ProcDump is a command-line application used for monitoring an application for CPU spikes and creating crash dumps during a spike. [2] [3] The crash dumps can then be used by an administrator or software developer to determine the cause of the spike.
Voltage spikes, also known as surges, may be created by a rapid buildup or decay of a magnetic field, which may induce energy into the associated circuit. However voltage spikes can also have more mundane causes such as a fault in a transformer or higher-voltage (primary circuit) power wires falling onto lower-voltage (secondary circuit) power ...
Voltage spike. In electrical engineering, overvoltage is the raising of voltage beyond the design limit of a circuit or circuit element. The conditions may be hazardous. Depending on its duration, the overvoltage event can be transient—a voltage spike—or permanent, leading to a power surge.
The dynamic power (switching power) dissipated by a chip is C·V 2 ·A·f, where C is the capacitance being switched per clock cycle, V is voltage, A is the Activity Factor [1] indicating the average number of switching events per clock cycle by the transistors in the chip (as a unitless quantity) and f is the clock frequency.
If the disturbance is large enough, a digital signal can change from a 0 to a 1 or vice versa. In combinational logic , this effect is transient, perhaps lasting a fraction of a nanosecond, and this has led to the challenge of soft errors in combinational logic mostly going unnoticed.
The dynamic power consumed by a CPU is approximately proportional to the CPU frequency, and to the square of the CPU voltage: [5] = where C is the switched load capacitance, f is frequency, V is voltage. [6] When logic gates toggle, some transistors inside may change states.
Small-cap resurgence. Small caps were one of the beneficiaries of the post-Trump election rally. The Russell 2000 small-cap index jumped more than 5% on Wednesday for its best day in nearly two years.
If certain sub-systems fail, or are taking too long to respond, or are consuming too much power, the chip can instantly change its behavior by blowing an eFUSE. [ 3 ] [ 5 ] [ 6 ] Today, most eFuses are used to etch serialization or calibration data onto a chip thus making it a read-only value.
