Using the web, find definitions for the following terms and post them on your blog.

1.Algorithms: A class of learning methods, based on the idea of comparing temporally successive predictions. Possibly the single most fundamental idea in all of reinforcement learning.

2.Pseudo code:a way of writing program descriptions that is similar to programming languages but may include English descriptions and does not have a precise

3.Machine Language:The most fundamental way to program a computer, using instructions made up entirely of strings of 0sand 1s. macro

4.High Level Computer Language:In computing, a high-level programming language is a programming language with strong abstraction from the details of the computer. In comparison to low-level programming languages, it may use natural language elements, be easier to use, or more portable across platforms. Such languages hide the details of CPU operations such as memory access models and management of scope.

5.Flowchart:is a representation, primarily through the use of symbols, of the sequence of activities in a system (process, operation, function, or activity). ...

STARTED TO FIX MY PICZO PAGE BY ADDING PICS AND TEXT AND MAKING IT LOOK GOOD

1. What ifunction of the CPUs the ?
microprocessor -- also known as a CPU or central processing unit -- is a complete computation engine that is fabricated on a single chip. The first microprocessor was the Intel 4004, introduced in 1971. The 4004 was not very powerful -- all it could do was add and subtract, and it could only do that 4 bits at a time. But it was amazing that everything was on one chip. Prior to the 4004, engineers built computers either from collections of chips or from discrete components (transistors wired one at a time). The 4004 powered one of the first portable electronic calculators.
If you have ever wondered what the microprocessor in your computer is doing, or if you have ever wondered about the differences between types of microprocessors, then read on. In this article, you will learn how fairly simple digital logic techniques allow a computer to do its job, whether its playing a game or spell checking a document!


2. What was the name of the first CPU?
The first microprocessor to make it into a home computer was the Intel 8080, a complete 8-bit computer on one chip, introduced in 1974. The first microprocessor to make a real splash in the market was the Intel 8088, introduced in 1979 and incorporated into the IBM PC (which first appeared around 1982). If you are familiar with the PC market and its history, you know that the PC market moved from the 8088 to the 80286 to the 80386 to the 80486 to the Pentium to the Pentium II to the Pentium III to the Pentium 4. All of these microprocessors are made by Intel and all of them are improvements on the basic design of the 8088. The Pentium 4 can execute any piece of code that ran on the original 8088, but it does it about 5,000 times faster!
The following table helps you to understand the differences between the different processors that Intel has introduced over the years.


3. Referring to the graph on page 2 of the article, describe how the speed of CPU’s has changed.
It increases and decreases in speed over the time for example it changed from 1.5 GHz in 2000 to 3.6GHz in 2004

4. What does MIPS measure?
MIPS stands for "millions of instructions per second" and is a rough measure of the performance of a CPU. Modern CPUs can do so many different things that MIPS ratings lose a lot of their meaning, but you can get a general sense of the relative power of the CPUs from this column.

5. Research (Google it) what is a dual core processor, what is multitasking and how do the two work together.
A dual core processor is aaa CPU with two separate cores on the same die, each with its own cache. It's the equivalent of getting two microprocessors in one.

Today we started our term 3 assignment

i decide to use piczo and maddie is using sprout

my topics are:
-SECOUNDARY STORAGE
-HAND HELD MEDIA DIVICES
-GRAPHICS CARD

uploaded our story board to amalis blooger and started to write our script

18/6/08

finally finished the story board and tried to upload but ran out of time so we will load next lesson
maddi away again

11/06/08

changed some things and fixed our promblems. we finnally started our story board the lesson before but maddy did not want to do this idea so maddie was going to change it. by next lesson


16/06/08

amali and i changed the story board again because maddy was away for the third time. so we had to go back to the first idea again because we didnt no what she was doing with her idea

16/06/08

amali and i

worked on our story board.

27/6/08


Amali,Madaline and I
started the story board

broad band

1. What is broadband?

A way of transmitting large amounts of data, voice, and video that is greater than telephony networks. ...

2. What units are used to measure bandwidth?

Most of us might not know what is the difference between kilobyte and kibibyte. One of the most confusing problems regarding PC statistics and measurements, where people misuse kibibytes as kilobytes because, the computers are more widely used nowadays, so the binary nature of digital computer lends them to think kilobyte as 1024. 1024 bytes is not really a kilobyte, it is a kibibyte. Kilo stands for 10^3, which is 1000, which is not equal to 1024. Kilobyte is a unit of information equal to 1000 bytes in SI unit. As a unit of computer storage, i.e., in Binary, the kilobyte is usually equal to 1024 bytes, this should be called as kibibyte. Don't get confused with kilobyte and kibibyte which lets you to calculate wrongly. The following table will help you in this difference.

3. How much faster is broadband than dial up?

ADSL Broadband is a high-speed Internet service (up to 140 times faster than dial up Internet) which uses an existing telephone line to connect to the Internet. ADSL1 is the most widely available type which is up to 140 times faster than dial up Internet. ADSL2+ can be much faster again and is the popular choice in areas that are ASDL2+ enabled.
OK, ADSL broadband is many times faster than dial up – but what are some other benefits?

4. What are the speeds that broadband operates at compared to dial up?

Broadband Internet access, often shortened to just broadband, is high-speed Internet access—typically contrasted with dial-up access over a modem.

5. What are some of the advantages of using a broadband connection to download something like a video compared to dial up?


It's a lot faster so a video that would take an hour to download on a dial up connection, would take half that time or even less. This means that there's less chance of someone losing their patience and trashing their computer ;). Another good thing is that as soom as you turn on your computer, if you're using dial up, you'll always be online unlike dial up when you have to 'dial' a connection. Another great thing that I love about broadband and hate about dial up is that you can use the phone and still be online but on dial up your phone line is tighed up for the data transfer so your stuck only talking to friends through msn.

want let me upload

It still want let me upload

pac man

Pac man

my video want upload
it keep saying the surver is down
please excuss me for late upload as it want upload at all. i tried so many times last night but it still want upload so i will try again on a diffrent computer thanks

put all my slides into movie maker and made them all good and fixed the promblems i had.

Game developer

Ah, game designer. Quite possibly the industry's most desired and most misunderstood role. Being a designer is not about sitting around thinking up cool ideas and getting paid. But just what is it about, then? As game genres expand and diversify, the designer's role is becoming ever more specialized.From level architecture to fiction writing, we’ll fill you in on the basic elements.

As the game designer, you'll be the person primarily responsible for the playability and Fun Factor of the game. The skill to create the best game under the circumstances and to target the genre and the audience. You would see this person work at a game shop. For one, you need a college degree in computer science (of course if you're going to be a graphics designer, you would take some animation and graphic design classes). Also, you need a job with a development company. They use such sofware and hardware as java, Flagship Magazine,Perl, PHP, and C#.
