Notes on Meaning

This is an acronym with two distinct, unrelated meanings based on context: 1. The computing term is a technical descriptor for a processor design philosophy. 2. The organizational term is a proper noun referring to a specific Canadian government agency. The correct meaning is determined entirely by the surrounding context (e.g., discussion of computer hardware vs. law enforcement).
