This chapter describes the general characteristics of computer networks that couple distinct classic computers, central processing unit (CPU) and memory, into a single closely coupled distributed computing resource.
"There were wireless intercoms in every room and an electronic blackboard system throughout the house where people could leave messages"from their computers on a central computer screen, Mr. Coates recalled by phone from Carmel, Calif., where he now sells homes.
A. Upgrading the computer's central processing unit, orC.P.U.
Computational thinking, a process that allows us to think of complex problems in a way that can be resolved by a computer, is central to the new curriculum.
The town houses have all the standard luxury bells and whistles -- alarm systems, computer wiring, central vacuum and two-car garage with automatic door opener.
To prevent HAL from destroying him, the nondescript protagonist Bowman (Keir Dullea) crawls into the computer's central core and unscrews its modules one by one.
It is used primarily for small amounts of memory called registers in a computer's central processing unit (CPU) and for fast "cache" memory.
The device contained all the arithmetic, logic, and control circuitry required to perform the functions of a computer's central processing unit (CPU).
In reality, the computer's central processing unit (CPU) switched rapidly from user to user while waiting for input or while printing results.
When a computer's central processor accesses its internal memory, it first checks to see if the information it needs is stored in the cache.
