Week 3 Discussion
"CPUs and Programming" Please respond to the following:
•
From the first e-Activity, identify the following CPUs: 1)
the CPU that resides on a computer that you own or a computer
that you would consider purchasing, and 2) the CPU of one (1)
other computer. Compare the instruction sets and clock rates of
each CPU. Determine which CPU of the two is faster and why.
Conclude whether or not the clock rate by itself makes the CPU
faster. Provide a rationale for your response.
•
From the second e-Activity, examine two (2) benefits of
using planning techniques—such as writing program flowcharts,
pseudocode, or other available programming planning
technique—to devise and design computer programs. Evaluate
the effectiveness of your preferred program planning technique,
based on its success in the real world. Provide one (1) example of
a real-life application of your preferred program planning
technique to support your response.
