This document discusses how computers process data. It defines data as raw facts and information as meaningful data. Computers represent data using binary numbers for simplicity and accuracy. The CPU, which contains the control unit and arithmetic logic unit, processes data. Memory, including RAM and ROM, is also required for processing. RAM is faster but volatile, while ROM is permanent but cannot be programmed. Processing speed depends on factors like the CPU model, clock speed, and amount of RAM. The major CPU manufacturers are Intel, Motorola, AMD, and Cyrix.
Report on evolution of processor by sandesh agrawalSandesh Agrawal
a best place to the beginners n seekers n for those which are very keen to learn on the topic - processor & automation.
The brain or engine of the PC is the processor (sometimes called microprocessor), or central processing unit (CPU). The CPU performs the system’s calculating and processing. The processor is easily the most expensive single component in the system, costing up to four or more times greater than the motherboard it plugs into. Intel is generally credited with creating the first microprocessor in 1971 with the introduction of a chip called the 4004. Today Intel still has control over the processor market, at least for PC systems. This means that all PC-compatible systems use either Intel processors or Intel-compatible processors from a handful of competitors (such as AMD or Cyrix).
Presentation for a lecture in the doctoral series at Stefan cel Mare University, Suceava, Romania, May 2009.
Aim was to show current generation the rich history of computer hardarware and that many of the recent innovations in CPU design have their origins in designs of teh 50s and 60s.
an integrated circuit that contains all the functions of a central processing unit of a computer.
In a computer system, the microprocessor is the central unit that executes and manages the logical instructions passed to it.
A microprocessor may also be called a processor or central processing unit, but it is actually more advanced in terms of architectural design and is built over a silicon microchip.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

(Processed Data)
11. Computers represent data with electrical switches.
= 1
= 0
On-off circuits are simple
and are not prone to errors.
0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0
One byte is made up of 8 bits.
(binary 01001000 = decimal 72)
(ASCII 01001000 = the letter “H”)
12. Computer parts communicate using binary numbers.
The greater the number of bits moved at
one time, the faster the processing speed.
Note: Two concepts: Serial and Parallel
13. Text Codes:
EBCDIC “EB-si-dic”
- (Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code)
ASCII “As-key”
- (American Standard Code for Information Interchange)
Unicode
- (Unicode Worldwide Character Standard)
14. CPU (Central Processing Unit) - the
brain of the computer
Two parts:
• CU (Control Unit)
• ALU (Arithmetic/Logic Unit)
15. Control Unit - Controls the flow
of data into and from the Central
Processing Unit.
18. Types of Memory:
ROM - Read Only Memory
(contains the basic input output
system or BIOS)
RAM - Random Access Memory
(user programs and data go here)
19. The ROM is nonvolatile because it will not
loose its contents when powered OFF
RAM plugs into sockets on the motherboard.

Today is the 6th Generation of
Core technology
25. The Pentium II has 7.5 million
transistors, more than double
the number included on the
original Pentium chip. It
can operate from 233 MHz to
400 MHz and beyond.
About MHz: the faster
the clock, the faster the
processing speed.
(1 MHz = 1 million clock
cycles per second)
