  2. Amdahl's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amdahl's_law

    Then we are told that the 1st part is not sped up, so s1 = 1, while the 2nd part is sped up 5 times, so s2 = 5, the 3rd part is sped up 20 times, so s3 = 20, and the 4th part is sped up 1.6 times, so s4 = 1.6. By using Amdahl's law, the overall speedup is

  3. Frequency scaling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_scaling

    In computer architecture, frequency scaling (also known as frequency ramping) is the technique of increasing a processor's frequency so as to enhance the performance of the system containing the processor in question. Frequency ramping was the dominant force in commodity processor performance increases from the mid-1980s until roughly the end ...

  4. Advanced Vector Extensions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Vector_Extensions

    Some Intel processors have provisions to reduce the Turbo Boost frequency limit when such instructions are being executed. This reduction happens even if the CPU hasn't reached its thermal and power consumption limits. On Skylake and its derivatives, the throttling is divided into three levels: [66] [67] L0 (100%): The normal turbo boost limit.

  5. Intel 8085 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_8085

    The Intel 8085 ("eighty-eighty-five") is an 8-bit microprocessor produced by Intel and introduced in March 1976. [2] It is the last 8-bit microprocessor developed by Intel. It is software-binary compatible with the more-famous Intel 8080 with only two minor instructions added to support its added interrupt and serial input/output features.

  6. Noisy-channel coding theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noisy-channel_coding_theorem

    In information theory, the noisy-channel coding theorem (sometimes Shannon's theorem or Shannon's limit), establishes that for any given degree of noise contamination of a communication channel, it is possible (in theory) to communicate discrete data (digital information) nearly error-free up to a computable maximum rate through the channel.

  7. Droop speed control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Droop_speed_control

    Droop speed control is a control mode used for AC electrical power generators, whereby the power output of a generator reduces as the line frequency increases. It is commonly used as the speed control mode of the governor of a prime mover driving a synchronous generator connected to an electrical grid.

  8. Manchester code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchester_code

    [3] Manchester encoding introduces difficult frequency-related problems that make it unsuitable for use at higher data rates. [3] [4] There are more complex codes, such as 8B/10B encoding, that use less bandwidth to achieve the same data rate but may be less tolerant of frequency errors and jitter in the transmitter and receiver reference clocks.

  9. Cutoff frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutoff_frequency

    The cutoff frequency is the critical frequency between propagation and attenuation, which corresponds to the frequency at which the longitudinal wavenumber is zero. It is given by ω c = c ( n π a ) 2 + ( m π b ) 2 {\displaystyle \omega _{c}=c{\sqrt {\left({\frac {n\pi }{a}}\right)^{2}+\left({\frac {m\pi }{b}}\right)^{2}}}} The wave equations ...
