The MCS-51 and its derivatives are Intel's highest volume microprocessor, [8] and among the most implemented instruction set architectures of all time. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Wharton was the subject of a 1999 New York Times profile, [ 8 ] and a 2001 article about his trips to Fiji to collect debris from the deorbit of the Mir space station . [ 9 ]
Microprocessor clock speeds reached a ceiling because of the heat dissipation barrier [citation needed]. Instead of implementing expensive and impractical cooling systems, manufacturers turned to parallel computing in the form of the multi-core processor. Overclocking had its roots in the 1990s, but came into its own in the 2000s.
Gary Arlen Kildall (/ ˈ k ɪ l d ˌ ɔː l /; May 19, 1942 – July 11, 1994) was an American computer scientist and microcomputer entrepreneur. During the 1970s, Kildall created the CP/M operating system among other operating systems and programming tools, [5] and subsequently founded Digital Research, Inc. to market and sell his software products.
A major change in PowerPoint 2007 was from a binary file format, used from 1997 to 2003, to a new XML file format which evolved over further versions. System requirements: (Windows) 500 MHz processor or higher, Windows XP with SP2 or later, 256 MB RAM. [248] (Mac) 500 MHz processor or higher, MacOS X 10.4.9 or later, 512 MB RAM. [249]

The Portable Document Format (PDF) was created by Adobe Systems, introduced at the Windows and OS/2 Conference in January 1993 and remained a proprietary format until it was released as an open standard in 2008.
A von Neumann architecture scheme. The von Neumann architecture—also known as the von Neumann model or Princeton architecture—is a computer architecture based on the First Draft of a Report on the EDVAC, [1] written by John von Neumann in 1945, describing designs discussed with John Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert at the University of Pennsylvania's Moore School of Electrical Engineering.
