Vector Processing in Computer Organization

Vector processing in computer organization, also known as vector computing or vectorization, is a type of parallel processing in computing where multiple data elements are processed simultaneously. In contrast to scalar processing, which operates on one data element at a time, vector processing involves performing the same operation on a set of data elements, typically […]

Microprocessor Vs Microcontroller

Microprocessor and microcontroller are two different kinds of processors designed for different systems. A microprocessor is specially designed to fit into the computer systems. However, if we talk about the microcontroller, it is specially designed to fit into the embedded systems. Microprocessors only have the processor circuity on a single chip. On the other hand, […]

Flash Memory in Computer

Flash memory in a computer is a non-volatile memory. Flash memory was built with a similar approach as that of EEPROM. Like EEPROM it is possible to read the contents of a single cell of the flash memory. But, unlike EEROM it is possible to write the entire block of the flash memory. but before […]

What is Solid State Drive?

A Solid State Drive (SSD) is a modern storage device. The storage is non-volatile in nature thus it retains data even if the power is off. As the name suggests solid state drive, the drive does not contain any moving mechanical parts like HDD. SSD makes use of flash memory and is capable of accessing […]

Motherboard of Computer

The motherboard of a computer is the core of the computer. It is the printed circuit board (PCB) on which other important components that are essential for the working of the system are mounted. The motherboard provides connectivity to these components and is also responsible for providing power to them. The motherboard size varies according […]

Registers in Computer

Registers in computer are the fast storage devices present in the processor. However, it is a small storage device that can hold only one word of data. The one-word data is a standard data unit. In most the computer it is an 8-bit word i.e., a byte. A processor does not contain only one register […]

Structure and Function of Computer

The structure and function of the computer depict how the components of the computer are assembled, how they are interrelated to each other and what operations these components perform. Being a complex system, the computer contains millions of electronic components. To understand the structure and function better we organize these electronic elements in a hierarchical […]

Microcomputer

A microcomputer is an electronic device that is designed for individual use. The processor of a microcomputer is designed with an integrated circuit on a single semiconductor chip. Today we will be learning more about the microcomputer, its application, types advantages, and disadvantage. Microcomputer: What is Micro Computer? Applications of Micro Computer History of Micro […]

Types of Computers

The types of computers can be determined in many ways i.e. you can classify computers on various parameters. Such as on the basis of its use, on the basis of its size, on the basis of its functions, on the basis of its data handling capabilities. Types of Computers Classify by Generation Classify by Size […]

Types of Printers

A printer is an output device that is attached to the computer. The printer takes the input in the form of text and graphics and transfers this information onto the paper. In this way, it transfers the digital information into a hard copy. There are different types of printers available in the market. Printers accept […]
