In the Computer Championship, I often see games being drawn by "adjudication". What does that even mean?

Adjudication means that humans agree that further play is pointless and neither side can win.

no it means that a tournament director or a strong player determines the result of the game without finishing the game the person analyzes the position and the time and says the result of the game.

In the case of the OP's question regarding the CCC, it probably is a draw based on tablebases.
