The transformation of data by a computer system through the execution of a sequence of instructions. This manipulation converts raw input into a more meaningful output, encompassing calculations, comparisons, and data movement performed by a central processing unit (CPU) or other specialized hardware. Processing speed is measured in cycles per second, with modern CPUs performing billions of cycles (gigahertz or GHz).
