Date: December 12th, 2018 1:08 AM Author: Motley Corner Mad Cow Disease There's a big secret in engineering that's revealed to you only if you've spent enough time in advanced electrical engineering courses: MOSFETs and other types of transistors found in processors don't actually behave as described in those circuit diagrams; their behavior is in a hazy state between randomness and determinacy, which can only be poorly approximated with existing mathematical tools. CPU speeds are "heuristic" values that don't actually measure anything, but rather they're based on arbitrary standards without any physical reference. The same is true for memory, storage, etc. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4133518&forum_id=2],#37393660) |

Date: December 12th, 2018 1:41 AM Author: Sienna histrionic market immigrant How is the vibration of the quartz in a CPU heuristic? It's like car RPM, but instead of a 360° turn of the wheels, a cpu clockspeed is it performing one full cycle of fetch-calc-send?
Edit: "To ensure proper operation of the CPU, the clock period is longer than the maximum time needed for all signals to propagate (move) through the CPU. In setting the clock period to a value well above the worst-case propagation delay, it is possible to design the entire CPU and the way it moves data around the "edges" of the rising and falling clock signal. This has the advantage of simplifying the CPU significantly, both from a design perspective and a component-count perspective. However, it also carries the disadvantage that the entire CPU must wait on its slowest elements, even though some portions of it are much faster. This limitation has largely been compensated for by various methods of increasing CPU parallelism"
Is that what you're talking about?

Date: December 12th, 2018 1:59 AM Author: Appetizing Saffron Stage Multi-billionaire utter flame. circuit behavior is non linear sure but the idea that they dont behave as designed is flame (excluding manufacturing/design defects). inverters invert, PLLs generate clock signals, ADC/DAC convert signals etc etc
CPU speeds are rough approximations to indicate speed at which the chip operates. it does mean something. try running latest video games on pentium processors if they dont mean anything |
