The number of pulses emitted from a computers clock in one second; it determines the rate at which logical or arithmetic gating is performed in a synchronous computer
Usually refers to the sample rate at which keyboards play the pre-recorded ROM samples back at
The rate at which the clock signal provided to a smart card processor changes; typically, 5 MHz or 5,000,000 pulses per second Smart card processors divide this by 2 and take on the average of 4 or 5 clocks per instruction and so run at about ½ MIP or 500,000 instructions per second
The rate at which a clock issues timing pulses Note: Clock rates are usually expressed in pulses per second, such as 4 96 Mpps (megapulses per second)
The number of pulses emitted from a computer's clock in one second; it determines the rate at which logical or arithmetic gating is performed in a synchronous computer
The processing speed of a computer measured in millions of cycles per second The clock circuit uses fixed vibrations produced by a quartz crystal to deliver a steady stream of pulses to the CPU
A measure of the performance of a computers CPU (or processor) The CPU's operations are synchronized to a quartz crystal that pulses millions of times each second The rapidity of these pulses - measured in megahertz - is the clock rate (or speed)
The number of pulses emitted from a computer's clock in one second It determines the rate at which logical or arithmetic gating is performed in a synchronous computer
(1) Rate at which clock pulses (or clock ticks) are generated by clock circuitry, stated in Hertz (2) With respect to a central processing unit (CPU), the time required to fetch and execute the fastest instruction
