 What is Processor

Definition – Processor is known as “Microprocessor“, and it likes as small type of chip that is placed in the computers and another electronics components. Processor can manage all instructions such as arithmetical, logical, input/output (I/O) and other basic instructions, which are created by hardware or operating system. Its main job role is to obtain input from input devices and then produce the accurately result on the output devices.

 Now these days, more advance processors are available in the market, which are capable to control trillions of instructions in per second.

Processors are used in PCs as well as they can be used into other electronic devices such as smart phones, tablets, PDA, and more. Intel and AMD are main companies, which are produced best quality processors in the market.

 Basic Components of Computer Processor

  • ALU stands for arithmetic logic unit, which help out to execute all arithmetic and logic operations.
  • FPU (Floating Point Unit) is also called the “Math coprocessor” that helps to manipulate mathematically calculations.
  • Registers store all instructions and data, and it fires operands to ALU and save the output of all operations.
  • Cache memory helps to save more time in travelling data from main memory.

Primary CPU Processor Operations

  • Fetch – In which, to obtain all instructions from main memory unit (RAM).
  • Decode – In this operation, to convert all instructions into understandable ways then other components of CPU are ready to continue further operations, and this entire operations ar performed by decoder.
  • Execute – Here, to perform all operations and every components of CPU which are needed to activate to carry out instructions.
  • Write-Back – After executing all operations, then its result is moved to write back.

You can Enhance Speed of Processor

The processor’s speed is totally depending on the ability of your CPU. You can boost up the speed of processor as well as increase the processor functionality. If, your CPU is getting unlocked then you are capable to over clock, its means you can increase the frequency of your CPU instead of its standard specifications.

If, you purchase the processor that is locked then you have not chances to increase the processor’s speed. 

Types of Processors

Here, we will discuss about different types of Computer processors, which are used in computers. Below shown each one in detail:

Single Core Processor

Single Core CPUs were used in the traditional type of computers. Those CPUs were able to perform one operation at once, so they were not comfortable to multi tasking system. These CPUs got degrade the entire performance of computer system while running multiple programs at same time duration.

In Single Core CPU, FIFO (First Come First Serve) model is used, it means that couple of operations goes to CPU for processing according to priority base, and left operations get wait until first operation completed.

Dual Core Processor

Dual Core processor contains two processors, and they are linked with each other like as single IC (Integrated circuit). Every processor consist its own local cache and controller, so they are able to perform different difficult operations in quickly than single core CPU.

There are some examples which are used as dual core processors such as Intel Core Duo, the AMD X2, and the dual-core PowerPC G5.

Multi Core Processor

Multi core processor is designed with using of various processing units means “Cores” on one chip, and every core of processor is able to perform their all tasks. For example, if you are doing multiple activities at a same time like as using WhatsApp and playing games then one core handles WhatsApp activities and other core manage to another works such as game.

Quad Core Processor

Quad core processor is high power CPU, in which four different processors cores are combined into one processor. Every processor is capable to execute and process all instructions own level without taking support to other left processor cores. Quad core processors are able to execute massive instructions at a time without getting waiting pools. Quad core CPU help to enhance the processing power of computer system, but it performance depend on their using computing components.

Octa Core Processor

Octa core processor is designed with using of multiprocessor architecture, and its design produces the higher processing speed. Octa core processor has best ability to perform multi tasking and to boost up efficiency of your CPU. These types of processors are mostly used in your smart phones.

 If you are having an issue with installing a printer or getting other issues dealing with a printer or printer setup on the computer, try this troubleshooter.  If a step doesn't apply, skip to next step  1. Turn computer off  2. Turn printer off 3. Disconnect power to printer for 2 minutes  4. Turn printer back on  5. Wait one minute  6. Make sure all connections are good  7. If your printer has both parallel and USB connectors, only have one of the two connected and not both. The USB is faster. (most new systems do not have parallel connections)  8. Turn computer back on  9. Make sure the printer has ink  10. Is the printer networked? If so is it connected to the network via computer or router. If it is connected via a computer and the computer is off, the other systems will not see it.  11. Make sure the dependencies to the print spool is started  12.

RESISTOR TESTING

1- Visual inspection: Checks for missing or any burning on resistance.   2- Using Digital Multimeter: You can check the resistor resistance by selecting the ohm range in the digital multimeter, If the resistor is in circuit, you will generally have to remove the resistor so you are testing only the resistor value and not the other components in the circuit.   Connect test probes across the two points of the resistor as shown in the photo, polarity isn’t important, value of resistance shown is 9.86 kΩ. Note: All resistors have a specific tolerance rating. The tolerance rating is marked by a color band on the end of the resistor’s body, normally the band is gold indicating 5 % tolerance. If the tolerance band is silver, then the rating is 10 %. How to test SMD Resistors: Because of the small size of SMD resistors, there is often not room for the traditional color band code to be printed on them. Therefore, new resistor SMD codes were developed. The most commonly seen codes are the three

   What is an IP address?     An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication.     It serves two main functions: identifying the host or network interface and providing the location of the device in the network. Types of IP addresses:     IPv4: This is the most common type of IP address used today. It consists of four sets of numbers separated by periods (e.g., 192.168.0.1). IPv4 allows for approximately 4.3 billion unique addresses.     IPv6: With the increasing number of connected devices, IPv6 was introduced to address the depletion of IPv4 addresses. It uses eight sets of numbers separated by colons (e.g., 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334). IPv6 provides a significantly larger address space. How IP addresses work:     When a device wants to communicate with another device over the internet, it needs to know the destination device's IP ad
