Ballard's Computer Puzzle
14
CPU : the core of your computer, the nucleus if you will. Able to execute 2 billion calculations each second
bit : the simplest, rawest form of computing information. Either a 0 or 1
byte : a piling of 8 bits
heat sink : responsible for lessening the heat generated by the CPU
RAM : responsible for short-term memory. A type of computer memory that can be accessed randomly
motherboard : responsible for holding components of a computer; the skeleton of the computer
videocard : a circuitboard that dictates that which is displayed on the output screen
harddrive : responsible for preserving the computer's long-term information; the filing cabinet of the computer
powersupply : responsible for converting main AC into low-voltage DC power so that the computer can operate
Ghz : used to measure the number of cycles the microprocessors can execute within a second; one of these is equivalent to 1 billion cycles
SSD : store data using flash memory; similar to a hard drive, except these do not have moving parts
GB : a unit of computer storage; equivalent to one billion bits
terabyte : a unit of computer storage; equivalent to one thousand gigabytes
binary : the means by which computers store data and perform calculations; composed of 0's and 1's
