2¿How does a computer process the information?
For process, the information the computer works whit a binary language where the numbers, letters and images are converted in a number of one and cero series.

In this process influences the software, which is the intangible part that install the programs on the computer included the OS allowing the startup, is the plataform that works with the rest of programs an applications installed

The Central Processing Unit CPU recive the information captured by the ram and choose in the software stored in the memory ROM the program suitable for the processing of the information choosed depending the types of information, of which are searched (texts, images, photographies, audio, stadistics and other more).

Before processing can begin, the data is first translated to the machine language (binary) equivalent using convectional codes. This is also referred to as digitization.

Text data are converted using the ASCII or UNICODE.

The central processing unit (CPU) analyzes the raw data and processes it into sensible information. The CPU receives instructions from the user and issues prompts accordingly. After the data is processed, it is translated to output formats that are easily understandable by the user.
2* What are the key components that made computers fasters?
There are 4 basic types of computer parts:  

a) Input devices - parts of the computer that allow information or data to be given to 

the computer like keyboard or a mouse.  

b) Storage  devices  –  parts  of  the  computer  that  hold  information.   The  primary 

storage device is the computer’s memory called RAM (random access memory).  

It  remembers  everything  that  is  read,  input,  or  output.   But,  because  the 

computer’s  memory is  on a  temporary  area—it  forgets everything when  turned 

off—it must have another place to store information permanently.  This secondary 

storage device is usually a disk. 

c) Processing device – part of the computer that processes and  controls the flow of 

information; it actually does the work.  The one part of the computer that handles 

this job is the central processing unit or CPU.  

d) Output devices - parts of the computer that gives out information generated by the 

computer, like a monitor, printer or speaker. 

Computers use a binary code language, in which the numbers, letters, and images it receives in the form of electrical signals, are transformed into series of zeros and ones. In order to process these codes, the computer needs software and hardware, which are related in order to process the zeros and ones; The element that unites these two parts is the CPU (Central Processing Unit), which is in charge of controlling all the functions of the computer.

The order of processing is like this:

1. Request or information entered into the computer by means either tangible or intangible.

2. The variable data is then stored in the RAM memories for quick access.

3. The rest of the information is stored in the ROM memories to have a permanent read-only storage but with slower access.

4. Then the CPU receives the instructions from the RAM and selects the data that are useful from the ROM, in order to generate a response and display it on the screen or any output peripheral.

 

The key point that made computers faster was implementing circuit boards made of silicon to store the electrical circuits needed to connect other devices; Also, the use of chips and discs to store information to put aside the vacuum tubes. These changes, in addition to improving processing speed and efficiency, decreased the size and expense of computers before.

RTA: The computer does its main work in a part of the machine that we cannot see, a control center that converts data input into information output. This control center, called the central processing unit (CPU), is a large and highly complex set of electronic circuits that executes stored program instructions. All computers, large and small, must have a central processing unit, the central processing unit consists of two parts: the control unit and the arithmetic / logic unit. Each part has a specific function.

The components that make a computer faster are: the processor, the hard disk, the Ram memory and the graphics card.

Processor
the more core a processor has the better, a processor that has two cores in turn has two threads per core, so the performance is better.

HDD
Disk speed is measured in revolutions per minute (rpm). The higher the speed, the better.

RAM
The more RAM memory a device has, the more possibility it has of being able to open more informative programs and work in unison.

Graphic plate
There are two graphics cards, they are integrated and independent, the integrated cards are usually used for continuous tasks, independent multimedia edition programs or for video games are required.

The computer works with a particular language to process information, known as binary code, in which the numbers, letters and images that it receives in the form of electrical signals, are transformed into series of zeros and one.

2) What are the key components that made computers faster?

the speed of a computer depends on the amount of its processors the size of the ram memory and the storage capacity of the hard disk these 3 elements influence the speed and response of the computer

 

A computer processes information trough a central procesing unit (CPU) that interprets and carries out program instructions by carrying out logical and mathematical operations and communicating with the other parts of the system.

The informaction is received trough the keyboard, a CD, a floppy disk or a communication unit that connects it to the internet or to other computer, with which it´s linked trough a network. Then the memories intervene: RAM, internal or direct access memory that stores programs and variable information and has limited capacity, and ROM, external or read-only memory, which contains permanent instructions (the operating system and programs), and it’s slower access. Next, the CPU receives the information captured by the RAM and selects, among the software stored in the ROM, the appropriate program depending on the type of information in question. Processes the information using the instructions of the chosen program and siplays a result on the screen, which can be the solution of a calculation or a modification in a text or image.

-What are the key components that made computers faster?

Traditional hard drive rotation can influence processor action time. The presence of a Solid Disk Drive (SSD) accelarates its speed due to tyhe type of mechanism it handles, taking into account it’s RAM and processor capacity.

While a computer program is a passive collection of instructions, a process is the actual execution of those instructions. Several processes may be associated with the same program; for example, opening up several instances of the same program often results in more than one process being executed.

Multitasking is a method to allow multiple processes to share processors (CPUs) and other system resources. Each CPU (core) executes a single task at a time. However, multitasking allows each processor to switch between tasks that are being executed without having to wait for each task to finish (preemption). Depending on the operating system implementation, switches could be performed when tasks initiate and wait for completion of input/output operations, when a task voluntarily yields the CPU, on hardware interrupts, and when the operating system scheduler decides that a process has expired its fair share of CPU time (e.g, by the Completely Fair Scheduler of the Linux kernel).

A common form of multitasking is provided by CPU's time-sharing that is a method for interleaving the execution of users processes and threads, and even of independent kernel tasks - although the latter feature is feasible only in preemptive kernels such as Linux. Preemption has an important side effect for interactive process that are given higher priority with respect to CPU bound processes, therefore users are immediately assigned computing resources at the simple pressing of a key or when moving a mouse. Furthermore, applications like video and music reproduction are given some kind of real-time priority, preempting any other lower priority process. In time-sharing systems, context switches are performed rapidly, which makes it seem like multiple processes are being executed simultaneously on the same processor. This simultaneous execution of multiple processes is called concurrency.

-What are the key components that made computers faster?

There are many components in a computer that help make it faster and more powerful overall. Below is a list of the main hardware components that contribute to the speed and computer's performance.

Processor (CPU)
Computer CPU
The overall speed or clock speed of the computer and how fast it is capable of processing data is managed by the computer processor (CPU). A good processor is capable of executing more instructions every second, hence, increased speed. For example, the first computer processor was the Intel 4004, which was only a 740 kHz processor capable of processing approximately 92,000 instructions per second. Today's processors are multi-core GHz processors capable of processing over 100 billion instructions per second.

Cache
Although today's computers can execute billions of instructions every second, the processor is usually waiting for those instructions from the slower types of memory in the computer. Because RAM and the hard drive are slower than the CPU, computer processors and motherboards use cache to transfer data between the processor, memory, and other components. The cache is the fastest type of memory, and a computer with more L2 cache or L3 cache can store more instructions and send them to the processor more efficiently.

Memory (RAM)
DDR4 RAM
A computer with more memory (RAM) is capable of storing more programs that are currently running in memory. If your computer runs out of memory, the computer must swap unused data stored in memory to the primary storage device until it is needed again. By adding this extra step, (and because hard drives and SSDs are the slowest types of memory), your computer can become much slower without enough memory.

Bus speed
For older computers, the bus speed of the motherboard increases the speed at which data is being transferred between all the hardware components. For example, an FSB (front-side bus) of 66 MHz is going to be much slower than a 400 MHz FSB. If the computer has a slow bus, the processor has to wait longer for the instructions, which makes the computer run slower.

Today, computers with an Intel processor use QPI (QuickPath Interconnect) instead of FSB. QPI is faster and more efficient than FSB. Computers with an AMD processor use HyperTransport instead of FSB. Like QPI, HyperTransport is also faster and more efficient than FSB. QPI and HyperTransport allow for faster communication between the processor, RAM, hard drive, and other hardware, meaning a faster computer.

Hard drive
Crucial SSD
Several components of a hard disk drive can make it slower or faster, which makes your computer run slower or faster overall.

For example, an HDD (traditional hard drive) makes a computer slower because of the moving parts inside it, which results in slower read and write times. However, an SSD (solid-state drive) has no moving parts, which results in faster read and write times.

Below is a list of different factors that contribute to the speed of a hard drive.

An SSD drive has no moving parts, which makes it much faster than a traditional HDD.
Older computers use EIDE (ATA) cables and ports to connect the drives, which have a much slower transfer rate than the SATA cables and ports used in newer computers.
The RPM of the HDD is how fast the platters inside the hard drive spin. A 5400 RPM hard drive is much slower than a 7200 RPM drive.
Video card
Video cards
If you play the latest computer games, a powerful video card with its own processor (GPU) and its own memory (VRAM) make them run faster. These types of video cards help with the performance of the computer by taking on the responsibilities of processing the 3D rendering and other complex tasks. The more powerful the video card is, the faster it can render 3D graphics.

The interface of a video card is also a contributing factor to the performance of the video card. For example, older AGP video cards are much slower than newer PCI Express video cards.

Latest operating system
Windows 10
In addition to the hardware that runs on your computer, having the latest operating system can have a significant impact on your overall computer's performance. As new technologies are introduced, for them to be fully supported by a computer, the operating system must also be written to interact with those new technologies. Although today's operating systems release updates to support new technologies, older operating systems may not receive these updates. For example, a computer with Windows 10 runs faster than a computer with Windows XP because it supports all the latest hardware and is more optimized.

Software
The software you're using can also affect the speed of a computer. If the software is not written to be efficient or it contains bugs, it can cause your compute

The language used by computers is binary in which there are only two values or symbols, 1 and 0, the ones are charged with electrical energy and the zeros are discharged, combining zeros and ones, you can send any type of information and their combinations are infinite, the information circulates in the form of electrical pulses through various media such as tracks, copper filaments or fiber optics these media are known as buses within computers use buses to send and receive information instructions between its parts such as memory, microprocessor, hard disk and all its components.

As a first key component, its brain known as CPU its function is to execute applications and coordinate the various devices, its working speed is measured in megahertz, this number defines how many times in a second can process instructions, for example a thousand megahertz in a second; the processor requires a place to store data these places are the hard disk and RAM memory, RAM or random access memory is a volatile memory because it loses information when it stops receiving power in addition to the RAM there is the ROM memory is read-only and allows reading data without being able to edit or modify them, ROM then does not depend on power for all this is that the information the computer needs to operate is stored on the hard disk or hard drive this storage unit has lower speed of writing and reading but preserves all data even if there is a power outage, in the hard drive everything is stored in the form of bits that is the minimum unit of information.

In a computer the processor is the center of activity. The processor, as we noted, is also called the central processing unit (CPU). The central processing unit consists of electronic circuits that interpret and execute program instructions, as well as communicate with the input, output, and storage devices.

In every computer program sits a set of instructions. The CPU uses the instructions as a guide to run the programs. To determine what to do with the instructions, the CPU goes through 4 steps to make sure the program runs without errors. The 4 steps are fetch, decode, execute and writeback.

The first thing that needs to be done is the fetch step. When the user makes a command to open a program, the CPU receives this request and processes it. The CPU then retrieves the desired program by accessing memory for the program's location.

The decode process is another list of steps. The CPU breaks down the code so that it is manageable. The parts that the CPU deals with are the only ones that directly communicate with it. The opcode (indicates the numerical order of code) is used to figure out the order in which the code must be executed.

Next is the execute stage. After finding the numerical order of the instructions in the code, the CPU is now ready to execute them in order. The program is loaded and made ready for the user.

The writeback phase is the final one. During each of the previous steps, the CPU records feedback on the process. This is necessary if there was a problem during one of the steps. Even if everything loaded successful, the CPU writes the status back into memory.
