Microprocessors

A microprocessor is the heart of any computer, whether it is a server, a desktop machine, or a laptop. This single chip contains the arithmetic, control, and logic circuitry necessary to interpret and execute computer programs.

Compare multi-core and dual core?

"Dual core" implies that there are two separate instruction execution units placed on a single "die." Some use shared components, such as cache, while others have two full processors, including all sub-components. All dual core processors could be considered multi-core (which simply means multiple "cores" or "processors"). However, a tri-core or quad-core is also a multi-core. Therefore, all dual cores are multi-cores, but not all multi-cores are dual cores.

Why are some CC resistors physically larger than others?

acheiving resistance with a very close value is possible and it needs much material

What is an L1 cache?

Cache is a special type of memory which is quicker to access. stuff you have recently used will go to your cache so when you perform a function you have just performed it will happen quicker. 4MB is a large cache. Level two Cache is a special memory type that is faster than Lv1 Cache, it is like RAM but it is used by the CPU as a fuction Storage to make that process faster.

Why do you only use L1 L2 and L3 cache on the processor and not for primary memory?

Because those cache memories are super fast and super expensive.

(same applies for SSD and HDD hard disks..)

Using your keyboard to make symbols?

If you have a keyboard that has a number pad on the right hand side, you can turn numberlock off. After, hold the Alt key down and press any of the number on that number pad and you will get a symbol. Goodluck ☻

What is the latest processor?

The processor is an integrated circuit for a gadget and it is the hardware to execute a program within the computer. The latest processor that is built today is the 4th generation Intel Core i7 processor that delivers a top of the line performance designed for a very demanding task.

What do you mean by assembler directives?

For completing all the tasks, an assembler needs some hints from the programmer, i.e. the required storage for a particular constant or a variable, logical names of the segments, types of the different routines and modules, end of file, etc. These types of hints are given to the assembler using some predefined alphabetical strings called assembler directives, which help the assembler to correctly understand the assembly language programs to prepare the codes.

Whats Processor is better one with a 32 bit or one with 1.4 GHZ?

A 1.4 GHZ Processor can be a 32-bit processor, but it can also be a 64-bit processor. The distinction between 32-bit vs 64-bit and the speed are two completely different things. In general, when looking for a processor - keep these things in mind: 64-bit is better than 32-bit, assuming you are running a 64-bit operating system on the 64-bit processor. Running a 32-bit OS on a 64-bit processor is fine, but you will not get any benefits from having a 64-bit processor in those situations. Multi-core processors are better than single core processors. Having multiple cores is similar (though not the same) as having multiple processors. They can process more tasks in the same amount of time. In general, if you can get a dual core or a quad core - you'll be better off. Lastly, speed is also important. The higher the speed (i.e. 1.4 GHZ, 1.8 GHZ et. al.) the faster the processor can get things done. If you are shopping for a processor to put in a specific system board, you must make sure you get the proper type of processor. If you have a system board that is designed for an Intel processor, an AMD processor will likely not work. You need to determine the socket type and supported processors for your system before deciding on one.

Who was president 1984 to 1990?

Ronald Regan 1981-1989 George H. W. Bush 1989-1993

Explain instruction cycle?

An instruction cycle is the rudimentary operation cycle of any computer. It involves the CPU fetching a program from memory and executing it fully.

A basic set of commands permanently built into the CPU chip?

The instruction set is the list of all the instructions, and all their variations, that a processor (or in the case of a virtual machine, an interpreter) can execute.

Instructions include:

  • Arithmetic such as add and subtract
  • Logic instructions such as and, or, and not
  • Data instructions such as move, input, output, load, and store
  • Control flow instructions such as goto, if ... goto, call, and return.

What is the system unit?

It is a case that contains electronic components of the computer use to process and Calculating data :)

PC wont turn on Power supply and CPU turn on for 2 seconds and then stop Replaced power supply but does the same thing?

If you've replaced the power supply with a known good power supply (I've seen more than one case where the 'new' power supply was defective) there are 2 other things I can think of that may be causing this. First of all, it could be that there's a cooling problem with your CPU. More than likely, if this is the case, the heat sensor on the motherboard that lets the computer know the CPU temperature is faulty. This is fairly rare. My second idea, unfortunately, is the motherboard. There just aren't too many things that cause a computer to turn off that quickly. One good way to make narrow it down to the motherboard is to strip it down to just the CPU and motherboard and power supply. Disconnect all drives and remove all add-on cards (video, sound, NIC, etc.) The goal isn't to get it to boot per se, but to see if it stays on. You should have ONLY the motherboard with the CPU and power supply plugged in. If it DOES stay on, start putting things in one at a time to figure out what's causing the problem. If this doesn't help or you need additional info, let me know and I'll get back to you ASAP! :)

How do multiple core processors work and what process does the manufacturer use to clock the hertz?

A "core" is all the circuitry needed for one CPU. Early processors like 8080A, Z80, 6502, 8088, 68000 and so on contained one core per package. If you wanted to build a multiprocessor computer with single-core chips, you had to put multiple chips in the machine. Apple made a few of them, but not very many people bought them because only a few programs could use multiprocessing. Photoshop has supported multiprocessing for a long time, so most of the people who bought those machines were serious Photoshop pros.

The "multiple core" processors they sell today are made with multiple CPUs in the same package. To get the multicore feature to work, they wrote support for it into the operating system, and now all programs can use it.

A CPU's hertz is clocked by multiplying a reference frequency from a crystal oscillator. You might have a 3GHz chip, say, but there's no way in the world you'd want 3GHz radio frequency running around inside your computer - microwave and near-microwave frequencies are REAL picky about the circuits they're in. If you didn't have an expansion board shoved all the way in, you could wind up jamming all the satellite dishes in your neighborhood. But in the CPU, which can be properly shielded, they're fine.

Who invented microprocessor trainer kit?

The first British Microprocessor Trainer was designed by Dr. Ravi Raizada of the Limrose Group in 1971, It used the newly available 8080 Microprocessor and about two thousand units were sold during the first few years. Organisations like British Telecom and The royal Navy (UK) bought a large number of the Microtutor MPT8080 to train their technical staff.

MPT8080 continued to be manufactured after some modifications and addition of a keyboard for easier data entry till recently, and early examples will be soon amongst he exhibits at the National Museum of Computing in Milton Keynes.

Why register to register instruction is faster?

Register to register addressing mode is faster because you don't have to do an extra memory access cycle or more.

Register to register addressing mode is faster because:

  • Registers are part of and are directly accessibility by the CPU assembly.
  • They electronics that make up a register use more expensive but faster circuitry.
  • Since it does not require memory access, the steps and time involved in memory address decoding and memory access are skipped.
