understanding transfer time and file size is to first know that 1 byte is equal to 8 bits as well as what each component is exactly. A bit is defined as:” a single basic unit of information, used in connection with computers and electronic communication”. (Quote, n.d.) A byte is “pronounced ‘bite’, is the next size up basic unit of measurement for information storage, usually consisting of 8 bits”. (Quote, n.d.) The next set of terms that are used is: Kilo (kilobytes) equal to 1,000 bits stated

* CPU- (Central Processing Unit) is the “ brain” of the computer and takes care of the bulk of the PC’s calculations. The CPU-related terms are quad-core or i7 core. It retrieves the instruction that it needs to run from program memory. * Intel- is a processor represents the processor’s functions. The processor depends on the speed, front bus speed, L2 cache size, architecture and other processor features. It has large numbers in the same family. * AMD- (Advanced Micro Devices) concentrates

computer, it reduces the processing ratio of processor core. This journal focuses on how the system resources is being shared. It also explains how an algorithm is being use to share, map and schedule task for more processor cores. At the end of the research, the algorithm states how the processor core are being improved greatly by 64.77% . with the speed up ratio of 43.55 can be obtained if 48 process unit is employed and are all activated and 10% will be the performance ratio.

change in technology a computer is/was being used. Initially, the generation term was used to distinguish between varying hardware technologies. But nowadays, generation includes both hardware and software, which together make up an entire computer system. There are totally five computer generations known till date. Each generation has been discussed in detail along with their time period, characteristics. We've used approximate dates against each generations which are normally accepted. Following
