计算机中，解释并执行指令的一种功能单元。注：处理器至少包含有一个指令控制器和一个算术与逻辑运算器。 In a computer, a functional unit that interprets and executes instructions. Note: A processor consists of at least an instruction control unit and an arithmetic and logic unit.
将程序模块“集中”起来装入且在存储器中分配其相对位置的语言处理器。在虚拟存储系统中，收集模块力图以最大限度地减少处理虚拟存储中断的方式将目标代码安排在页面或段中。 A language processor that "collects" modules for loading and assigns their relative positions in storage; in a virtual storage system, a collector attempts to place object code in pages/segments in such a way as to minimize virtual storage interrupts during processing.
