  2. Performance per watt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Performance_per_watt

    The red crosses denote the most power efficient computer, while the blue ones denote the computer ranked#500. FLOPS per watt is a common measure. Like the FLOPS ( Floating Point Operations Per Second) metric it is based on, the metric is usually applied to scientific computing and simulations involving many floating point calculations.

    1.12×10 36: Estimated computational power of a Matrioshka brain, assuming 1.87×10 26 watt power produced by solar panels and 6 GFLOPS/watt efficiency. [ 21 ] 4×10 48 : Estimated computational power of a Matrioshka brain whose power source is the Sun , the outermost layer operates at 10 kelvins , and the constituent parts operate at or near ...

  4. Run-time estimation of system and sub-system level power ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Run-time_estimation_of...

    Electronic systems’ power consumption has been a real challenge for Hardware and Software designers as well as users especially in portable devices like cell phones and laptop computers. Power consumption also has been an issue for many industries that use computer systems heavily such as Internet service providers using servers or companies ...

  5. PowerTOP - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerTOP

    PowerTOP is a software utility designed to measure, explain and minimise a computer's electrical power consumption. [1] It was released by Intel in 2007 under the GPLv 2 license. It works for Intel , AMD , ARM and UltraSPARC processors.

  6. Power supply unit (computer) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_supply_unit_(computer)

    The system power consumption is a sum of the power ratings for all of the components of the computer system that draw on the power supply. Some graphics cards (especially multiple cards) and large groups of hard drives can place very heavy demands on the 12 V lines of the PSU, and for these loads, the PSU's 12 V rating is crucial.

  7. Computer performance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_performance

    In computing, computer performance is the amount of useful work accomplished by a computer system. Outside of specific contexts, computer performance is estimated in terms of accuracy, efficiency and speed of executing computer program instructions. When it comes to high computer performance, one or more of the following factors might be involved:

  8. Desktop computer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desktop_computer

    Another advantage of the desktop is that (apart from environmental concerns) power consumption is not as critical as in laptop computers because the desktop is exclusively powered from the wall socket. Desktop computers also provide more space for cooling fans and vents to dissipate heat, allowing enthusiasts to overclock with less risk.

  9. Processor power dissipation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Processor_power_dissipation

    Processor manufacturers usually release two power consumption numbers for a CPU: typical thermal power, which is measured under normal load (for instance, AMD's average CPU power) maximum thermal power, which is measured under a worst-case load; For example, the Pentium 4 2.8 GHz has a 68.4 W typical thermal power and 85 W maximum thermal power.
