Paul Gogue Unit 2 Hyper-Threading NT1110 Introduction: Hyper-threading or HT technology is used by some Intel microprocessor's which allows a single microprocessor to act like two seperate processors to the operating system and the application programs that use it. Hyper-threading enables the "core" processor to execute two concurrent threads of instruction sent by the OS. This simultaneous multi-thread implementation (SMT) is used to improve the parellization of computation, which means

Starting off, there are two major players in the CPU industry, Intel and their rival AMD. Something you should know about a CPU is that it has a system bus which carries info into, and out of the CPU. When the system bus enters the CPU it is usually referred to as the Frontside bus, the frontside bus is normally equipped with a 64bit wide data path. In the CPU you have a controller including one or more ALU’s and the internal cache. * ALU – Arithmetic Logic Unit *responsible for performing complex

Final Notes Parity is what we use with RAM for error checking. Static RAM does not need to be refreshed. Rambus is a type of RAM not frequently used today. SMART is used with ATA hard drives. Tracks, cylinders, sectors, read/write heads are parts of a hard drive’s geometry. BIOS gives the computer initial instructions when it is first booted. Fully updating the BIOS by erasing and rewriting is flashing. New hardware, faster CPU, and new operating system are three reasons to update the BIOS

Port Expanders Roydrick L. Rogers ITT Technical Institute 17th April 2014 Port expander is a device that allows a port on a computer to connect to multiple devices. There are two basic types of port expanders, internal and external. An internal port expander has a connection on the inside of a computer, connected to the motherboard and the only part the user sees is the expansion plate containing multiple ports. External port expander has connections on the outside of the computer and
