Number of Words: 2646 / Number of Pages: 10
... - the Pentium Pro
processor moves to a decoupled, 12-stage, superpipelined implementation, trading
less work per pipestage for more stages. The Pentium Pro processor reduced its
pipestage time by 33 percent, compared with a Pentium processor, which means the
Pentium Pro processor can have a 33% higher clock speed than a Pentium processor
and still be equally easy to produce from a semiconductor manufacturing process
(i.e., transistor speed) perspective.
The Pentium processor's superscalar microarchitecture, with its ability to
execute two instructions per clock, would be difficult to exceed wit ...

problems. Tagging the two systems, you press enter, and with a flash, the screen
displays all the statitics of the two systems, including anything they might
have in common causing the problem. Seeing that both systems are linked to the
same card of a network switch, you pick up the phone and give that branch office
a call, notifying them not only that they have a problem, but how to fix it as
well.

... the whole predicament. They even started giving
refunds to users who were never able to get on during the troubled ordeal.
Some people are predicting, because of the length of Internet calls and
the amount of bandwidth the calls take, that one day in the not so distant
future, the entire telephone network, or at least a great portion of it,
will cease to function, and all telephone calls will fail to connect. This
idea is referred to by some as the "Gridlock Theory." Others advise that
steps can be taken to avoid such a disaster, such as upgrading phone lines
and limiting Internet usage. Followin ...
