Encyclopedia > Functional unit

In computer engineering, an execution unit is a part of a CPU that performs the operations and calculations called for by the program. It often has its own control unit, registers, and other electronics, such as an arithmetic and logic unit or floating point unit, or some smaller, more specific component.


It is commonplace for modern CPUs to have multiple parallel execution units, referred to as scalar or superscalar design. The simplest arrangement is to use one, the bus manager, to manage the memory interface, and the others to perform calculations. Additionally, modern CPUs execution units are usually pipelined.

Enterprise .NET Community: Unit Testing in .NET (4930 words)
Each individual unit of functionality (method) is tested, in isolation where possible, to make sure that the individual building blocks of your application are solid.
Unit tests are most valuable when they expose flaws and inconsistency in the code base; in order to do that, you should contemplate the common conditions that could exist during the execution of the method under test.
Well-written unit tests are as good or better than well-written comments for documenting code, as they clearly express the intended uses of the different units of functionality.
