For example, one can interpret a load average of "1.73 0.60 7.98" on a single-CPU system as: During the last minute, the system was overloaded by 73% on average (1.73 runnable processes, so that 0.73 processes had to wait for a turn for a single CPU system on average). During the last 5 minutes, the CPU was idling 40% of the time, on average.
Conceptually, it is similar to preemptive multitasking used in operating systems; an analogy would be that the time slice given to each active thread is one CPU cycle. For example: Cycle i + 1: an instruction from thread B is issued. Cycle i + 2: an instruction from thread C is issued.
The SX-9 features the first CPU capable of a peak vector performance of 102.4 gigaFLOPS per single core. On February 4, 2008, the NSF and the University of Texas at Austin opened full scale research runs on an AMD , Sun supercomputer named Ranger , [ 44 ] the most powerful supercomputing system in the world for open science research, which ...

A graphical demo running as a benchmark of the OGRE engine. In computing, a benchmark is the act of running a computer program, a set of programs, or other operations, in order to assess the relative performance of an object, normally by running a number of standard tests and trials against it.
The Intel 80286 [4] (also marketed as the iAPX 286 [5] and often called Intel 286) is a 16-bit microprocessor that was introduced on February 1, 1982. It was the first 8086-based CPU with separate, non-multiplexed address and data buses and also the first with memory management and wide protection abilities.

The average CPU power (ACP) is the power consumption of central processing units, especially server processors, under "average" daily usage as defined by Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) for use in its line of processors based on the K10 microarchitecture (Opteron 8300 and 2300 series processors). Intel's thermal design power (TDP), used for ...
