Flashcards
1.1.2 Types of processor
Cards in this deck (9)
- 1RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computing),Smaller range of instructions, fewer transistors needed, less power, less cost. Better at pipelining. More complicated for compilers. Fewer addressing modes
- 2CISC (Complex Instruction Set Computing),Greater range of instructions, more transistors needed, more power, more cost. Several clock cycles to execute. Simpler compilers. More addressing modes
- 3GPU (Graphics Processing Unit),Specifically designed for graphics calculations. Can process data in parallel. Requires a CPU
- 4Uses of GPU,Processing graphics, Modelling physical systems, Processing audio, Breaking passwords, Machine learning
- 5SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple Data),Same task is carried out on multiple bits of data simultaneously, Often used by a GPU
- 6MIMD (Multiple Instructions Multiple Data),Different tasks are carried out concurrently on different pieces of data
- 7Multicore Approach,Parallel processing within a single CPU by sharing computation across its cores
- 8Example of RISC,Phone, tablet, embedded system
- 9Example of CISC,Desktops, laptops
