The Effect of Compiler Optimizations on Pentium 4 Power Consumption John S. Seng Dean M. Tullsen Dept. of Computer Science and Engineering University of California, San Diego La Jolla, CA 92093-0114 jseng,tullsen @cs.ucsd.edu Abstract This paper examines the effect of compiler optimizations on the energy usage and power consumption of the Intel Pentium 4 processor. We measure the effects of different levels of general optimization and specific optimization. We classify general optimizations as

Exploring the Motherboard and Busses Module 3 Short Answer Assignment The major components of a computer mother board are the processor, memory, chipset, expansion slots, and IO bank. The Processor is the brain of the computer. The processor is the chip where all of the computing is completed. The processor is usually removable and inserted into a socket. The processor can be attached directly to the mother board. The processor is normally protected by a heat sink which assists in removing heat

storage interfaces, serial and parallel ports, expansion slot and controllers for peripherals. The CPU controls the operations of the hardware and software. BIOS (basic input/output system) is software that controls basic computer hardware functions. Mass storage are things such as the RAM which temporarily stores files while the computer is functioning. The serial and parallel ports allow SETA and other connections to be hooked up to the motherboard. Expansion slots are for video cards and other such

1. What did Hannah do to make a first cut in the list of potential countries? How did he get from 200 to less than 35 potential new markets? Which variables seemed more important in his decision-making? Which unused variables might have been useful? Hannah created a criterion that included the factors that played an important role in Ruth’s Chris success and used that to narrow down the potential new markets. These factors were beef-eaters (i.e. the market has their primary customers as beef

What is a RAM? (RAM) Random Access Memory provides space for computer to read and write data to be accessed by the CPU (central processing unit)9 (http://kb.iu.edu/data/ahty.html). A sufficient RAM results in faster computer speed and less dependence on the hard disk for supplying data which is needed by the computer to run software applications like MS Office. When a computer has more RAM this reduces the number of times the CPU reads data from hard drive and allows the computer to work faster

outer (set up away from case). Inner tools may be expansion cards placed in expansion slots on the motherboard, for example a network card, audio card, video capture card, and video card. Outer tools include keyboards, screens, mouse, printers, scanners, and digital cameras. You may connect an external tool to the system utilizing slots coming off the motherboard (serial, parallel, USB, IEEE 1394, etc), or a slot can be supplied by an expansion card. But, for all these various tools, some fundamental
