  2. 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. A ...

  3. Wait state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wait_state

    Even memory, the fastest of these, cannot supply data as fast as the CPU could process it. In an example from 2011, typical PC processors like the Intel Core 2 and the AMD Athlon 64 X2 run with a clock of several GHz , which means that one clock cycle is less than 1 nanosecond (typically about 0.3 ns to 0.5 ns on modern desktop CPUs), while ...

  4. Thermal design power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_design_power

    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 ...

  5. Load (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_(computing)

    [1] [2] [3] An idle computer has a load number of 0 (the idle process is not counted). Each process using or waiting for CPU (the ready queue or run queue) increments the load number by 1. Each process that terminates decrements it by 1. Most UNIX systems count only processes in the running (on CPU) or runnable (waiting for CPU) states.

  8. Dynamic voltage scaling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_voltage_scaling

    The 167-processor AsAP 2 chip enables individual processors to make extremely fast (on the order of 1-2ns) and locally controlled changes to their own supply voltages. Processors connect their local power grid to either a higher (VddHi) or lower (VddLow) supply voltage, or can be cut off entirely from either grid to dramatically cut leakage power.
