2. Clock rate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clock_rate

   The first fully mechanical digital computer, the Z1, operated at 1 Hz (cycle per second) clock frequency and the first electromechanical general purpose computer, the Z3, operated at a frequency of about 5–10 Hz. The first electronic general purpose computer, the ENIAC, used a 100 kHz clock in its cycling unit. As each instruction took 20 ...

3. Microprocessor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microprocessor

   Designers in the late 1960s were striving to integrate the central processing unit (CPU) functions of a computer onto a handful of MOS LSI chips, called microprocessor unit (MPU) chipsets. While there is disagreement over who invented the microprocessor, [ 2 ] [ 14 ] the first commercially available microprocessor was the Intel 4004 , released ...

4. Time-tracking software - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-tracking_software

   Time-tracking software are computer programs that allows users to record time spent on tasks or projects. Time-tracking software may include time-recording software, which uses user activity monitoring to record the activities performed on a computer and the time spent on each project and task .

5. Microprocessor chronology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microprocessor_chronology

   Key home computers in the early part of the decade predominantly use processors developed in the 1970s. Versions of the 6502, first released in 1975, powered the Commodore 64, Apple II, BBC Micro, and Atari 8-bit computers. The 8-bit Zilog Z80 (1976) is at the core of the ZX Spectrum, MSX systems and many others.

6. Instructions per second - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instructions_per_second

   Instructions per second (IPS) is a measure of a computer's processor speed. For complex instruction set computers (CISCs), different instructions take different amounts of time, so the value measured depends on the instruction mix; even for comparing processors in the same family the IPS measurement can be problematic.

7. Real-time clock - Wikipedia
