The Name Map
Every name in the Brad Devices vocabulary, grouped by what it is — what it sits in, what tier it carries (SHIPPED = software runs today · DESIGNED = silicon designed · VISION = honest future), and where to verify it yourself.

Two ISAs, never one.
BradISA is the CPU. BradVector is the GPU. They meet on the BradFusion fabric and share SPMP memory — they do not share instructions, and no page on this site will tell you they do.
BradISA is the CPU. BradVector is the GPU. They meet on the BradFusion fabric and share SPMP memory — they do not share instructions, and no page on this site will tell you they do.
Not these: the fabric is BradFusion, never "BradNet". Ray tracing is BradRT, never "BradRays". Both survive in old drafts; neither is a real name.

The micro-words
The generic terms the names above are built from — each with its own one-line receipt.
| Term | One honest line |
|---|---|
| P-core | performance core — the big, fast side of a CPU die |
| E-core | efficiency core — the small, power-thrifty side |
| NPU | neural processing unit — the AI math engine on-die |
| ISA | instruction set architecture — the vocabulary a processor speaks. Brad Devices has two: BradISA (CPU) and BradVector (GPU). They share memory, never instructions. |
| SRAM | static RAM — fast, on-die memory |
| DRAM | dynamic RAM — the big, off-die memory pool |
| GPU | graphics processing unit — the parallel math engine |
| SoC | system on chip — CPU+GPU+memory+everything on one die |
| fabric | the interconnect wires that move data between dies |
| die | the physical slab of silicon a chip is cut from |
| stack | the whole Brad Devices architecture, one connected plan |
