Multi-core Processing
[image] |
|
Definition
| multi-core processor is a single computing component with two or more independent actual CPUs, which are the units that read and execute program instructions. The instructions are ordinary CPU instructions such as add, move data, and branch, but the multiple cores can run multiple instructions at the same time, increasing overall speed for programs amenable to parallel computing |

Definition
| The clock rate of a CPU is normally determined by the frequency of an oscillator crystal. Typically a crystal oscillator produces a fixed sine wave—the frequency reference signal. Electronic circuitry translates that into a square at the same frequency for digital electronics applications |
