How process and threads relate to CPU architecture?
A process is a program in execution,it needs resources like CPU time,memory,files and i\o devices to accomplish its task. Threads are lightweight process
Is it better to have a 1.5 GHz dual core processor or a 3.0 GHz?
the 1.5 dual core can handle 2 threads at the same time and 3.0 single core can only handle 1 thread both of them switch threads rapidly if you have CPU-z you will find that the only difference in number of threads (the number of cores in single core is 2) short answer : the dual core is faster in multitasks the single core is faster in single task (like most of games)
How does a thread work in a CPU?
A thread in a CPU is a line of information that the CPU must process. You can look at the threads in your computer by hitting ctrl+alt+Del and going into the process tab.
How many processors can a CPU have?
A CPU is a Processor. (central processing unit or microprocessor), a CPU alias Processor can have multiple Cores which are basically processors but they are referred to as Cores.
In which microprocessor does the concept of pipeline first introduced?
In 8086 pipeline concept was introduced bcoz in 8086 we started using a buffer space which fetches the instruction at the same time when CPU processes
What option interfaces with the memory controller chip to get lines of code into the CPU?
Pre-fetch - a component of the pipeline interfaces with the MCC (Memory Controller Chip) to get lines of code into the CPU
What component can have many thousands of transitors on a single piece of silicon?
Central Processing Unit, CPU
What improvement(s) have CPU manufacturers put into processors to deal with pipeline stalls?
Added multiple pipelines
Describe the action taken by a kernel to context switch between kernel level threads?
Context switching between kernel threads typically requires saving the value of the CPU registers from the thread being switched out and restoring the CPU registers of the new thread being scheduled.
What is the difference between a 4p and 2p server?
A 4p server has 4 CPU socket in one motherboard; i.e. 4 physical CPU's(not just cores or threads) on one motherboard. A 2p server has dual CPU.
