MicroprocessorA silicon chip that contains a CPU. In the world of personal computers, the terms microprocessor and CPU are used interchangeably. At the heart of all personal computers and most workstations sits a microprocessor. Microprocessors also control the logic of almost all digital devices, from clock radios to fuel-injection systems for automobiles. Three basic characteristics differentiate microprocessors: - Instruction set: The set of instructions that the microprocessor can execute. - bandwidth: The number of bits processed in a single instruction. - clock speed : Given in megahertz (MHz), the clock speed determines how many instructions per second the processor can execute. In both cases, the higher the value, the more powerful the CPU. For example, a 32-bit microprocessor that runs at 50MHz is more powerful than a 16-bit microprocessor that runs at 25MHz. In addition to bandwidth and clock speed, microprocessors are classified as being either RISC (reduced instruction set computer) or CISC (complex instruction set computer). External Processor Interfaces and Operation The way that the processor "talks" to other parts of the system is in many ways as important a factor in indicating system power as how it works internally. The processor controls the entire PC, and uses dedicated control pathways called "buses" to send information between itself and the system cache, memory and other devices. These are the processor's external interfaces, which can be different even for otherwise similar CPUs. There are several different types of buses on a modern PC. The section on System Bus Function and Features provides the basic details on the various bus types, the hierarchy of buses, and general explanations of bus size and bandwidth. You can also find there descriptions of the I/O system buses such as PCI and ISA. At the processor level, the important buses are the processor bus and memory bus, which we discuss in more detail here. Do the following tasks: - Read the text. - Broad the information in each paragraph. - Speak of microprocessor charachteristics. жүктеу/скачать 464,87 Kb. Достарыңызбен бөлісу:
