System Clock
It indicates the number of cycles a processor can execute
per second..
Factors to the clock cycle that synchronizes all computer operations
determine (by increasing clock speed, the processing speed of
the the computer is also increased)
the typical current value is 3.5 GHz , means 3.5
PERFORM billion clock cycles a second
First the CPU checks the Cache, if
ANCE OF 2. Cache data not found then move to RAM

CPU - temporary memory


- to extend RAM we use cache
- located in CPU itself
- stores frequently used instruction
- larger the cache size better will the performance
3. Width of data bus
- amount of data transferred
- increase in bus width -> increase in CPU
performance and speed
4. Overclocking
clock speed change BIOS – Basic input/output
systems
leads to serious overheating of CPU leading to
unreliable performance
More overclocking – less CPU performance
5. Core
made up of ALU, CU, registers
A core is a single processing unit within a
computer's Central Processing Unit (CPU)
Modern CPUs often contain multiple cores, allowing
them to handle multiple tasks simultaneously for
improved performance.
multiple cores enhance CPU performance by
enabling parallelism,
improving multitasking, and optimizing
processing for multithreaded software.
However, the actual performance gains depend
on how well the software is designed to utilize
the extra cores.

Definition:
An embedded system is a computer system designed to perform a
specific, dedicated task within
a larger mechanical or electrical system.
Purpose:
Embedded systems are used to control, monitor, or assist the
operation of machinery, equipment, or devices.
Characteristics:
Dedicated Functionality: Designed for specific tasks.
Real-Time Processing: Often required to perform tasks within
strict time constraints.
Resource-Constrained: Operates with limited memory,
power, and processing capacity.
Reliability: Must operate continuously and reliably in various
environments.
Compact and Cost-Effective: Small in size and economically
feasible.
