruction-stream-based) computing and reconfigurable computing (no instruction fetch at run time).

| '''Hybrid-core'''

| [[Hybrid-core computing]] is the technique of extending a commodity instruction set architecture (e.g. x86) with application-specific instructions to accelerate application performance. It is a form of [[heterogeneous computing]] wherein asymmetric computational units coexist with a "commodity" processor.
