Type of Processors – 1.

Multi core CPU have multiple independent cores that can complete instructions separately which result in a higher performance. Parallel systems accomplish a similar task which instead of requiring multiple cores they can complete tasks with a single core by threading but generally multi core systems perform better in larger projects than parallel systems

RISC Processors CISC Processors Compiler has to do more work to translate high level code into a machine code

Compiler has less work to translate high level code into a machine

More RAM is required to store the code

Less RAM required since code is shorter Pipelining is possible since each instruction takes one clock cycle

Many specialised instructions are made but only 20% are used

RISC- are small instruction set, each instruction is approximately one line of machine code and takes one clock cycle

CISC- there is a larger instruction set and the aim is to try and accomplish tasks in as few lines of assembly code as possible. The instructions are built into the hardware.

Graphic processing unit (GPU) - a graphic processing unit is a device which unlike CPUs has lots of independent processors which work in parallel making it very efficient at completing repetitive tasks such as image processing and machine learning. The GPUs are a type of co-processor designed to supplement the activities of the primary processor

A graphic cards design frees up the main processor to handle other tasks. They have their own RAM and processor. The processor on a graphic card is referred to as a GPU

GPU is designed for a parallel processing.

Multicore- have more than one processor incorporated into a single chip

Parallel processing is when a computer carries out multiple calculations. It split the workload so therefore each task may be processed by any processor so the job is completed more quickly.
