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.

What is microprocessor and describe its types?

A microprocessor is a chip that serves as the central processing unit (CPU) in personal computer(PCs). it is often called a logic chip or master chip. it controls all programs and performs arithmetic calculations with great accuracy. it acts as the 'brain' of the computer.

example:-

Intel 4004 , Intel 8080 , Intel Pentium Pro , Pentium Microprocessor.

The percentage of time your CPU is working is referred to as CPU?

CPU or Processor Utilization.

In other words.... For the test you are taking and I will be taking the answer is A.) Usage

or, it could be b) usage. lol.

How does DMA module communicate with CPU?

DMA can communicate with CPU using Cycle stelaing process

Does The control unit of the CPU manages the switches outside the CPU?

The answer is False. The Control Unit of the CPU manages the switches inside the CPU.

Reference: Technology In Action 8th Edition; Evans, Martin, Poatsy pp 355, second paragraph, first sentence.

What are the differences between microprocessor and micro controllers?

yes,microprocessor does not have it's own memory while microcontroller has it's own memory.microprrocessor has required peripheril devices'

What was the most common CPU cooling mechanism before the Pentium CPU was introduced?

Before the Pentium CPU was introduced, the most common cooling mechanism inside a computer was a simple fan that was typically attached to the power supply.

What do you mean by 0000H?

This is the fetch instruction that the CPU takes for executing.

Where can one find reviews on Dual Xeon processors?

Reviews of the Dual Xeon Processor can be found on many electronics and computer webpages, such as PC World. Alternatively, read the reviews on sites such as Amazon.

What is the basic function of CPU in the computer?

A CPU processor or central processing unit controls the functions of most electronic products. The CPU accepts the input data, processes the information and sends it to the component that is in charge of executing the action. CPUs are also known as microprocessors and are at the center of any computer system. Although CPUs are most often thought of as a computer chip, they can also be found in many other electronic devices including cell phones, hand held devices, microwaves, television sets and toys.

How many waiting processes can a single processor have?

1 process at most is running.

1 process or multiple are ready.

1 process or multiple are waiting.

What is difference between parallel processing and pipelining in computer architecture?

the pipelining breaks a big task into number of small parts. a part higher in order gets processed n serves as an input for the next sub-task,while in parallel processing various tasks are run at the same time

What is processor heat sensor?

a part in a motherboard

It's exactly what it sounds like. The heat sensor for a processor measures the current temperature of that processor. This allows the computer to shut itself down if the temperature climbs high enough to cause physical damage to its components.

Define the static and dynamic branch prediction in computer architecture?

Static branch prediction always assumes two things:

# Forward-pointing branches will not be taken. # Backward-pointing branches will be taken.

What is a command to the CPU to perform one processing function on one or two data inputs?

An instruction is a command to the CPU to perform one processing function on one or two data inputs.

Where can someone compare CPU Temp Monitor ratings?

To compare CPU temperature monitor ratings, one should consider software such as that on offer on 'Tech power up'. Alternatively, ask a computer expert for advice.

Can you put a Intel core 2 duo e8400 wolfdale 3.0ghz 6mb l2 cache lga 775 65w dual-core processor from newegg on a dell dimension e520?

I'm stupid of buying this without checking anything, I put it in and the computer wouldn't start. I think it's because the e8400 has a bus speed of 1333Mhz and the e520 can't support that speed but I'm not sure. You'll have to get something that Dell recommends, or you'll find out that you've wasted a lot of money.

What is the meaning of mode?

Mode refers to the current set of functions. For example, on a digital watch, in time-setting mode, a specific button will change the hour; change the watch to stop-watch mode and that button might start the timing.

Write a PLSQL code to print a multiplication table where the input is given by the user in Oracle?

Declare

num number(10):=#

a number(10);

counter number:=1;

begin

for i in 1..10 LOOP

a:=num*counter;

DBMs_output.put_line(a);

Counter:=counter+1;

end loop;

end;

What is another term for the CPU?

Central Processing Unit, processor, microprocessor, computer brain, floating-point-calculator, integer calculator, core, etc

They can be called a lot of things, but CPU, processor and microprocessor are the big three.

What is the the best cooler for a processor?

Best is a subjective question that requires personal opinion to answer. There are a few empirical answers to it however it all depends on the processor being cooled. An Ivy Bridge processor has an extremely small die area, and those will not be as effectively cooled as one of the large "sandy Bridge" era CPUs. AMD processors likewise use a larger lithogrpahy that is more effectively cooled with large heatpipe coolers.

For cost efficiency and low idle temperatures a heatpipe Direct touch cooler with aluminum fins will generally be the most cost effective. Originally designed as a "Xigmatek HDT" tower, it has been rebadged as an OCZ vendetta, Coolermaster Hyper 212 and a number of other heatsinks over the last decade.

For larger high TDP processors the answer is still basically the same, except a much larger size (3 to 4 times the fin surface area) and more heatpipes, combine with additional fans. As the Thermaltake Frio, Noctua DH-14 and the Phanteks PH-TC14PE are among some of the highest rated large sized tower coolers.

Lastly on the serious end of "air cooling" is what is termed "water cooling."

Water cooling is a misleading term as modern heatpipe coolers also use water to move heat from teh CPU surface to shed it at large metal fins.

Modern water cooling, uses standard water to transfer heat from a CPU block to a large radiator that can be setup somewhere else, either in the case or externally. The primary benefit to this is large amounts of heat can be moved efficiently. This does not lead to significantly lower temperatures over a high end "tower cooler" but can reduce overall case temperatures, and more importantly can equal the performance of the best tower coolers at far lower noise levels.
