Document Summary
Chips have multi-core interfaces, where slow chips put together make one chip that is fast. Can layer chips both vertically and horizontally, meaning there"s multi-core development. Ex. a 2014 macbook pro uses an 2. 6 ghz intel core i5. The number of things connected to the internet is doubling every 2 years. Moore"s law - speed, power of computer chips will double every two years because the number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit doubles every two years and the size of hardware will half every 15 years. Cache - list of entries accumulated over search history, ex. Clearing the cache on your computer removes all addresses previously listed. Concurrency - do many things at the same time. Pipeline computing: people pass a task around. Concurrency: found in computer chips where actions happen all at the same time. Graphics processing unit (gpu) - concentrated amount of chips used to decipher graphics in sophisticated video games.
