Object Oriented Programming Programming Language
1,928 wordsA high-level programming language developed by Dennis Ritchie at Bell Labs in the mid 1970 s. Although originally designed as a systems programming language, C has proved to be a powerful and flexible language that can be used for a variety of applications, from business programs to engineering. C is a particularly popular language for personal computer programmers because it is relatively small -- it requires less memory than other languages. The first major program written in C was the UNIX op...

Cd Rom Hard Drive
1,879 wordsBuying a Computer today is much more complicated then it was ten years ago. The choices we have are abundant, and the information we must gather to make those choices is much greater. The average consumer is a more educated buyer; they at least have some ideas of what they want in a computer. Yet, we must still ask ourselves these significant questions; such as: What will the primary function of my computer be? What computer components should I consider at the time of purchase? How much money do...

Competition Among Processor Makers Amd And Intel
1,199 wordsIt is hard to imagine that there is any other processor than Intel. There is a processor called AMD (advanced micro devices) currently leading in the silicon race for the fastest processor at an affordable price. No longer shall Intel lead the market when AMD makes its name superior. A CPU is a microprocessor that is generally constructed with millions of tiny switches called transistors that are imbedded in silicon. The outer shell is ceramic with gold pins protruding out of the processor to ma...

Floppy Disk Drive Cd Rom Drive
1,729 wordsPower Supply The + 3. 3 V and + 5 V circuits supply power to all the electronic circuitry in the system (motherboard, adapter cards and disk drive logic boards), and through the port sockets on the motherboard that poke out through the rear of the case, to the peripherals that don't have their own power supply (e. g. keyboard, mouse). Power supplies are often overlooked, but are essential to the proper operation of your system which requires a good, steady supply of DC power at the appropriate v...

If we look through the history we will see that the history of OS developing can be presented in such logicality: the reason of appearing, the mainframe era, the era of minicomputers and the rise of Unix, time of 8 -bit home computers and game consoles and the personal computer era (Apple, DOS, etc) Years ago computers lacked any form of operating system. The users worked with the computers using his or her program a...

The polar opposite of a real-time operation is a batch job with interactive time sharing falling somewhere in-between the two extremes. Alternately, a system is said to be hard real-time if the correctness of an operation depends not only upon the logical correctness of the operation but also upon the time at which it is performed. An operation performed aft...

Amount Of Time Silicon Chip
2,049 wordsomputers. I should start by saying that the Moores law is a theory developed in 1965 by Mr. Gordon Moore, one of the founding fathers of Intel. The theory basically states that the number of transistors per square inch on integrated circuits had doubled every year since the integrated circuit was invented. I should note that Mr. Moore predicted that this trend would continue for the foreseeable future, yet did not specify how foreseeable. In subsequent years (1970 s- 1990 s), the pace slowed dow...

Central Processing Unit Read Only Memory
2,332 wordsBUILDING A COMPUTER With increasing popularity of computer games, and multimedia home PC users often need an unexpensive computer system upgrade. By building a custom computer one is able to combine components, and operating system to provide maximal gaming performance. Computers are often called number manipulators, because of their ability to run millions of mathematical operations per second (White 43). Computers use binary system of numbers, which allows them to operate system of microscopic...

Hard Drive Video Card
1,057 wordsThe computer is a commonly used machine in todays society. Building the right system is important factor to having a stable running PC. Knowing what you need the computer for, the parts inside the computer, and installing all the components correctly is also very important to this process. Knowing what the computer is being purchased for is very important. First you must think about who the users are going to be. Whether it is yourself, the kids, or even for the office. This is important because...

Cpu Computer Hot
304 wordsThe Computer A computer is a very unique machine. It has many different parts and a lot of different noises. Some parts are hot, and some are cold. Computers have many different sounds that they make. Depending on the sound it makes, it could have a problem. When your computer beeps at you. It normally means that an error has occurred and that it needs to be fixed. Or it is a game and it is supposed to make sounds like that. But there is one sound the computer always makes. That sound is a littl...

Floating Point Clock Speed
2,953 wordsFloating Point Coprocessors The designer of any microprocessor would like to extend its instruction set almost infinitely but is limited by the quantity of silicon available (not to mention the problems of testability and complexity). Consequently, a real microprocessor represents a compromise between what is desirable and what is acceptable to the majority of the chips users. For example, the 68020 microprocessor is not optimized for calculations that require a large volume of scientific (i. e....
