As the world started to develop in late 20th century computers emerged as one of the most noted technology. Computers started from a room large in size, which later reduced to a pc and now to a mere palmtop. All the way from a size (or resizing) journey, speed factor is ranked the most important for carrying out the operations over the computer machine. Space within the computer systems i.e hard disks are no limit now and are cheap,readily available. Even RAMs are also getting cheaper now.
To achieve higher speed the two major factors are:
1. Type of Processor
2. Data Transfer Rate Ability to fit in the hardware
Intel With these growing years has emerged as the worldwide leader in processor chip making. From the chips used in 8085 kits to PCs to super computers intel govern all the chips currently used. Even the most common word Pentium is the patent word introduced by Intel.
Pentium I,II to Pentium D and now the latest microprocessor a the size of a fingertip that has the same computational power that it took a 2,500-square-foot supercomputer to deliver just 11 years ago.Again Intel takes a radically different approach to boosting performance. It doesn’t mess with the size of the transistor.
Instead of thinking of the processor as a single brain, they designed it as 80 computing cores. Each core is like a mini-microprocessor, trained to do a small part of some larger task.Intel scientists are using special software algorithms to break huge computational problems into many small pieces .
By using the 80 cores to solve these bits of the problem, all at the same time and they have achieve the milestone of a trillion calculations per second. This type of divide-and-conquer problem-solving is called parallel processing.
