- lisp machine — 1. (architecture) Any machine (whether notional or actual) whose instruction set is Lisp. 2. (hardware, operating system) A line of workstations made by Symbolics, Inc. from the mid-1970s (having grown out of the MIT AI Lab) to late 1980s. All system code for Symbolics Lisp Machines was written in Lisp Machine Lisp. Symbolics Lisp Machines were also notable for having had space-cadet keyboards.

- machine code — (language) The representation of a computer program that is read and interpreted by the computer hardware (rather than by some other machine code program). A program in machine code consists of a sequence of "instructions" (possibly interspersed with data). An instruction is a binary string, (often written as one or more octal, decimal or hexadecimal numbers). Instructions may be all the same size (e.g. one 32-bit word for many modern RISC microprocessors) or of different sizes, in which case the size of the instruction is determined from the first word (e.g. Motorola 68000) or byte (e.g. Inmos transputer). The collection of all possible instructions for a particular computer is known as its "instruction set". Each instruction typically causes the Central Processing Unit to perform some fairly simple operation like loading a value from memory into a register or adding the numbers in two registers. An instruction consists of an op code and zero or more operands. Different processors have different instruction sets - the collection of possible operations they can perform. Execution of machine code may either be hard-wired into the central processing unit or it may be controlled by microcode. The basic execution cycle consists of fetching the next instruction from main memory, decoding it (determining which action the operation code specifies and the location of any arguments) and executing it by opening various gates (e.g. to allow data to flow from main memory into a CPU register) and enabling functional units (e.g. signalling to the ALU to perform an addition). Humans almost never write programs directly in machine code. Instead, they use programming languages. The simplest kind of programming language is assembly language which usually has a one-to-one correspondence with the resulting machine code instructions but allows the use of mnemonics (ASCII strings) for the "op codes" (the part of the instruction which encodes the basic type of operation to perform) and names for locations in the program (branch labels) and for variables and constants. Other languages are either translated by a compiler into machine code or executed by an interpreter
- machine head — a metal peg-and-gear mechanism for tuning a string on an instrument such as a guitar
- machine shop — a workshop in which metal and other substances are cut, shaped, etc., by machine tools.
- machine time — time spent using mechanical equipment
- machine tool — a power-operated machine, as a lathe, used for general cutting and shaping of metal and other substances.
- machine word — word (def 10).
- machine-made — made or constructed by machine
- machine-word — a unit of language, consisting of one or more spoken sounds or their written representation, that functions as a principal carrier of meaning. Words are composed of one or more morphemes and are either the smallest units susceptible of independent use or consist of two or three such units combined under certain linking conditions, as with the loss of primary accent that distinguishes black·bird· from black· bird·. Words are usually separated by spaces in writing, and are distinguished phonologically, as by accent, in many languages.
- photomachine — a machine that prints copies of digital photographs
- ring machine — a Linotype used primarily for making corrections.
- secd machine — Stack Environment Control Dump machine
- slot machine — a gambling machine operated by inserting coins into a slot and pulling a handle that activates a set of spinning symbols on wheels, the final alignment of which determines the payoff that is released into a receptacle at the bottom.
- spin machine — an organization or group of people acting together to present news or information in a way that creates a particular desired impression
- tape machine — a tape recorder.
- time machine — a theoretical apparatus that would convey one to the past or future.
