giống như bạn đã làm. Nhưng bạn nếu những gì cần phải chạy một hệ điều hành trên máy tính của bạn? Hoặc đơn giản chỉ muốn? Dự án này cho bạn thấy các khả năng để chạy một hệ thống điều hành hệ điều hành trên một số khác trên cùng của Windows. Dự án tiếp theo cho bạn thấy làm thế nào để cài đặt | 28 Chapter 1 Identifying Personal Computer Components You can easily identify which component inside the computer is the CPU because it is a large square lying flat on the motherboard with a very large heat sink and fan as shown earlier in Figure . Or if the CPU is installed in a Slot 1 motherboard it is a large hz-inch-thick expansion card with a large heat sink and fan integrated into the package. It is located away from the expansion cards. Figure shows the location of the CPU in relation to the other components on a typical ATX motherboard. Notice how prominent the CPU is. FIGURE The location of a CPU inside a typical computer Modern processors can feature the following Hyperthreading This term refers to Intel s Hyper-Threading Technology HTT . HTT is a form of simultaneous multithreading SMT . SMT takes advantage of a modern CPU s superscalar architecture. Superscalar processors are able to have multiple instructions operating on separate data in parallel. HTT-capable processors appear to the operating system to be two processors. As a result the operating system can schedule two processes at the same time as in the case of symmetric multiprocessing SMP where two or more processors use the same system resources. In fact the operating system must support SMP in order to take advantage of HTT. If the current process stalls because of missing data caused by say cache or branch prediction issues the execution resources of the processor can be reallocated for a different process that is ready to go reducing processor downtime. Multicore A processor that exhibits a multicore architecture has two completely separate processors in the same package. Whether there are multiple dies in the same package or the single Identifying Purposes and Characteristics of Processors 29 4 Real World Scenario What s Your CPU The surest way to determine which CPU your computer is using is to open the case and view the numbers stamped on the CPU which today requires .
