Document Summary

Clock speed- the speed of the internal clock of a cpu that sets the pace at which operations proceed within the computers internal processing circuitry. Word length- number of bits (0"s & 1"s) that can be processed by the cpu at any one time. Computers work in terms of bits and bytes using electrical pulses that have two states: on & Bus width- the size of the internal electrical pathway along which signals are sent from one part of the computer to another. A wider bus can move more data, hence faster processing. Chip line width- the distance between transistors on a chip. The shorter the chip line width the faster the chip since more transistors can be placed on a chip and the data and instructions travel short distances during processing. Front end communicate with clients, back end with servers. Interoperability- capacity of two or more computer systems to share info but there made by different manufacturers.
