  2. Overclocking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overclocking

    The purpose of overclocking is to increase the operating speed of a given component. [3] Normally, on modern systems, the target of overclocking is increasing the performance of a major chip or subsystem, such as the main processor or graphics controller, but other components, such as system memory or system buses (generally on the motherboard), are commonly involved.

  3. Memory leak - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_leak

    For example: if the elevator's power were turned off or in a power outage, the program would stop running. When power was turned on again, the program would restart and all the memory would be available again, but the slow process of memory leak would restart together with the program, eventually prejudicing the correct running of the system.

  4. Uptime - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uptime

    The first number is the total number of seconds the system has been up. The second number is how much of that time the machine has spent idle, in seconds. [16] On multi-core systems (and some Linux versions) the second number is the sum of the idle time accumulated by each CPU. [17]

  5. Performance per watt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Performance_per_watt

    System designers building parallel computers, such as Google's hardware, pick CPUs based on their performance per watt of power, because the cost of powering the CPU outweighs the cost of the CPU itself. [2] Spaceflight computers have hard limits on the maximum power available and also have hard requirements on minimum real-time performance.

  6. Moore's law - Wikipedia

    Finally, to keep electric field constant, voltage would be reduced by 30%, reducing energy by 65% and power (at 1.4× frequency) by 50%. [ c ] Therefore, in every technology generation transistor density would double, circuit becomes 40% faster, while power consumption (with twice the number of transistors) stays the same. [ 141 ]
