What is the name of ist super computer?
Depending on your point of view, it could have been any of these:IBM NORC, December 1954, decimal 16 digit words, speed 67 KOPS, vacuum tube.UNIVAC LARC, June 1960, decimal 11 digit words, speed 250 KFLOPS, transistor.IBM STRETCH 7030, May 1961, binary 64 bit words, speed 1.2 MFLOPS, transistor.CDC 6600, 1964, binary 60 bit words, speed 3 MFLOPS, transistor.
A CPU performance can be measured in?
GHz Wrong. The performance of a CPU is measured in MiPs or MFLOPS The clock speed of a processor is in GHz, but does next to nothing in determining the actual performance of a processor. A 4GHz pentium 4 can't even shake a stick at a modern-day processor clocked at 3GHz.
Consider a memory system with a level 1 cache of 32 KB and DRAM of 512 MB with the processor operating at 1 GHz. The latency to L1 cache is one cycle and the latency to DRAM is 100 cycles. In each mem?
The computation performs 8 FLOPS on 2 cache lines, i.e., 8 FLOPS in 200 ns. This corresponds to a computation rate of 40 MFLOPS
What are Microprocessor speeds are rated in?
The answer is Mega Hertz. Check it out on the Web : -) My Two Cents Edit: How do people who give bad answers get trust? Hertz measures the REFRESH RATE OF A PROCESSOR. IPC, MIPS, and MFLOPS measure performance / speed with a great deal of accuracy over clock speed. An intel i7 with all its cores but one disabled will crush a single-core Pentium 4 in tests, even if you set the single-core i7 to 2.0GHz and the Pentium 4 to 4.0GHz
What unit is speed of a CPU measured in?
The speed of a moders computer is measured in MHz for RAM and GHz for Processors. 1 Hert is 1 occilation in 1 second, in a computer the clock speed of a processer is how many times per second it can make a binary calculation.
How is a microprocessors speed measured?
Typically, microprocessors (like the ones found in computers), measure their speed in hertz. A hertz is the measurement of a cycle in a second. So, 10 hertz means 10 cycles per second.In computing, a cycle (or, more specifically, a clock cycle) is the basic unit of measurement that the CPU uses to carry out instructions given to it by software. Therefore, in a CPU running at 900MHz, 900 million clock cycles will occur per second.Software sends commands to the processor called, instructions. These commands are the basis for how all programs run on a computer and are handled by the computer in a very complicated manner.However, a computer running at 3GHz, for example, is not performing 3 billion instructions per second. Some instructions take multiple cycles to complete and some can even have other instructions in the same cycle simultaneously.To complicate matters further, it is not accurate to say that a higher speed processor is better than another one at a lower speed. Certain AMD processors, for example, run at lower speeds than comparable Intel processors of their family but, because they use different architecture, perform at the same (and, sometimes, higher) performance levels than CPU's with high clock speeds.Also, processors with some sort of Hyper-Threading technology or, better yet, multiple cores (like Intel Core 2 Duo processors) will be rated at lowered speeds than other CPU's in their price range but, because of more than one (virtual) processor is running parallel to the others, more instructions are performed per clock cycle.There are also a few more factors to consider but this is the gist of it.
What was the name of first super computer When it was introduced?
The term supercomputing arose in the late 1920s in the United States in response to the IBM tabulators at Columbia University. The CDC 6600, released in 1964, is sometimes considered the first supercomputer.
