Document Summary
Moores law: new technology emerges quickly, predicts number of transistors inside cpu increasing fast and it doubles every two years, dynamic random-access memory: capacity of memory chips. Three types of technology users: casual user: using internet + office, power user: needs powerful processing storage + creates programs, mobile user: needs lightweight and long battery life. Cpu is composed in two units: control units and arithmetic logic unit. Control unit: coordinates activities of all other computer components. Clock speed: amount of instruction proceeds every second. Overlocking: running cpu at a faster speed and then manufacture recommends. Liquid cooling: removing heat from computer with water cool system. Hyperthreading: new set of instructions starting before previous set has finished. Cpu benchmarks: measurements to compare speed and performance between processors. Cpu usage: percentage cpu usage is working. Cpu usage graph: records cpu usage for the past minute. Tower design: changing the shape of case holding computer parts.
