I have read this post however I still have a question. I understand that saying 32 bit processor implies registers of size 32 bit long each of which can hold up to 2^32 data. My question goes little bit further. So during the execution cycle, how does 32bit register span into the main memory? In order word, does it mean that each register can deal with 2^32 memory addresses so that any instruction in this region can be fetched in one clock cycle? Let's block ads! بخوانید...

I've been following this article (http://www.silentpcreview.com/article1498-page1.html). I'm new to most of it. I assume it is not an issue because Scythe Mugen is highly rated...I'm wondering how a heat-sink that weighs 650 grams attached to the motherboard will effect the board on the long run? Specially if the motherboard is vertical... Let's block ads! بخوانید...

My CPU has 18 cores, and, due to hyperthreading, 36 logical processors. However, VMware player's highest option in settings is a 16 processor virtual machine. Is there a reason for this? I have tried Googling, but have been able to find no answer. This is frustrating, as I would like to bring all my computational resources to bear. I am on a Windows 10 host, using VMware Workstation 12 player to virtualize Ubuntu 16.04, and I have a Xeon E5-2697 v4. Let's block ads! (Why?)...

I know pretty well what happens when it is ruing and when is blocked, but the behaviour when the process is in the ready queue is something unknown for me. Thank you for the time....

recently i coected a second hard drive to my laptop. after that system and compressed memory started eating 50% of the CPU. so i removed new hard drive and it became normal. how to solve this issue , thank you....

I'm on a Linux Fedora 23 and I recently noticed that my gnome-shell process constantly uses 100% of one CPU (reported by htop, no visible applications ruing). There are some hints out there which cover some workarounds for bugs in the gnome-shell (deactivating background logo, re-aligning the monitors) but none of them help. I tried to run perf top which reports the most work in the following symbols: 22.55% [keel] [k] acpi_ns_search_one_scope 11.41% [keel] [k] acpi_ex_system_memory_space_h 5.27% [keel] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave 5.23% [keel] [k] _raw_write_unlock_irqrestore 3.52% [keel] [k] acpi_ut_update_object_referen ... Then I tried to closer look into the gnome-shell process with perf ...
