computer performance

computer performance

1. clock speed

   • why?
     • minimum specification for software not being met
     • device may be slow at loading programs/applications and files
   • what?
     • measured in Hz
       • 1 Hz =1 instruction/cycle per second
       • 1 GHz -10000000000 instructions per second
   • how?
     • ptograms will load faster as more insturctions can be processed in processed per a second

2. cores

   • why?
     • miniimum specification for software not being met
     • good for multi-taskiing
   • how?
     • imporves performance by allowing appucations to multiply to to run at the same time
     • improves multi-tasking
   • what?
