Miners complain that safety standards are ignored in the pits and in the processing unit.
The NOR type needs to be ultrafast because it is directly connected to the central processing unit of a computer and stores its basic input-output system (the operating system used by the microchip that lies beneath user-interface operating systems, such as Windows).
Intel controls 80% of the central processing unit chips that go into personal computers, but it has yet to gain traction among handheld devices.
The Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) has been enhanced in a number of ways, principally to allow for easier use of the GPU for general purpose computing (GPGPU) such as physics simulation.
ENGADGET: Sony unveils its next game console, the PlayStation 4, arriving in holiday 2013
Those included stored memory (the ability to hold both a stored program and data), conditional control transfer, which allowed the computer to stop and be resumed, and the central processing unit, which allowed all computer functions to be coordinated through one source.
The graphics processing unit (GPU) "has become a much more important processor in a system than it was just a few years ago, when everything was 2-D in nature, " says Sam Blackman, chief executive of Elemental Technologies, a company that builds video-processing software that runs on Nvidia's gear.
The application is designed to stop using the computer's central processing unit (CPU) when it is left to run in the background.
Furthermore, the unit's 900MHz x 2 high-performance dual-core chipset boosts the unit's image processing capacity so consumers can enjoy the highest picture quality and the fastest web-browsing speed.
ENGADGET: Samsung introduces its CES audio hardware, claims a world first
The Japanese firm is pinning its hopes on the processing power and storage capacity of its new console, which will include a revolutionary processing unit based on the new Cell chip, developed with IBM and Toshiba.
The megahertz number so often cited in the marketing materials of computer companies refers to the computer's central processing unit chip as a partial measure of its ability to process data.
Believe it or not, it was back in 2006 that the chipmaker first started talking about its "new class of x86 processors" and the idea of an Accelerated Processing Unit (APU) -- a chip that would combine a CPU and a fairly powerful ATI GPU onto the same die.
Sapir stopped work on the plant, prompting MOR to reassign the processing of polypropylene to another MOR unit working under an Inteco agreement.
It can be patterned alongside a microprocessor, combining in one unit all the memory and processing power a PC, cell phone or personal organizer needs.
The setup uses a splittable controller and a processing unit to enable seamless motion control and spacial tracking on any title and system.
The problem: While Intel makes a mighty fine central processing unit (CPU)--its Centrino 2 and Core 2 products can be found in most of the world's laptop and desktop computers--the company has stumbled repeatedly when it has tried to break out of that market.
By contrast an Nvidia graphics processing unit, or GPU, renders graphics by simultaneously hashing out the same problem for multiple pixels: textures, lighting and smooth rendering of shapes flying across the screen.
The plan is to first launch a service craft -- replete with robotic arms and enough processing horsepower to work independently if needed -- followed by the tiny base-unit skeleton satlets.
ENGADGET: Pentagon starts Phoenix trial to harvest defunct satellites, MacGyver new ones from orbit
The old Aeron Valley Cheese plant at Felinfach, near Lampeter, will be used as a storage and processing unit.
RLX's software balances the processing load among hundreds of blades and instantly shifts data and workload from a failing blade to a reserve unit.
