ThroughputDefinition:
Kemampuan microprocessor melakukan tugas yang diberikan untuk proses komputasi dan pengolahan data secara penuh selama periode waktu tertentu
Depends on:Buses – size of circuitry paths that interconnect microprocessor componentsRegisters – that process instructionsCache – high-speed memorySpecialized Processors
Computer Peripherals
Definition:Nama umum yang diberikan untuk semua perangkat input, output dan storage yang merupakan suatu bagian dari sistem komputer yang bukan bagian dari CPU.
Online vs. Offline
Online – devices are separate from but can be electronically connected to and controlled by a CPU
Offline – devices are separate from and not under the control of the CPU

Pointing Devices
Electronic Mouse – Moving mouse on pad moves cursor on screen. Pressing buttons on mouse activates activities represented by selected icons.Trackball – Stationary device with a roller ball on top used to move cursor on screen.Pointing Stick – Small button-like device which moves cursor in direction of pressure placed on stick.
Pointing Devices
Touchpad – Small rectangular touch-sensitive surface which moves the cursor in the direction of finger moves on the pad.
Touch Screen – Video display screen that emits a grid of infrared beams, sound waves, or a slight electric current that is broken when the screen is touched.
Pen-based ComputingDefinition:
Pressure-sensitive layer under slate-like liquid crystal display screen and software that digitizes handwriting, hand printing, and hand drawing
Speech Recognition Systems
Discrete – user must pause between each spoken word
Continuous – software can recognize conversationally-paced speech
Optical Scanning
Definition:Devices that read text or graphics and convert them into digital input for your computer
Optical Character Recognition (OCR)Definition:
The machine identification of printed characters through the use of light-sensitive devices
Digital Sculpture
To record and archive the morphological features of heritage artifacts from the past culture
Other Input Technologies
Magnetic Stripe – devices that read data stored in the magnetic stripe on the back of cards
Smart Cards – devices that read a microprocessor chip embedded in a card
Other Input Technologies
Digital cameras – devices that allow you to capture, store, and download still photos and full motion pictures
Magnetic Ink Recognition (MICR) –devices that can read characters printed on source documents with an iron oxide-based ink
Video Output
Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) – similar to vacuum tubes in television
Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) – electronic visual displays that form characters by applying an electrical charge to selected silicon crystals
Printed Output
Inkjet Printers – spray ink onto the page
Laser Printers – use an electrostatic process similar to a photocopying machine
Binary Representation
Definition:Data are processed and stored in a computer system through the presence or absence of electronic or magnetic signals in the computer’s circuitry or in the media it uses
Bit vs. Byte
Bit – binary digit, which can have a value of either zero or one
Byte – basic grouping of bits that the computer operates as a single unit, typically eight bits
Storage Capacities
Kilobyte (KB) – one thousand bytesMegabytes (MB) – one million bytesGigabytes (GB) – one billion bytesTerabytes (TB) – one trillion bytesPetabytes (PB) – one quadrillion bytes
Binary Number System
Definition:Number system used by computers to perform computations since it has only two digits
Direct vs. Sequential AccessDirect (or Random) Access – Each storage position has a unique address. Each storage position can be individually accessed without having to search through other storage positions.Sequential Access – Data are recorded one after another in a predetermined sequence. Locating an individual item of data requires searching the recorded data until the desired item is located.
Semiconductor Memory
Characteristics:SmallFastShock ResistantTemperature ResistantVolatile – contents of memory is lost when power is interruptedUsed for Primary Storage
RAM vs. ROM
Random Access Memory (RAM) – each memory position can be both sensed and changed
Read Only Memory (ROM) – can be read but not erased or overwritten
Firmware
Definition:Frequently used programs which are permanently burned into ROM during manufacture
Types of Magnetic Disks
Floppy Disks – single disk inside a protective jacket
Hard Disk Drives – several disks, access arms and read/write heads in a sealed module
Redundant Arrays of Independent Disks (RAID) - disk arrays of interconnected microcomputer hard disk drives
Magnetic Tape
Definition:Read/write heads of magnetic tape drives record data in the form of magnetized spots on the iron oxide coating of the plastic tape
