Chapter TG.1, Problem 1DQ
Program Plan Intro
Microprocessor:
- It is a type of computer processor that contains all the functions of computer’s central Processing unit.
- It is designed with millions of microscopic transistors that are embedded inside the circuit of a silicon wafer or chips.
Speed of the microprocessor:
- The speed of the microprocessor is determined based on the number of instruction that get processed in a second.
- It is commonly measured by the number machine instruction gets cycled per second (MIPS).
- The speed of the microprocessor generally depends on the following factors and they are:
- Number of transistors
- Clock speed
- Cache memory
- Bandwidth
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Factors that affect the speed of the microprocessor are:
The below are the factors that affect the speed of the microprocessor and they are:
- The size of on-chip cache present: Cache is used to solve discrepancy in speed between the main memory and microprocessor.
- Data bus bandwidth: It determines on how many instructions can be handled at the main memory at a particular time. Wider the bandwidth the maximum number of instructions could be handled.
- Size of the word: It is the number of bits the microprocessor could handle at a particular time. Increase in word size improves the performance.
- Optimization in locality of reference: Ensuring right data got from the cache at the required time could improve the performance.
- Number of cores: The maximum the number of core can improve the speed and performance.
- Technique to process the data: Processing data in a parallel way can improve the performance.
