This course includes the works of some geniuses in the field of computer science and mathematics. One of greatest was Dijkstra who taught briefly at the University of Texas in Austin. Take some time to research Dijkstra and as always, include a summary along with an Internet URL and your name in the comments section of this blog.
The research topic requires that student compare two processors currently being used in personal computers. See the text for the full requirement. Before you begin, you should read the chapter (As Homer Simpson says, "D'oh") and look at this site for a simple explanation of processor management. Then you can research processors (you'll find information on dual-core and multi-core processors). Remember to include your synopsis, a relevant URL, and your name ("d'oh" again).
