Depending on what OS (operating system) you are using. i will use windows for my answer. you can either press CTRL + ALT + DEL and select Task Manager from the list that appears. or you can right click on your task bar (the one at the bottom of your screen) and select task manager from there. once Task Manager is open navigate to the processes tab and then click the CPU to sort the list by descending order of CPU % if you are wanting to know this because the computer is running slow it might also be an idea to check how much memory it is using, by clicking on the memory normally located next to CPU.
What else can I help you with?
What does the computer hard disk or CPU do?
The computer hard disk and CPU have completely different purposes. Your question asks "or", so I will tell you that the hard disk stores data and programs. Having answered that the "or" means I must not tell you what the CPU does.
Where are programs copied into for the CPU to read?
Programs are copied into the computer's memory (RAM) for the CPU to read and execute.
Can you tell if your computer has a virus?
Yes, in most cases the speed and performance of the computer will slow down as a result of the CPU being hogged by the virus, some programs might not work right, changes to your computer you haven't made (such as new programs), and other odd behavior.
What is the meaning of Micro Computer?
A micro computer is a computer with a microprocessor as its central processing unit. A microprocessor incorporates most or all of a CPU. A CPU (central processing unit), executes computer programs.
The CPU runs programs by receiving instructions from?
cmos
What is a program for a processor speed test?
There are lots of programs out there that will help someone perform a processor speed test. Some of these programs include; CPU Speed Professional, CPU Speed Pro Software, and CPU Speed Test Software.
How are programs copied into the CPU for it to read?
Programs are copied into the CPU for it to read through a process called loading. Loading involves transferring the program's instructions from storage, such as a hard drive or memory, into the CPU's memory for execution. This allows the CPU to access and execute the program's instructions in the correct sequence.
What is used to store programs and data in its electronic circuits during the execution of programs by the CPU?
rom
Why is it important for the scheduler to distinguish IO-bound programs from CPU-bound programs?
Any CPU will have an I/O which en ply external devices data transfers. The CPU internally will process data. While both are data bus they are definitely not the same
What are CPU benchmarks and what are they used for?
CPU benchmarks are numbers that are used to measure how well a computer functions. It is not usually the most accurate and not to be used to tell accuracy one hundred percent.
Do you lose saved programs when changing CPU?
No. Changing a CPU is very similar to changing a ram chip, and neither should cause any loss of data or programs stored on the hard drive.
Describe the function of the instruction set of a CPU?
They tell the CPU where to find the data, when to read it, and what to do with it.
