How fast is your computer
- 1. How Fast is Your computer? s1240037 Tomoya Hirota
- 2. Introduction Recent years, computer technology advance Today's computers faster than old computers
- 3. Question Is there a way to measure how fast a computer? Yes!!
- 4. Answer and Attention We can test the speed of a computer But we should know a little more about how a computer works and what it takes to make one faster.
- 5. About computer Computer understand what we want to do through clicks of the mouse, taps on the keyboard etc. We called it input The exact instructions were processed by CPU The CPU store the result in computer’s memory
- 6. Multi tasking Also, Recent computer can multi tasking Therefore, operating system divide CPU’s attention Computer can do the more things at the same time However, the slower it might seem.
- 7. Project and conditions In this project, computer measure the time to need to calculate four difference calculation You will test the speed in each of these operations for four different ways of storing numbers
- 8. We need to know those Benchmarking Inputs Software Central processing unit (CPU) Hardware Memory Multitasking Operating system Data types(Integers, Long Integers, Floating points, Double-precision floating points) Bits
- 9. Correspondence Thereby, people can get useful information Therefore, Programmer develop the program which is executed rapidly But we need to warn it is hard for recent multitask operating system to measure the execution time of any single process
- 10. Main Question Which data type do you predict the test computer will process most quickly? Which do you predict the computer will process most slowly? How do you measure the speed of computer operations? Why are older computers slower than newer ones? When manufacturers sell a computer, they list the "processor speed." What does this mean? Why does it matter how much memory a computer has?
- 11. Materials and Equipment Computer with web browser and Internet access Calculator or spreadsheet program, such as Excel, for analyzing data Lab notebook Graph paper
- 12. Procedure No.1 First, we should do your background research Also, We become to answer the questions from the background section Create a data table, like this picture, in your lab notebook or spreadsheet program
- 13. Procedure No.2 Use the web page to measure the execution time for each of the mathematical operations using each of the data types
- 14. Procedure No.3 Calculate the average processing time for each combination Make four bar graphs to examine if the amount of time the computer needed to do a single type of mathematical operation changes with different data types
- 15. At last In this way, we can measure how fast a computer If we measure how fast a computer, we can live a comfortable PC life
