What does it mean for a computer to have a 16-bit processor?

When you say that a computer has a 16 bit processor, you mean that the fundamental data size of the accumulator and registers is 16 bits. Examples of 16 bit processors include the DEC PDP-11, the Intel 8086/8088, and the MODCOMP Classic, circa 1980.


Who decides size of data types in a language?

The people who create the language take the liberty of deciding the size of data types in a programming lanauage.If you (as a programmer) create your own custom data type, for example by defining a class, then you decide what goes into it - for example, in Java, if one of the pieces of data requires an integer, you have the choice of storing it as an int, which uses 4 bytes, or as a long, which uses 8 bytes (and permits larger numbers).


How can you increase the size of font i?

Change the font size in your word processor or layout application, the printer should print at the size specified.


What are the variable parameters for TIG welding?

The variable parameters for gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) include; current, arc length, electrode type, electrode size, electrode grind angle, shielding gas type, shielding gas flow rate, and travel speed.


Will system boot up normally to operating system level if CMOS battery is dead?

CMOS holds many of the boot parameters, such as what type and size of hard disk, the type and speed of the processor and other critical information. Many times the computer can still boot with a dead CMOS battery, but the information will not be available and will affect the process. Replace the battery then run through the setup procedure to save the values.

What is the data path size for a 64 bit processor?

The data path size for a 64-bit processor is 64 bits. This means it supports memory addresses, integer sizes and data paths that are 8 octets wide.


Based on what criteria a processor is said to be some x-bit processor?

Generally, the bit size of a processor is indicated by the size of the accumulator, which is, most times but not always, the same as the internal data bus size. The 8086/8088 processor, for instance, is a 16 bit processor. The 8085 is an 8 bit processor. The 80386 is a 32 bit processor. The Q6600 Core2 Quad is a 64 bit processor. (These are just examples.)


Can data in a field exceed the specified field size?

One must customize the field to change the parameters if one wishes to have excess data. That will increase the size of the field, and therefore give the user more room to input more data than originally planned.


Computers with a larger word size can process less data in the same amount of time than computers with a smaller word size?

Processors with a smaller word size can process more data during each processor cycle.

What is the size of a sample for a survey?

The population is every data point you intend to generalise the survey results to. The sample frame is those data points that you can pick from for the survey. The sample is which of these data points you actually survey, and the sample size is how many of those data points there are. For instance, if you have 700 students in a school, and you have access to 300 of them, and decide to give 30 of them a survey, the sample size is 30.


What are the growth parameters of fish?

The growth parameters of fish vary depending on the type of fish that is being assessed. Growth parameters are used to determine the age of fish based on their size. A growth chart is used to measure growth parameters.
