Document Summary
A computer system is a set of integrated devices that takes input in form of data and process it to carry out functions and gives output in form of information or actions . Computer system has six elements such as input, output, users, functions, data and networking. Amdahl law implies that the performance improvement of using some faster mode of execution is limited by the fraction of the time the faster mode can be used. Hence we need to take care of the performance of that parts of the systems which are not performing well. Why transistors used in bell labs and how they affected modern computers. Transistors are semiconductor devices that amplify and generate electronic signals.
