What are the factors which determines how many bytes / kilobytes / gigabytes of data a computer can process every second? Are there any equations / formula / rules that can be used to work this out.
phinds said:Big factors are cpu speed, cpu word size, memory speed, bus speed and size, threading capabilities, ALU speed. There are others, depending somewhat on what KIND of processing you are talking about. It's a big subject.
Then my answer stands but now I have to add "amount of I/O processing required"Tabaristiio said:I'm referring to image processing, such as a robot having image processed by its control unit when 'seeing' things through its eyes / visual system (such as through cameras).
The bytes per second (B/s) is a unit of data transfer rate that measures the number of bytes that can be processed or transmitted in one second.
The bytes per second rate for a computer is determined by its processing speed, memory capacity, and network bandwidth. The faster the processor and the more memory a computer has, the higher its bytes per second rate will be. Additionally, the network bandwidth, which is the maximum amount of data that can be transmitted over a network in a given amount of time, also plays a role in determining the bytes per second rate.
The bytes per second rate of a computer can be affected by various factors such as the type of processor, amount of available memory, network congestion, and the type of data being processed. Other factors that can impact the bytes per second rate include the type and speed of storage devices, the efficiency of the computer's operating system, and the complexity of the tasks being performed.
Yes, the bytes per second rate of a computer can be improved by upgrading its hardware components, such as the processor, memory, and storage devices. Additionally, optimizing the computer's operating system and reducing network congestion can also help improve its bytes per second rate. Using more efficient data processing techniques and algorithms can also have a positive impact on the computer's bytes per second rate.
The bytes per second rate is a crucial factor in determining the overall performance of a computer. A higher bytes per second rate means that the computer can process and transfer data at a faster pace, resulting in faster response times and improved performance. On the other hand, a lower bytes per second rate can result in slower processing speeds and longer loading times for tasks and applications.
