Study Notes
Processor Architecture
- A 64-bit processor is more capable than a 32-bit processor because it can handle more data at once.
Computational Power
- The primary factor that determines the computational power of a 64-bit processor over a 32-bit processor is its ability to handle more data.
- A 64-bit processor can store more computational values, including memory addresses, which means it can access over 4 billion times the physical memory of a 32-bit processor.
Turing Completeness
- A computer is said to be Turing complete if it can simulate a Turing machine (abstract machine).
- All today’s computers are Turing complete, which means that all computers can solve the same set of problems.
- From a computational point of view, there is no difference between any two digital computers in terms of their problem-solving ability.
Computer Architecture
