Tools For Processing

Today we looking at

CPU(Central Processing) - the main hardware used for processing

what are the different sorts of CPU's?

• core 2 Duo - (Intel produced)

There is an enormous range of Cpu's and their name implies with what processers their buit for. Well Processors are the things in your hardrive that take intruction in and processes it..feed through linerly..

duo... means they can double the process done at the same time

processor speed unit... it operates at so many.."gigahertz"(GHTz) is one

Hertz - is how many cycles per second - unit of measurement of how rapid things work



Processors have clock in which has Clock Cycle - determine how quick intructions can come in and be processed out.The more Hertz, the quicker the process works. We need to overlook this because its im

Only potential if the software uses this feature, the process need to formated into the software



Another Processor is "Quad Core" - also made by Intel

Instructions can be different sizes.... eg. 30 bit processor, 60 Bit Process

how big an instructions is - the bigger, the more complex and involved the intruction can be.

A unit of measure for instructions.

Maximum size an instruction cna be



All modern processors are 64 Bits.. the bigger, the expensive and complex to be made.

Depending teh software size, depends if they have



Arithemetic logic units - handles mathematical stuff within the core if the processor

do we need the most powerful processor? Depending the things ur doin,

If your doing graphic words, video Editing





There is a slightly newer processor "Core 17 Processor"



GRAPHIC PROCESSING



Another Type of Process - Graphic Processing - to do with games card

Graphic cards are used..when you have eg virtual games... they open you up to many process..

Ram card needs to hold a lot of something

the more ram the more buffs

CPU - RUNING dvd

Ram



Refresh Rate - how often it refreshes - 60 Hertz A Second

Ram that comes on your motherboard are used by your CPU AND Ram therefore you get very

cheaper to buy graphics card in Motherboard



1000 - kiloHertZ

1000000 - gIga



SOFTWARE PROCESSING

eg.Spreadsheets, and Data Basis (Excel)

eg of processing, When using pics and manipulating it - Graphic Process eg. Photoshop,

eg video EDITING software - Movie maker - processing video, manipulating it

Eg, sound files - ordasity - manipulate sounds



Process advance - verbal writing - u speak n the computer write it - process where your intructructions are interpreted and

-NEEDS EDITING!
