Advances in computing power and software for manipulation of digital media have dramatically affected the way computer music is generated and performed.

Even if this process is more complex than analog processing and has a discrete value range, the application of computational power to digital signal processing allows for many advantages over analog processing in many applications, such as error detection and correction in transmission as well as data compression.

Signal Processing is a very mathematically oriented and intensive area forming the core of digital signal processing and it is rapidly expanding with new applications in every field of electrical engineering such as communications, control, radar, TV / Audio / Video engineering, power electronics and bio-medical engineering as many already existing analog systems are replaced with their digital counterparts.

A digital IIR filter can generally approximate a desired filter response using less computing power than a FIR filter, however this advantage is more often unneeded given the increasing power of digital processors.

The power circuits power electrical or self-contained electrohydraulic actuators that are controlled by the digital flight control computers.

As most applications requiring computation are now performed by small digital computers, the remaining useful application is in power sensing, which combines current sensing with voltage sensing in a single Hall effect device.

Machines with a digital display calculate the user's power by measuring the speed of the flywheel during the stroke and then recording the rate at which it decelerates during the recovery.

In virtually every type of contemporary chip implementation of digital systems, the bipolar transistors have been replaced by complementary field-effect transistors ( MOSFETs ) to reduce size and power consumption still further, thereby resulting in complementary metal – oxide – semiconductor ( CMOS ) logic.

Buckland also states that Bush's idea should be viewed from the historical perspective of microfilm technology developed prior to 1945 rather than based on the power and versatility of digital computer technology developed after 1945.

Other microcontrollers may serve performance-critical roles, where they may need to act more like a digital signal processor ( DSP ), with higher clock speeds and power consumption.

Because RTTY, using either AFSK or FSK modulation, produces a waveform with constant power, a transmitter does not need to use a linear amplifier, which is required for many digital transmission modes.

Relays with calibrated operating characteristics and sometimes multiple operating coils are used to protect electrical circuits from overload or faults ; in modern electric power systems these functions are performed by digital instruments still called " protective relays ".

* Amplify a digital signal, switching a large amount of power with a small operating power.

Since digital circuits are made from analog components, digital circuits calculate more slowly than low-precision analog circuits that use a similar amount of space and power.

The extent of such interference -- which may be so slight as to be undetectable at any point where either of the stations renders a usable signal, or may be so great as to virtually destroy the service areas of both stations -- depends on many factors, among the principal ones being the distance between the stations, their respective radiated power, and, of particular significance here, the time of day.

In the frequency domain, amplitude modulation produces a signal with power concentrated at the carrier frequency and two adjacent sidebands.

Amplitude modulation is inefficient in power usage ; at least two-thirds of the power is concentrated in the carrier signal, which carries no useful information ( beyond the fact that a signal is present ).

This unique RF box was also where the power supply connected in a unique dual power / television signal setup similar to the RCA Studio II's.

An amplifier is a device for increasing the power of a signal by use of an external energy source.

Ideally an amplifier increases the power of a signal without otherwise altering it ; practical amplifiers have finite distortion and noise which they invariably add to the signal.

If two equivalent amplifiers are being compared, the amplifier with higher gain settings would be more sensitive as it would take less input signal to produce a given amount of power.

For these amplifiers, the 1 dB compression point is defined as the input power ( or output power ) where the gain is 1 dB less than the small signal gain.

In basic electric circuit theory, when studying band-pass and band-reject filters, the bandwidth represents the distance between the two points in the frequency domain where the signal is of the maximum signal amplitude ( half power ).

While removing the global clock signal makes the design process considerably more complex in many ways, asynchronous ( or clockless ) designs carry marked advantages in power consumption and heat dissipation in comparison with similar synchronous designs.

* Keeping peripherals on-chip also reduces power consumption as external GPIO ports typically require buffering so that they can source or sink the relatively high current loads that are required to maintain a strong signal outside of the chip.

Until the development of semiconductor diodes, valve diodes were used in analog signal applications and as rectifiers in many power supplies.

Among the most popular in this series were: 1N34A / 1N270 ( Germanium signal ), 1N914 / 1N4148 ( Silicon signal ), 1N4001-1N4007 ( Silicon 1A power rectifier ) and 1N54xx ( Silicon 3A power rectifier )

By contrast, the EM far-field is composed of radiation that is free of the transmitter in the sense that ( unlike the case in an electrical transformer ) the transmitter requires the same power to send these changes in the fields out, whether the signal is immediately picked up, or not.

The supermarket giants wield great purchasing power over farmers and processors, and strong influence over consumers.

Motorola had intended the EC variant for embedded use, but embedded processors during the 68040's time did not need the power of the 68040, so EC variants of the 68020 and 68030 continued to be common in designs.

By porting to Android, MIPS processors power smartphones and tablets running on the operating system.

This was due primarily to the extreme heat caused by most of the full-sized processors available and unacceptable power consumption.

In the 1990s, CGI required expensive processors and customized applications, but by the 2000s ( decade ), computing power has pushed capabilities down to personal laptops running a wide array of software.

Equipment manufacturers have developed a number of larger ultrasonic processors of up to 16 kW power.

This table contains specifications for certain SPARC processors: frequency ( megahertz ), architecture version, release year, number of threads ( threads per core multiplied by the number of cores ), fabrication process ( micrometers ), number of transistors ( millions ), die size ( square millimetres ), number of I / O pins, dissipated power ( watts ), voltage, and cache sizes — data, instruction, L2 and L3 ( kibibytes ).

Systems with a massive number of processors generally take one of two paths: in one approach, e. g. in grid computing the processing power of a large number of computers in distributed, diverse administrative domains, is opportunistically used whenever a computer is available.

Designs ( e. g. desktop processors ) which include vast numbers of circuits which are not actively switching still consume power because of this leakage current.

The bottleneck in the scalability of SMP using buses or crossbar switches is the bandwidth and power consumption of the interconnect among the various processors, the memory, and the disk arrays.

The effects house is extremely secretive about the computing power the AMD-powered Death Star possesses, but it is estimated that at one time it employed close to 1500 processors in 750 nodes.

As desktop processors became powerful enough to support real-time gaming and video processing, demand grew for this particular type of computing power, and microprocessor vendors turned to SIMD to meet the demand.

Designers use 8051 silicon IP cores, because of the smaller size, and lower power, compared to 32 bit processors like ARM M series, MIPS and BA22.

* Trading the speed of processors for lower power consumption.

As power consumption ( and consequently heat generation ) by computers has become a concern in recent years, parallel computing has become the dominant paradigm in computer architecture, mainly in the form of multicore processors.

Increasing processor power consumption led ultimately to Intel's May 2004 cancellation of its Tejas and Jayhawk processors, which is generally cited as the end of frequency scaling as the dominant computer architecture paradigm.

New processors, launched in the third quarter of 2007 ( codename Barcelona ), incorporate a variety of improvements, particularly in memory prefetching, speculative loads, SIMD execution and branch prediction, yielding an appreciable performance improvement over K8-based Opterons, within the same power envelope.

In the meantime, AMD has also utilized a new scheme to characterize the power consumption of new processors under " average " daily usage, named average CPU power ( ACP ).
