CPU problems



    Are there any problems that the CPU faces? Have any measures been taken to make it more efficient?



    Although the CPU needs only a few parts to do its job, it has been modified to 
    increase its performance. The enhancements are made in order to process data faster. 

    - One of the weaknesses of the basic CPU was that it was not doing any processing during the time that it fetches an instruction from the computer memory. 
    To reduce this, a memory storage area was created inside the CPU called Cache or 
    L1 type Cache. The Cache is very fast, and is used to store information that the CPU 
    needed to access the most. Level 2 Cache was also developed.

    - Now that the CPU has to wait much less for the data to be processed, the speed at which the data can be processed had to be enhanced. To do this, multiple ALUs 
    (Arithmetic Logic Unit ) were placed on the CPU, so that many more calculation was done each clock cycle.

    - In addition, the FPU (Floating Point Unit) was added. The FPU is similar to the ALU, except that it is more advanced. It can handle extremely large and extremely small numbers, allowing greater processing speeds. Also, it can simultaneously process multiple graphics and sounds at a time.

    Work certified and uncertified

    Meaning of Work Certified  When contractor takes the contract to complete any construction work, it may complete in 4 or 5 years. but contractor has to pay different expenses for material, labor and others.

    Sale of Goods Act- Conditions and Warranties

    Image
    The Sale of Goods Act, identifies the terms, ‘Conditions’ and ‘Warranties’ as being of a prime significance in a contract of sale. Both the terms imply a promise that is made by the seller. However, the difference between Conditions and Warranties arises due to the nature of the promise that is made in each case. In the case of ‘Condition’ the impact is on the very essence of the contract; whereas, in the case of ‘Warranty’, the promise is in the nature of a collateral to the main purpose of the contract. It is thus evident that if there is a breach of either, a condition or a warranty, the effects will be different. Illustration 1:   Sita bought a wet grinder from an electric shop. The purpose for which the grinder was to be used was known to the seller. The grinder was unfit for the purpose. In this case there is a breach of an express condition by the electric shop and Sita is entitled to return the grinder and be refunded the money paid. Illustration 2:   Varuna bought a
