  2. Clock rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clock_rate

    Set in 2011, the Guinness World Record for the highest CPU clock rate is 8.42938 GHz with an overclocked AMD FX-8150 Bulldozer-based chip in an LHe/LN2 cryobath, 5 GHz on air. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] This is surpassed by the CPU-Z overclocking record for the highest CPU clock rate at 8.79433 GHz with an AMD FX-8350 Piledriver -based chip bathed in LN2 ...

  3. Overclocking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overclocking

    The purpose of overclocking is to increase the operating speed of a given component. [3] Normally, on modern systems, the target of overclocking is increasing the performance of a major chip or subsystem, such as the main processor or graphics controller, but other components, such as system memory or system buses (generally on the motherboard), are commonly involved.

  4. Instructions per cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instructions_per_cycle

    The final result comes from dividing the number of instructions by the number of CPU clock cycles. The number of instructions per second and floating point operations per second for a processor can be derived by multiplying the number of instructions per cycle with the clock rate (cycles per second given in Hertz) of the processor in question ...

  5. AVX-512 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVX-512

    On some processors (mostly pre-Ice Lake Intel), AVX-512 instructions can cause a frequency throttling even greater than its predecessors, causing a penalty for mixed workloads. The additional downclocking is triggered by the 512-bit width of vectors and depends on the nature of instructions being executed; using the 128 or 256-bit part of AVX ...

  6. CPU time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPU_time

    CPU time (or process time) is the amount of time that a central processing unit (CPU) was used for processing instructions of a computer program or operating system. CPU time is measured in clock ticks or seconds. Sometimes it is useful to convert CPU time into a percentage of the CPU capacity, giving the CPU usage.

  7. Floating point operations per second - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating_point_operations...

    The 80-core chip can raise this result to 2 teraFLOPS at 6.26 GHz, although the thermal dissipation at this frequency exceeds 190 watts. [40] In June 2007, Top500.org reported the fastest computer in the world to be the IBM Blue Gene/L supercomputer, measuring a peak of 596 teraFLOPS. [41] The Cray XT4 hit second place with 101.7 teraFLOPS.

  8. CPU multiplier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPU_multiplier

    In computing, the clock multiplier (or CPU multiplier or bus/core ratio) sets the ratio of an internal CPU clock rate to the externally supplied clock. This may be implemented with phase-locked loop (PLL) frequency multiplier circuitry. A CPU with a 10x multiplier will thus see 10 internal cycles for every external clock cycle. For example, a ...

  9. Instructions per second - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instructions_per_second

    The first PC compiler was for BASIC (1982) when a 4.8 MHz 8088/87 CPU obtained 0.01 MWIPS. Results on a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (1 CPU 2007) vary from 9.7 MWIPS using BASIC Interpreter, 59 MWIPS via BASIC Compiler, 347 MWIPS using 1987 Fortran, 1,534 MWIPS through HTML/Java to 2,403 MWIPS using a modern C / C++ compiler.
