1 write a note on different types of central processing unit
Types of CPU:-
 Single-core CPU
 Dual-core CPU
 Quad-core CPU
 Hexa Core processors
 Octa-core processors
 Deca-core processor
CPU is expanded as a central processing unit which is the main and central processor in the
electronic circuitry located inside the system. It executes commands according to the computer
program. It performs fundamental arithmetic logic, input and output operations, control circuits
that follow the program fed in the computer. The CPU is a vital element that manages all the
calculations and commands which are transferred to other components of the computer and its
peripherals. The rapid speed of CPU obeys to command of the input program. The components
are dependent and powerful when linked to the CPU. The Intel 486 is rapid than 386, but after
introducing the Pentium processor, all the processors are named like Duron, Celeron, Pentium,
and Athlon.
1. Single-core CPU
It is the oldest type of CPU which is available and employed in most of the personal and official
computers. The single-core CPU can execute only one command at a time and its not efficient in
multi-tasking. It signifies that there is a markable declination in performance if more than a
single application is executed..
2. Dual-core CPU
It is a single CPU that comprises of two strong cores and functions like dual CPU acting like
one. Unlike the CPU with a single core, the processor must switch back and forth within a
variable array of data streams and if or more thread is executed, the dual-core CPU manages the
multitasking effectively. To utilize the dual-core CPU effectively, the running programs and
operating system should have a unique code called simultaneous multi-threading technology
embedded in it. Dual-core CPU is rapid than a single core but it is not robust as quad-core CPU
3. Quad-core CPU
The quad-core CPU is a refined model of multiple core CPU features and design with four cores
on a single CPU. Similar to dual-core CPU, that divides the workload in between the cores, and
quad-core enables for effective multitasking. It doesn’t signify any single operation which is four
times faster rapid than others. Unless the applications and program executed on it by SMT code
will fasten the speed and becomes unnoticeable. Such types of CPU are used in people who need
to execute multiple different programs at the same time as gamers,
4. Hexa Core processors
It is another multiple core processor which is available with six cores and can execute the task
which works rapidly than the quad-core and dual-core processors. For users of the personal
computer, the processors of Hexacore is simple and now the Intel is launched with Inter core i7
in 2010 with Hexa core processor. But here the users of smartphones use only quad-core and
dual-core processors.
5. Octa-core processors
The dual-core is built with two cores, four cores are built-in quad-core, Hexa comes with six
cores where the octa processors are developed with eight independent cores to execute an
effective task that is efficient and even acts rapidly than quad-core processors. Trending octa-
core processors comprises of a dual set of quad-core processors that divides different activities
between the various types. Many times, the minimum powered core sets are employed to
produce advanced tasks. If there is any emergency or requirement, the rapid four sets of cores
will be kicked in. In precise, the octa-core is perfectly defined with dual-code core and adjust it
accordingly to give the effective performance.
6. Deca-core processor
The processor with double core comprises two cores, 4 cores are available with quad cores, six
cores are available in hexacore processors. Deca-core is available with ten independent systems
that are deployed to execute and manage the task that is successful than other processors that are
developed until now. Owning a PC, or any device made with a deca-core processor is the best
option. It is faster than other processors and very successful in multi-tasking. Deca-core
processors are trending with its advanced features. Most of the smartphones are now available
with Deca core processors with low-cost and never become outdated. Surely, most gadgets in the
market are updated with new processors to give more useful purposes to people.

2 how you can measure quality of electric in computer system? discuss on it

with an example
Electricity is measured in units of power called Watts, named to honor James Watt, the inventor
of the steam engine. A Watt is the unit of electrical power equal to one ampere under the
pressure of one volt. One Watt is a small amount of power.
Volts, amps, ohms, and watts are therefore the four fundamental units of electricity.
The quality of electrical power may be described as a set of values of parameters,
such as: Continuity of service (Whether the electrical power is subject to voltage drops or
overages below or above a threshold level thereby causing blackouts or brownouts)Variation in
voltage magnitude
Ammeter– Ammeter is a measuring instrument used to measure direct or alternating electric
current in an electric circuit.
Tape Measure. A well-worn tape measure signifies a builder who takes their work seriously
Speed Square. A speed square can be found on the hip of carpenters and DIYers everywhere.
Laser Measure. A ruler is measured in both metric and customary units. The standard distance
above the ruler is indicated in centimeters and below in inches, and the interval in the ruler is
called the hash mark. Rulers are probably the most common measuring tool in use today
3 what does it mean preventive maintenance discuss with example

Preventive maintenance (PM) is a simple and popular maintenance strategy. Preventive

maintenance, also known as preventative maintenance, can help extend asset life, increase
productivity, and ultimately decrease maintenance spending.
Preventive maintenance:- is the act of performing regularly scheduled maintenance activities
to help prevent unexpected failures in the future.
Include:- cleaning, lubrication, replacing or repairing parts,
preventive maintenance include ensuring production line equipment is working efficiently or
heating, ventilation or air conditioning elements are inspected, cleaned and updated.
 Preventive maintenance means less energy consumption for your assets and equipment due to
high levels of operational efficiency,

Types of Preventive Maintenance

1 Calendar- or Time based preventive maintenance.

These types of preventive maintenance are completed at regular or scheduled intervals with help
from preventive maintenance software. While all critical equipment should have PM, regularly
checking equipment critical to production will help decrease breakdowns.
A motor-pool may have required fleet maintenance every 4 months. This is a great example of
preventive maintenance.
2 Usage-based preventive maintenance
Usage-based are used to determine corrective actions. Usage statistics can include cycle counts,
runtime,miles/kilometer straveled,or hours, among others. For example, one kind of PM could be
where an industrial maintenance technician checks machine usage statistics. Then, depending on
measurements and usage readings gathered in rounds, maintenance may be scheduled.
