The CPU
1. What is the function of the CPU?
Also known as the Central Processing Unit or microprocessor ,is constructed on a single chip and is the heart of any normal computer and processes information of a computer program.
2. What was the name of the first CPU?
The Intel 4004,
3. Referring to the graph on page 2 of the article, describe how the speed of CPU’s has changed.
4. What does MIPS measure?
This stands for "millions of instructions per second" and it measures an approximate performance of the CPU.
DUAL CORE PROCESSORS
Intel Atom Processor

2. What was the name of the first CPU?
The Intel 4004,
3. Referring to the graph on page 2 of the article, describe how the speed of CPU’s has changed.
From the first year which the first CPU Intel 8080,was introduced the speed was 2 MHz which only carried a small amount of data of 8 bits. In the next 11 years a progress has been made in the technology. Intel 80386 was introduced and it contained a speed of 16 MHz which was 8 times faster than the Intel 8080. It carried 32 bits amount of data which is four times larger than intel 8080 CPU. As the years pass the clock speed increases which each new CPU. From the Intel 80386 CPU's speed of 16 MHz in the year 1985 to about 3.6 GHz in 2004 with the CPU called Pentium 4 "Prescott" . As we can see this is a great increase in the clock speed. After 1989 CPU's could carry as much data as 32 bits,64-bit bus.
4. What does MIPS measure?
This stands for "millions of instructions per second" and it measures an approximate performance of the CPU.
DUAL CORE PROCESSORS
1.
What is a dual core processor?
A Dual Core Processor is a CPU with two separate cores on the same die, each with its own cache. It's the equivalent of getting two microprocessors in one. and is nearly twice as powerful as a single core processor.
What is multitasking and how do the two work together?
With current multitasking, a processor can only handle a single thread at a time, so the system rapidly switches between the threads to process the data simultaneously. A tread is a single stream of data which travels through the processor in the system. The Dual core processor system can handle more than one thread allowing it to be able to multi task and each processor can handle a separate stream of data allowing it to perform faster.
Benefits
- Power Efficient
- small and compact
- powerful yet energy-efficient
- faster (better response)
- memory graphic and video controller
- thin, innovative form factors

StoryBoard! :)
This is our Story Board for the Task. You can cklick onto it to get a more clear view of the images.
Script!!
THE ACT OF BULLYING (the song "no air")
Bullies walk up to the camera (threatening song)
Establishing shot of the school
Pan to the bullies (eerie music plays) then to victim.
Low angle shot of bullies talking
BULLY1: Listen to us you little punk, we're gonna take your damn diary [takes diary], we're gonna break it [Breaks it]
BULLY2: [Takes the broken piece]...and there's nothing you can do about it. If you say a word to anyone, you're dead!
BULLY1: and we don't wanna see you in our spot again.

BULLY1: Yeah man [slams the other part]
[They start pushing the victim]
BULLY1: Come back here! Where do you think you're going? HUh? HUh? HUh?
[They push the victim down on the floor]
BULLY2: We don't wanna see you mess with us again!
BULLY1: Yeah! And stay there...
BULLY2: Yeah...
[Bullies walk away. victim is left crying and walks away too]

BULLY2: I don't get this man!
BULLY1: uh... yeah... uh...
BULLY2: How can you do this man? CONGRUENCE?
BULLY1: Uh... I think you're meant to flip that thing over-
BULLY2: I don’t know!!
[Camera pans to victim again then pans back to bullies with a cunning smile]
[Bullies walk up to the victim]
BULLY2: You have to do it! Alright?
BULLY1: And you better get it right!
BULLY2: Yeah... If we get this wrong, if we get a zero , you're dead!
BULLY1: You take this and get it done!
[Bullies walk away]
[Victim works hard on it and gets bullied again. This sequence is fast forwarded as the consequence is obvious]
HOST: May teenagers fall victim to bullying. It may not be visible but it is happening. and what you just saw was the effect of bullying.
HOST: Here is a way to be assertive.
Establishing shot of IST classroom
[Victim walks up and finds a "BULLYING NO WAY CARD"]
VICTIM: Bullying no way? www.bullyingnoway.com? Let me go try that.
{The research continues}
[Shot of the computer]
[Shot of victim reading]
[Victim looking at leaves outside the library and sees approaching bullies]
VICTIM: Stop! I won't take this anymore. I've had enough!
[Confused bullies, backing away]
BULLY1: Ok man, what is wrong with you??
BULLY2: Yeah right, we outta here.

Intro to Video!
we formed the groups for our term 2 assessment task ........
The members of my group are Priyanka, Tapiwa, Simran.
Our group name is FIRE.
We were informed by sir that the video had to be instructional .We are doing a video which will be based on bulling an dhow you can overcome bullying. We chose bullying because it is something that is present in today's society.
INTRODUCTION TO VIDEO
1. The video format we will be using this term is Digital Video, what is the other, older format that was used recently.
Before Digital Video, there was Analog Video.
2. Describe the difference between the two formats.
Analog video is a video transmitted to an analog signal by the air or a cable. The value of the signal can, at any given time can, be anywhere between the minimum and maximum allowed. However, digital signals are transmitted as precise points.
3. What are some advantages of digital video
The advantages of digital video are that instead of losing its quality after being copied, it is a perfect copy, with the same quality. Also, it is easier to transfer a digital video than to import an analog video.
4. What is meant by frame rate in video
Frame rate refers to the number of images shown per second.
5. Do all applications use the same frame rate, explain your answer.
Not all applications use the same frame rate; it depends on the subject matter of the video. If the subject is moving quickly, more frames are needed per second to make a clear view of the subject.
6. What is meant by resolution, how is it measured.
Resolution is represented by the number of pixels that are shown on the screen. It is shown by the number of horizontal pixels times the number of vertical pixels.
7. What is the colour system called RGB
The system RGB stands for the red, green and blue aspects of a colour.
8. Explain the video standards PAL, NTSC, and SECAM, what are the main differences between them.
These three television standards are used around the world. PAL is used in Australia, China, South America and most of Europe and uses 25 frames per second and 625 horizontal lines. NTSC is used in USA, Canada, Japan, Korea and Mexico and uses the highest frame rate of 29.97 frames per second. However, it has the lowest resolution with 525 horizontal lines. SECAM is used in France, Middle East and much of Asia and is only used for broadcasting. It has a frame rate of 25 frames per second and 625 horizontal lines, as with PAL.
9. Which standard do we use in Australia?
PAL
10. For what type of video camera would you need to have a Video Capture Card in your computer to download video?
When using an analog video camera or other analog source material, the video needs to be changed to digital for a computer to be able to understand it so a video capture card is needed.
11. Why don’t we need a video capture card for the video we will be doing at school.
The type of camera is digital so a video capture card isn’t needed as it is already a digital video.
12. What is an IEEE 1394 port?
Enables the transfer of a digital video to a computer.
13. Why do digital video cameras use video compression
Digital video uses compression to be able to save time and space. The amount of time it takes for a video to transfer from the internet to a computer or even from a hard drive to be viewed on a computer is lengthened with the size of the file. If the file is too big, it’ll take a very long time to load. Also, the amount of space taken up by the file can limit the amount of files able to be placed on the device.
14. Describe what a codec is.
A codec is a device found in hardware that deals with the compression and decompression of files.
15. What is meant by generation loss, where does it happen?
Generation loss is the data lost from a video. This happens when an analog video is copied
