Some DEC PDP-10 machines stored their microcode in SRAM chips ( about 80 bits wide x 2 Kwords ), which was typically loaded on power-on through some other front-end CPU.

Some undergraduate courses require a team of 2 to 5 students to design, implement, and test a simple CPU in a FPGA in a single 15 week semester.

Some digital synthesizers now exist in the form of " softsynth " software that synthesizes sound using conventional PC hardware, though they require careful programming and a fast CPU to get the same latency response as their dedicated equivalents.

Some of the fastest CPU upgrade modules featured the IBM SLC / DLC family ( notable for its 16 kB L1 cache ), or even the Intel 486 itself.

Some systems allowed the user to upgrade the i486SX to a CPU with a FPU.

Some systems use dedicated hardware to reduce the load on the host CPU, as with Symbolic Sound Corporation's Kyma System, and the Creamware / Sonic Core Pulsar / SCOPE systems, which used several DSP chips hosted on a PCI card to power an entire studio's worth of instruments, effects, and mixers.

Some of the functions may be performed through an application-specific integrated circuit ( ASIC ) to avoid overhead caused by multiple CPU cycles, and others may have to be performed through the CPU as these packets need special attention that cannot be handled by an ASIC.

Some RISC processors such as the PowerPC have instruction sets as large as, say, the CISC IBM System / 370 ; and conversely, the DEC PDP-8 — clearly a CISC CPU because many of its instructions involve multiple memory accesses — has only 8 basic instructions, plus a few extended instructions.

Some computer systems, upon receiving a boot signal from a human operator or a peripheral device, may load a very small number of fixed instructions into memory at a specific location, initialize at least one CPU, and then point the CPU to the instructions and start their execution.

Some very low-cost home computers or embedded systems dispensed with a UART and used the CPU to sample the state of an input port or directly manipulate an output port for data transmission.

Some versions of ZX81 / Timex Sinclair 1000 used just four chips ( ULA, 2Kx8 RAM, 8Kx8 ROM, Z80A CPU ) to implement an entire mass-market personal computer with built-in BASIC interpreter.

Some analysts regard the PR scheme ( and a raw MHz / GHz rating ) as nothing more than a marketing tactic, rather than as a useful measure of CPU performance.

* Some motherboards are designed to use the secondary airflow from a standard CPU fan to cool other heatsinks, such as the northbridge.

Some workstations had bit-slice CPU implementations that were instruction set compatible with the 68000.

Some types of buses allow only one device ( typically the CPU, or its proxy ) to initiate transactions.

Some companies devised a method for squeezing in an entire CPU accelerator product, by means of placing all the specialized circuitry ( i. e. cache and logic ) into one tall chip that outright replaced the 40-pin 65C02 microprocessor, speeding up the machine from 4 – 10 MHz.

Some physics programmers may even delve into the difficult tasks of inverse kinematics and other motions attributed to game characters, but increasingly these motions are assigned via motion capture libraries so as not to overload the CPU with complex calculations.

Some second-level CPU caches run slower than the processor core.

Some floating-point units, such as the AMD 9511, Intel I8231 and Weitek FPUs were treated as peripheral devices, while others such as the Intel 8087, Motorola 68881 and National 32081 were more closely integrated with the CPU.

Some of the more common nomenclatures used are: SoC ( System on Chip ), BIOS ( Basic Input Output System ), CPU ( Central Processing Unit ), and etc.

Some motherboards that used Socket 370 support Intel processors in dual CPU configurations.

Some people love to crack tile and it's amazing what beautiful designs they come up with as a result of their cracking good time.

Some popular designs use the following types of ANOVA:

Some were little more than stopgap solutions, mounting an anti-tank gun on a tracked vehicle to give mobility, while others were more sophisticated designs.

Some smaller designs have been used as the basis for specialist fighters, such as night fighters, and a number of fighters, such as the Hawker Hurricane were used as ground attack aircraft bombers, replacing earlier conventional light bombers that proved unable to defend themselves and carry a reasonable bombload.

Some water clock designs were developed independently and some knowledge was transferred through the spread of trade.

Some designs had no explicit spring as such ; it was simply a compliant mechanism.

Some efficient designs for estimating several main effects simultaneously were found by Raj Chandra Bose and K. Kishen in 1940 at the Indian Statistical Institute, but remained little known until the Plackett-Burman designs were published in Biometrika in 1946.

Some important contributors to the field of experimental designs are C. S. Peirce, R. A. Fisher, F. Yates, C. R. Rao, R. C. Bose, J. N. Srivastava, Shrikhande S. S., D. Raghavarao, W. G. Cochran, O. Kempthorne, W. T. Federer, V. V. Fedorov, A. S. Hedayat, J.

Some aficionados who prefer class-A amplifiers also prefer the use of thermionic valve ( or " tube ") designs instead of transistors, especially in Single-ended triode output configurations for several claimed reasons:

Some of Cheney's motorcycle designs are now famous in their own right, such as the competition BSA Gold Stars of Jerry Scott and Keith Hickman and the John Banks replica which used a BSA B50 engine specially tuned by Cheney.

Some complex flag designs are not intended for through and through implementation, requiring separate obverse and reverse sides if made correctly.

* Some stained glass designs by Ford Madox Brown

Some older or high-end instruments have inlays made of mother of pearl, abalone, ivory, colored wood or other exotic materials and designs.

Some combination or hybrid bits combine direct pressure and leverage, such as the Kimblewick or Kimberwicke, which adds slight leverage to a two-rein design that resembles a snaffle ; and the four rein designs such as the single mouthpiece Pelham bit and the double bridle, which places a curb and a snaffle bit simultaneously in the horse's mouth.

Some later ram designs in the UK called compound rams were designed to pump treated water using an untreated drive water source, which overcomes some of the problems of having drinking water sourced from an open stream.

Some modern and experimental comb designs are complex in the way that they direct the air.

Some former Soviet scientists said they were actually hampered by Fuchs's data, because Beria insisted that their first bomb (" Joe 1 ") should resemble the American plutonium bomb (" Fat Man ") as much as possible, even though the scientists had discovered a number of improvements and different designs for a more efficient weapon.

Some of those designs proved a success, whilst others fared less well when practically tested.

Some designs of these scatterable mines require an electrical charge ( capacitor or battery ) to detonate.

Some well known designs that have this capability include JPEG 2000 for still images and H. 264 / MPEG-4 AVC based Scalable Video Coding for video.

Some small form factor computers and home theater PCs designed for quiet and energy-efficient operation boast fan-less designs.

Some of the latest designs ( such as the German Puma ) are intended to allow a light, basic model vehicle which is air-transportable to be fitted in the field with additional protection, thereby ensuring both strategic flexibility and survivability.

Some designs include general-purpose microprocessor cores, with one or more ROM, RAM, or I / O functions integrated onto the package.
