what is cpu cycle time. I need a accurate definition, please! thank you.?

CPU cycle time is the amount of time the processer give to different process in intervals,it is basically CPU scheduling , it the cpu cycle time due to which processor is able to decide which process has to give wht amount of time for ex:- you are running WINAMP,Mediaplayer,a word file now the CPU has to process the request made by each of the application for this is waht CPU scheduling is and CPU cycle time implements this, if any mail me at solutionmaster@gmail.com

Both CPUs are using clock speeds at different frequencies.  The performance delta between the two processors is going to be due to the internals of the processor.\n\nThe processor may have internal components which need to tell the clock "wait, I'm still working on something" and then let it know when it is finished.  That 'wait' operation takes the same amount of cycles on a faster clock as it does on a slower clock.\n\nSo, the main factors (aside from the outside of heat and cooling) are the number of clock cycles consumed by internal components of the processor.  The more 'streamlined' the internal components of a processor (i.e. the less clock cycles they consume) the faster they perform an operation.\n\nYes, it is possible to have a processor that operates at lower clock speeds and performs just as fast as processors that operate at higher clock speeds, only because they found a way to solve a problem in less steps.

The Task Manager (arrived at by pressing CTRL, SHIFT, and ESC simultaneously) will give a fine overview of CPU and Memory utilization.  \n\nFor a more complete view of resources including threads, GDI Objects, windows and handles you might check out a program called TaskInfo at http://www.iarsn.com/taskinfo.html\n\nI can't endorse the previous answer of simply ending every process you don't recognize.  Even as an advanced user there are likely to be a great many tasks there that are unrecognizable without help.  It is often helpful to search for the process name (or "Image Name" as it's called in the Task Manager under the processed tab) to find more about each process in question.  \n\nYou might also find more about the task(s) in question here:  http://www.liutilities.com/products/wintaskspro/processlibrary/

Modern CPUs are made up of a collection of transistors, which basically act like switches, on an intergrated circuit (IC) chip. The equivalent of something like 42 million of them on a Pentium 4. It takes electricity to operate them. The processor connects to the rest of the computer's circuitry thru pins inserted into a socket on the motherboard. I know it's a simplified explanation, but I hope that's what you were looking for. There's an entry with much greater depth of info at Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cpu

hold alt ctrl delete together, it will bring up task manager click on performance it will show cpu usage hope this helps

shuttle cpu is incredible!!!you no why?we used these brand cpu in our office 24hrs we dont switch the cpu OFF and ass far i can rmember its been 2 years since work with these stuff.we used these brands for networking,servers for airport facilities.try it

WHen you run the program, it is going through all the files in your whole computer, thats a lot of work. Your fan is probably heat controlled. WHen your CPU is working hard scanning, it is heating up so the fan comes on faster.

Your processor could have Hyperthreading enabled, which treats one processor as two, and helps speed up multitasking.\n\n\nps) What processor do you have?  Mine only shows one graph, and I know I don't have hyperthreading.  Is it a newer intel processor?

If you want to know how much cache your processor has i would go to www.belarc.com and download their free advisor tool.  it tells you exactly what is in your computer, hardware and software.\n\nYou could also check the BIOS setup, it might tell you.  When you restart your computer, you usually hit F2, F10, or DEL key right when the PC turns on.  Its usually in the first screen.\nHope this helps!

The problem with calculating running time of an algorithm is that there are so many variables which affect running time (far beyond just cpu speed and RAM size).  It is impossible to come up with a accurate calculation from these variables.\n\nBig O is useful because it calculates relative effeciency, regardless of hardware outside conditions, and size of test data.\n\nIn order to come up with actual numbers, the ONLY accurate way is to actually run the algorithm and time it.

there's a little program called cpuid that tells you this and more but you could look in your bios too

I'm sure that 6&5 is faster than 6%5 in all CPUs.\n\nIt can't be slower in any case because 6&5 is an elementary bitwise operation (instead of 6%5), which is counted in one cycle in all architectures I know.\n\nOn the other side, some processor can have specific instruction that counts 6%5 also in one cycle. In that case those operations will be equivalent.\n\nBut you can hardly notice this difference in usual programming.

Hmmm... Something, somewhere, is confused.\n\nI'd consider myself an advanced programmer. I am familliar with parallel programming. "Parallel O-Notation" is a new term for me. I googled it, and came up with zero documents. I know what Big O-Notation is, but Parallel O-Notation isn't jiving.\n\nHere's a document that talks about parallel computing, and dicusses speedup due to parallelism...\nhttp://users.informatik.uni-halle.de/~jopsi/dpar03/chap1.shtml\n\nThe only paper I could find on the work-time scheduling principle is an article you can buy here:\nhttp://csdl2.computer.org/persagen/DLAbsToc.jsp?resourcePath=/dl/trans/td/&toc=comp/trans/td/2001/09/l9toc.xml&DOI=10.1109/71.954621\n\nYou might be able to find a copy of that article for free at your local collegiate library.

is that a complete question?\n\nwhich proc?  intel, amd, power pc?\n\nthe x86s each have power management for clocks (Intel SpeedStep, for example)...\n\ncare to expand the question?

Hertz is a measure of cycles per second of whatever.  In the case of a computer processor, it means calculations (in the binary calculations of modern computers 1+1, 1+0, 0+1, or 0+0 are the only possibilities) per second.  Kilohertz is 1000 Hz, megahertz is 1,000,000 Hz, and gigahertz is 1,000,000,000 Hz.  Thus, your processor does 3 billion calculations per second.  The data bus speed (the 500 MHz) is the speed of interaction between your main processor and whatever other peripherals your computer has, but the processor itself has a speed of 3 Ghz.  Your hard disk rev. speed is the rotations per minute that the disks inside spin at, and faster rpm means that the reader/writer head can read/write data faster.  7200 rpm is the norm nowadays, so you're fine.\n\nAnd Chicco, there have been overprocessed CPUs on expensive custom computers with speeds up to 4.8~5 GHz (though they burn themselves out pretty quickly unless you have some extreme cooling system).
