How to get Processor and Motherboard Id?
I used the code from http://www.rgagnon.com/javadetails/java-0580.html to get Motherboard Id, but the result is "null". How can that be? Also I modified the code a bit to look like this to get ProcessorId: "Set objWMIService = GetObject(\"winmgmts:\\\\.\\root\\cimv2\")\n"+ "Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery _ \n"+ ...

How to get CPU usage statistics on Android?
I want to get the overall CPU usage on Android, similar to what Windows' Task Manager does. I can parse the output of the top program included in Android, but if there is a API call that does the same thing, it would be better. Any pointers? ...
Programming for Multi core Processors
As far as I know, the multi-core architecture in a processor does not effect the program. The actual instruction execution is handled in a lower layer. my question is, Given that you have a multicore environment, Can I use any programming practices to utilize the available resources more effectively? How should I change my code to gai...

32 vs 64 bit...or, what exactly does 'processing information' mean
I am having trouble understanding the difference between a 32 bit processor and 64 bit processor. I know that a 32 bit processor can access 32 bits at a time while a 64 bit processor can access 64 bits at a time. But what exactly does it mean to access a certain number of bits at one time? ...

Processor architecture
While HDDs evolve and offer more and more space on less room, why are we "sticking with" 32-bit or 64-bit? Why can't there be a e.g.: 128-bit processor? (This is not my homework; I'm just a student interested beyond the things they teach us in informatics) ...
Why doesn't my processor have built-in BigInt support?
As far as I understood it, BigInts are usually implemented in most programming languages as arrays containing digits, where, eg.: when adding two of them, each digit is added one after another like we know it from school, e.g.: 246 816 * * ---- 1062 Where * marks that there was an overflow. I learned it this way at school and all B...

The Cleanest Reset for an ARM Processor
Lately, I've been cleaning up some some C code that runs on an ARM7 controller. In some situations (upgrade, fatal error, etc...) the program will perform a reset. Presently it just jumps to 0 and assumes that the start-up code will reinitialize everything correctly. It got me to thinking about what would be the best procedure a la "Leav...
