MULTICORE TO CLUSTER
Parallel circuits processing, symmetric multiprocessor, or
multiprocessor: in the PC has been used in high end serves and
workstation for some time.
The divide and conquer parallel processing techniques used in
multicore PCs are applied on a much large scale in high end serve
systems
Instead of adding more cores to a CPU, a large system might simply
add more machines to a network
The processing resource of multiple serves can be grouped together
in a cluster.
COMPUTER´S MEMORY
The CPU’s main job is to follow the instructions
encoded in programs, the CPU can handle only one
instruction and a few pieces of data at the time
The computer divides each RAM chip into many
equal-sized memory locations
The central processing unit, is hardware component
that executes the step on a software program
The CPU contains the circuitry to perform a variety of
simple tasks called instructions
All computer programs are composed of instructions
drawn from this tiny vocabulary .
COMPUTER´S MEMORY
The actual execution of an
instruction is performed by
the CPU’s arithmetic logic
unit. The ALU include
registers, each usually 32 or
64 in bits in size.
This unit fetches not
only the next
instruction to execute
but also several sequent
instruction.
The prefetch unit,
instructs the bus unit
into reads the
instructions stored at
the particular memory
address.

How memory works
Memory is the
work area for the
CPU, for the CPU
to execute
instructions or
manipulate data.
These instructions
or data must be
loaded into
memory
RAM may include,
program
instructions,
numbers for
arithmetic, codes
representing text
characters etc…
The CPU can
store information
into RAM and
retrieve
information
RAM chips are
usually grouped
on small circuit
boards called dual
in line memory
modules
Buses,parts and perripherals
A computer
typically has a
variety of ports
to meet diverse
needs: one or
more video
ports of
connecting
monitors,
audios jack, for
connecting
speakers and
headphones

TOMORROW´S COMPUTER
In the early days of the PC,
chip designers empathize
speed because of the
growing appetite for
computer power
Optical computer: which
transmits information in light
waves rather than in
electrical pulses.
Today's cutting edge chips
employ nanotechnology,
technology that approaches
the molecular or atomic
level.
Nanotechnology
breakthroughs may be
stepping stones on the road
to quantum computer:
computers based on the
properties of atoms
THE CLOCK OF THE LONG NOW
The clock’s works consist
of a binary digitalmechanical system which
is so accurate and
revolutionary that we have
patented several of its
elements
Long now added a
“library” dimension with a
realization of need for
content to go along with
the long-term context
provided clock
The point is to explore
whatever may be helpful
for thinking,
understanding, and acting
responsibly over long
period of time
Questions
Do you think the
Long Now Clock is
a good idea? Why
or why not?
Yes, it is easier to use
Can you think of
the other ways to
encourage longterm thinking?
