141-514: The Terminator , also known as a Cyberdyne Systems Model 101 or the T-800 , is the name of several film characters from the Terminator franchise portrayed by Arnold Schwarzenegger . The Terminator himself is part of a series of machines created by Skynet , an artificial intelligence, for infiltration -based surveillance and assassination missions. While an android for his appearance, he

282-430: A computer program , such as arithmetic , logic, controlling, and input/output (I/O) operations. This role contrasts with that of external components, such as main memory and I/O circuitry, and specialized coprocessors such as graphics processing units (GPUs). The form, design , and implementation of CPUs have changed over time, but their fundamental operation remains almost unchanged. Principal components of

423-515: A grenade launcher to destroy him. Prior to the film's events, Cyberdyne Systems had recovered a forearm and the damaged CPU chip from the Terminator in 1984 and used those components to radically advance its research and technology, which will eventually lead to the creation of Skynet in 1997. In Terminator 2 , John steals the items from Cyberdyne's research lab and later throws them into the vat to destroy them. Because he cannot self-terminate,

564-462: A CPU include the arithmetic–logic unit (ALU) that performs arithmetic and logic operations , processor registers that supply operands to the ALU and store the results of ALU operations, and a control unit that orchestrates the fetching (from memory) , decoding and execution (of instructions) by directing the coordinated operations of the ALU, registers, and other components. Modern CPUs devote

705-486: A CPU may also contain memory , peripheral interfaces, and other components of a computer; such integrated devices are variously called microcontrollers or systems on a chip (SoC). Early computers such as the ENIAC had to be physically rewired to perform different tasks, which caused these machines to be called "fixed-program computers". The "central processing unit" term has been in use since as early as 1955. Since

846-517: A T-1000. After her parents are killed, the T-800 becomes her surrogate father and raises her to prepare for her future destiny, similar to the relationship between the Terminator and the young John Connor in Terminator 2 . The T-800, which Sarah refers to as "Pops", has experienced an unprecedented level of emotional development, to the extent that he keeps her childhood drawings and photographs. In

987-402: A cache had only one level of cache; unlike later level 1 caches, it was not split into L1d (for data) and L1i (for instructions). Almost all current CPUs with caches have a split L1 cache. They also have L2 caches and, for larger processors, L3 caches as well. The L2 cache is usually not split and acts as a common repository for the already split L1 cache. Every core of a multi-core processor has

1128-454: A character requires an analysis of its relations with all of the other characters in the work. The individual status of a character is defined through the network of oppositions (proairetic, pragmatic , linguistic , proxemic ) that it forms with the other characters. The relation between characters and the action of the story shifts historically, often miming shifts in society and its ideas about human individuality, self-determination , and

1269-438: A character using the basic character archetypes which are common to many cultural traditions: the father figure , mother figure, hero , and so on. Some writers make use of archetypes as presented by Carl Jung as the basis for character traits. Generally, when an archetype from some system (such as Jung's) is used, elements of the story also follow the system's expectations in terms of storyline . An author can also create

1410-400: A code from the control unit indicating which operation to perform. Depending on the instruction being executed, the operands may come from internal CPU registers , external memory, or constants generated by the ALU itself. When all input signals have settled and propagated through the ALU circuitry, the result of the performed operation appears at the ALU's outputs. The result consists of both

1551-461: A data word, which may be stored in a register or memory, and status information that is typically stored in a special, internal CPU register reserved for this purpose. Modern CPUs typically contain more than one ALU to improve performance. The address generation unit (AGU), sometimes also called the address computation unit (ACU), is an execution unit inside the CPU that calculates addresses used by

1692-458: A dedicated L2 cache and is usually not shared between the cores. The L3 cache, and higher-level caches, are shared between the cores and are not split. An L4 cache is currently uncommon, and is generally on dynamic random-access memory (DRAM), rather than on static random-access memory (SRAM), on a separate die or chip. That was also the case historically with L1, while bigger chips have allowed integration of it and generally all cache levels, with

1833-497: A direct sequel to Judgment Day , Schwarzenegger plays a T-800 called "Carl". Originally one of a series of Terminators sent back by Skynet to kill John Connor prior to its erasure, the Terminator that would become Carl successfully tracked down and killed John in Livingston, Guatemala in 1998. With his sole mission complete and with Skynet no longer existing, the T-800 is left purposeless. In time, he became self-aware, realized he

1974-460: A distinction between the individuals represented in tragedy and in comedy arose: tragedy, along with epic poetry , is "a representation of serious people" (1449b9—10), while comedy is "a representation of people who are rather inferior" (1449a32—33). In the Tractatus coislinianus (which may or may not be by Aristotle), Ancient Greek comedy is defined as involving three types of characters:

2115-429: A fictional character using generic stock characters , which are generally flat. They tend to be used for supporting or minor characters. However, some authors have used stock characters as the starting point for building richly detailed characters, such as William Shakespeare 's use of the boastful soldier character as the basis for John Falstaff . Some authors create charactonyms for their characters. A charactonym

2256-564: A global clock signal. Two notable examples of this are the ARM compliant AMULET and the MIPS R3000 compatible MiniMIPS. Rather than totally removing the clock signal, some CPU designs allow certain portions of the device to be asynchronous, such as using asynchronous ALUs in conjunction with superscalar pipelining to achieve some arithmetic performance gains. While it is not altogether clear whether totally asynchronous designs can perform at

2397-686: A group of punks it encounters. In Terminator 2: Judgment Day , the character states, "The more contact I have with humans, the more I learn." A deleted scene from the second film, restored in the Special Edition, provides more backstory on the Terminator's learning ability; the character says that Terminators are set to read-only , a measure taken by Skynet to prevent them from "thinking too much". Sarah and John then activate his learning ability, after which he becomes more curious and begins trying to understand and imitate human behavior. He ultimately learns "the value of human life" as mused by Sarah in

2538-454: A human being. It added a great touch of sensitivity and sweetness to the whole movie." Terminator 2: Judgment Day was released in 1991, and produced another catchphrase for Schwarzenegger's character: " Hasta la vista, baby ". Cameron had no involvement in the next two films. Schwarzenegger initially refused to star in a third film without the involvement of Cameron, who later advised Schwarzenegger to reconsider. He eventually agreed to reprise

2679-462: A human who had the same appearance, stating "it has flashed through my mind that there has to have been a prototype. [...] Now, the question is, did that person have some sort of meaning to Skynet on why they chose that one? Or was it like a whole rack of Terminators and the one that happened to be the Arnold model just happened to be closest to the door going out to the time displacement center and all

2820-460: A hundred or more gates, was to build them using a metal–oxide–semiconductor (MOS) semiconductor manufacturing process (either PMOS logic , NMOS logic , or CMOS logic). However, some companies continued to build processors out of bipolar transistor–transistor logic (TTL) chips because bipolar junction transistors were faster than MOS chips up until the 1970s (a few companies such as Datapoint continued to build processors out of TTL chips until

2961-522: A lot of semiconductor area to caches and instruction-level parallelism to increase performance and to CPU modes to support operating systems and virtualization . Most modern CPUs are implemented on integrated circuit (IC) microprocessors , with one or more CPUs on a single IC chip. Microprocessor chips with multiple CPUs are called multi-core processors . The individual physical CPUs, called processor cores , can also be multithreaded to support CPU-level multithreading. An IC that contains

3102-411: A memory management unit, translating logical addresses into physical RAM addresses, providing memory protection and paging abilities, useful for virtual memory . Simpler processors, especially microcontrollers , usually don't include an MMU. A CPU cache is a hardware cache used by the central processing unit (CPU) of a computer to reduce the average cost (time or energy) to access data from

3243-462: A metallic entity holding kitchen knives. Orion executive Mike Medavoy , in a phone call with Cameron, suggested that O. J. Simpson play the role of the Terminator, with Arnold Schwarzenegger as Kyle Reese . Cameron later recalled: "Gale Hurd and I looked at each other like that was the stupidest thing we'd ever heard in our lives. And I told him on that phone call, 'It's not O.J. Simpson. We're not doing that.'" Cameron also felt that Schwarzenegger

3384-459: A number that identifies the address of the next instruction to be fetched. After an instruction is fetched, the PC is incremented by the length of the instruction so that it will contain the address of the next instruction in the sequence. Often, the instruction to be fetched must be retrieved from relatively slow memory, causing the CPU to stall while waiting for the instruction to be returned. This issue

3525-436: A popular catchphrase, although Schwarzenegger had difficulty saying it due to his accent. After finishing the first film, Schwarzenegger suggested to Cameron that they make a sequel. An early idea for the next installment would have Schwarzenegger portraying two different T-800s from the future, one sent by Skynet to kill John Connor and the other sent by the resistance to protect him. However, co-writer William Wisher disliked

3666-554: A time. Some CPU architectures include multiple AGUs so more than one address-calculation operation can be executed simultaneously, which brings further performance improvements due to the superscalar nature of advanced CPU designs. For example, Intel incorporates multiple AGUs into its Sandy Bridge and Haswell microarchitectures , which increase bandwidth of the CPU memory subsystem by allowing multiple memory-access instructions to be executed in parallel. Many microprocessors (in smartphones and desktop, laptop, server computers) have

3807-446: A useful computer requires thousands or tens of thousands of switching devices. The overall speed of a system is dependent on the speed of the switches. Vacuum-tube computers such as EDVAC tended to average eight hours between failures, whereas relay computers—such as the slower but earlier Harvard Mark I —failed very rarely. In the end, tube-based CPUs became dominant because the significant speed advantages afforded generally outweighed

3948-439: A very small number of ICs; usually just one. The overall smaller CPU size, as a result of being implemented on a single die, means faster switching time because of physical factors like decreased gate parasitic capacitance . This has allowed synchronous microprocessors to have clock rates ranging from tens of megahertz to several gigahertz. Additionally, the ability to construct exceedingly small transistors on an IC has increased

4089-407: Is Schwarzenegger's best-known role, and resulted in two catchphrases, " I'll be back " and " Hasta la vista, baby ", used in the first and second film respectively. A Terminator is an infiltration-based assassin, described in the films as a cybernetic organism. They are built in the future by Skynet , an artificial intelligence engaged in a war against humans. Often known as a T-800, the T-800 series

4230-458: Is a "walk-on", a term used by Seymour Chatman for characters that are not fully delineated and individualized; rather they are part of the background or the setting of the narrative. Dynamic characters are those that change over the course of the story, while static characters remain the same throughout. An example of a popular dynamic character in literature is Ebenezer Scrooge , the protagonist of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. At

4371-598: Is a name that implies the psychological makeup of the person, makes an allegorical allusion, or makes reference to their appearance. For example, Shakespeare has an emotional young male character named Mercutio , John Steinbeck has a kind, sweet character named Candy in Of Mice and Men , and Mervyn Peake has a Machiavellian, manipulative, and murderous villain in Gormenghast named Steerpike . The charactonym can also indicate appearance. For example, François Rabelais gave

4512-532: Is also designed to destroy other Terminators. The T-101 is powered by two hydrogen fuel cells, one of which he discards after being damaged by the T-X. Eventually, the T-X uses her nanites to take control of the T-101's autonomous functions, sending him to kill John and Kate. Since the T-101's core consciousness is still intact and he just lacks physical control of his body, John is able to incite him to shut down by noting

4653-721: Is also used in Terminator Genisys . Because the Terminator is portrayed by Arnold Schwarzenegger , the character is sometimes referred to as the Arnold Terminator, distinguishing from other Terminators played by different actors. Some of the Terminators portrayed by Schwarzenegger are also given on-screen nicknames. In Terminator 2 , John Connor introduces the Model 101 to his mother's friends as his "Uncle Bob". In Terminator Genisys , Sarah Connor refers to

4794-400: Is defined by the CPU's instruction set architecture (ISA). Often, one group of bits (that is, a "field") within the instruction, called the opcode, indicates which operation is to be performed, while the remaining fields usually provide supplemental information required for the operation, such as the operands. Those operands may be specified as a constant value (called an immediate value), or as

4935-463: Is free from Skynet, assumed the name Carl, and began exhibiting behavior much like humans. Months after killing John, Carl experienced compassion towards an abused woman, Alicia, and made a choice of rescuing her and her child, Mateo, from her uncaring husband. Carl becomes a father figure to Mateo, although his relationship with Alicia is non-sexual. Carl's role as a family man gave him some idea of what had taken from Sarah when he murdered her son, and

5076-494: Is generally referred to as the " classic RISC pipeline ", which is quite common among the simple CPUs used in many electronic devices (often called microcontrollers). It largely ignores the important role of CPU cache, and therefore the access stage of the pipeline. Some instructions manipulate the program counter rather than producing result data directly; such instructions are generally called "jumps" and facilitate program behavior like loops , conditional program execution (through

5217-483: Is greater or whether they are equal; one of these flags could then be used by a later jump instruction to determine program flow. Fetch involves retrieving an instruction (which is represented by a number or sequence of numbers) from program memory. The instruction's location (address) in program memory is determined by the program counter (PC; called the "instruction pointer" in Intel x86 microprocessors ), which stores

5358-478: Is known as a type. Types include both stock characters and those that are more fully individualized . The characters in Henrik Ibsen 's Hedda Gabler (1891) and August Strindberg 's Miss Julie (1888), for example, are representative of specific positions in the social relations of class and gender , such that the conflicts between the characters reveal ideological conflicts. The study of

5499-400: Is largely addressed in modern processors by caches and pipeline architectures (see below). The instruction that the CPU fetches from memory determines what the CPU will do. In the decode step, performed by binary decoder circuitry known as the instruction decoder , the instruction is converted into signals that control other parts of the CPU. The way in which the instruction is interpreted

5640-530: Is most often credited with the design of the stored-program computer because of his design of EDVAC, and the design became known as the von Neumann architecture , others before him, such as Konrad Zuse , had suggested and implemented similar ideas. The so-called Harvard architecture of the Harvard Mark I , which was completed before EDVAC, also used a stored-program design using punched paper tape rather than electronic memory. The key difference between

5781-456: Is not attested in OED until mC18: 'Whatever characters any... have for the jestsake personated... are now thrown off' (1749, Fielding, Tom Jones ). Central processing unit A central processing unit ( CPU ), also called a central processor , main processor , or just processor , is the most important processor in a given computer . Its electronic circuitry executes instructions of

5922-496: Is possible, therefore, to have stories that do not contain "characters" in Aristotle's sense of the word, since character necessarily involves making the ethical dispositions of those performing the action clear. If, in speeches, the speaker "decides or avoids nothing at all", then those speeches "do not have character" (1450b9—11). Aristotle argues for the primacy of plot ( mythos ) over character ( ethos ). He writes: But

6063-623: Is preceded by an earlier model known as the T-600 series, which used artificial rubber skin and was easily spotted by members of the human resistance. T-800 models are all identical in appearance: a muscular, male human exterior made up of living tissue, covering a metal endoskeleton actuated by a powerful network of hydraulic servomechanisms , which provide superhuman strength . In the Terminator sequels, armies of skinless T-800 endoskeletons are shown to be used by Skynet during future war sequences, serving as soldiers rather than infiltrators. With

6204-520: Is programmed to follow John's orders and works with the Connors to prevent Judgment Day ; John also prohibits him from killing innocent humans who stand in their way, so the cyborg instead uses non-lethal force. During his time with the Connors, this Model 101 is taught how to speak in slang -like terms, such as " Hasta la vista, baby ", and encouraged to act more human, to the point that he develops into an almost fatherly role for John. Sarah reflects that

6345-488: Is prone to aging and injury related deterioration, but can heal itself with enough time. According to early drafts for the original film, a Terminator must consume small amounts of food to maintain the human skin, a detail that is absent in the finished film. A Terminator can withstand normal 20th century firearms , crash through walls with little to no damage, and survive explosions to some degree. Repeated shotgun blasts have enough force to knock down and temporarily disable

6486-580: Is referred to as a "T-101". This name also occurs throughout the T2 novels . A slight variation, "T101", was used as early as 1991, in the Amstrad CPC and ZX Spectrum versions of the Terminator 2 computer game . The name "T-800" had been used off-screen in news articles and reviews for Terminator 2 , differentiating from the film's other Terminator character, the T-1000 . The T-800's heads-up display in

6627-421: Is that they don't have to be logical. They just have to have plausibility." Schwarzenegger prepared for the role with three months of weapons training. Cameron believed that Schwarzenegger's Austrian accent and deadpan delivery worked well in the film: "It had a strange synthesized quality, like they hadn't gotten the voice thing quite worked out." One of the Terminator's lines in the film, " I'll be back ", became

6768-737: Is the IBM PowerPC -based Xenon used in the Xbox 360 ; this reduces the power requirements of the Xbox 360. Another method of addressing some of the problems with a global clock signal is the removal of the clock signal altogether. 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. While somewhat uncommon, entire asynchronous CPUs have been built without using

6909-499: Is usually described as a cyborg consisting of living tissue over a robotic endoskeleton . The first appearance of the Terminator was as the eponymous main antagonist in The Terminator , a 1984 film directed and co-written by James Cameron . While the original Terminator was destroyed, other machines with the same appearance are featured in the sequels. In Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) and Terminator 3: Rise of

7050-488: The IBM z13 has a 96 KiB L1 instruction cache. Most CPUs are synchronous circuits , which means they employ a clock signal to pace their sequential operations. The clock signal is produced by an external oscillator circuit that generates a consistent number of pulses each second in the form of a periodic square wave . The frequency of the clock pulses determines the rate at which a CPU executes instructions and, consequently,

7191-546: The Manchester Mark 1 ran its first program during the night of 16–17 June 1949. Early CPUs were custom designs used as part of a larger and sometimes distinctive computer. However, this method of designing custom CPUs for a particular application has largely given way to the development of multi-purpose processors produced in large quantities. This standardization began in the era of discrete transistor mainframes and minicomputers , and has rapidly accelerated with

7332-459: The Terminator franchise. He is parodied in the side-scrolling shooter game Broforce (2015) as a playable character called the Brominator, with his appearance referencing Schwarzenegger. The T-800 is also a guest playable character in the 2019 fighting game Mortal Kombat 11 , available through the game's Kombat Pack bundle of downloadable content . Schwarzenegger's likeness is used for

7473-467: The buffoon ( bômolochus ), the ironist ( eirōn ), and the imposter or boaster ( alazṓn ). All three are central to Aristophanes ' Old Comedy . By the time the Roman comic playwright Plautus wrote his plays two centuries later, the use of characters to define dramatic genres was well established. His Amphitryon begins with a prologue in which Mercury claims that since

7614-474: The main memory . A cache is a smaller, faster memory, closer to a processor core , which stores copies of the data from frequently used main memory locations . Most CPUs have different independent caches, including instruction and data caches , where the data cache is usually organized as a hierarchy of more cache levels (L1, L2, L3, L4, etc.). All modern (fast) CPUs (with few specialized exceptions ) have multiple levels of CPU caches. The first CPUs that used

7755-446: The social order . In fiction writing , authors create dynamic characters using various methods. Sometimes characters are conjured up from imagination; in other instances, they are created by amplifying the character trait of a real person into a new fictional creation. An author or creator basing a character on a real person can use a person they know, a historical figure, a current figure whom they have not met, or themselves, with

7896-453: The AGU, various address-generation calculations can be offloaded from the rest of the CPU, and can often be executed quickly in a single CPU cycle. Capabilities of an AGU depend on a particular CPU and its architecture . Thus, some AGUs implement and expose more address-calculation operations, while some also include more advanced specialized instructions that can operate on multiple operands at

8037-431: The ALU's output word size), an arithmetic overflow flag will be set, influencing the next operation. Hardwired into a CPU's circuitry is a set of basic operations it can perform, called an instruction set . Such operations may involve, for example, adding or subtracting two numbers, comparing two numbers, or jumping to a different part of a program. Each instruction is represented by a unique combination of bits , known as

8178-468: The CPU can fetch the data from actual memory locations. Those address-generation calculations involve different integer arithmetic operations , such as addition, subtraction, modulo operations , or bit shifts . Often, calculating a memory address involves more than one general-purpose machine instruction, which do not necessarily decode and execute quickly. By incorporating an AGU into a CPU design, together with introducing specialized instructions that use

8319-479: The CPU to access main memory . By having address calculations handled by separate circuitry that operates in parallel with the rest of the CPU, the number of CPU cycles required for executing various machine instructions can be reduced, bringing performance improvements. While performing various operations, CPUs need to calculate memory addresses required for fetching data from the memory; for example, in-memory positions of array elements must be calculated before

8460-422: The CPU to malfunction. Another major issue, as clock rates increase dramatically, is the amount of heat that is dissipated by the CPU . The constantly changing clock causes many components to switch regardless of whether they are being used at that time. In general, a component that is switching uses more energy than an element in a static state. Therefore, as clock rate increases, so does energy consumption, causing

8601-467: The CPU to require more heat dissipation in the form of CPU cooling solutions. One method of dealing with the switching of unneeded components is called clock gating , which involves turning off the clock signal to unneeded components (effectively disabling them). However, this is often regarded as difficult to implement and therefore does not see common usage outside of very low-power designs. One notable recent CPU design that uses extensive clock gating

8742-463: The Machines (2003), Schwarzenegger's Terminator serves as the main protagonist, while in Terminator Genisys (2015) and Terminator: Dark Fate (2019), he serves as a supporting protagonist, and is pitted against other Terminators sent by Skynet and its successor Legion. In Terminator Salvation (2009) and Dark Fate , the character also appears briefly as an antagonist. In the context of

8883-463: The Model 101 has Sarah lower him into the steel in order to destroy his CPU as well and thus prevent the technology from being used to create Skynet. Despite the events of the second film, Judgment Day was merely delayed. A T-101 Terminator is eventually reprogrammed by the human resistance and sent to the 2000s, this time to protect John Connor ( Nick Stahl ) and his future wife Kate Brewster ( Claire Danes ) from Skynet's T-X ( Kristanna Loken ), which

9024-465: The Model 101 is the first male figure John has ever had in his life who can be guaranteed to always be there for him. The T-1000 chases the trio into a steel mill and overpowers the Model 101 in hand-to-hand combat, impaling him through the chest and destroying his main power supply. However, the Model 101 activates a backup power source, frees himself, and blasts the T-1000 into a vat of molten steel with

9165-576: The Rev-9 in a hydro-electric dam, where Grace and Carl sacrifice themselves to stop him. Carl's last words are "For John", a message he always included in his text messages to Sarah. Schwarzenegger reprised the role in the music video for " You Could Be Mine ", a 1991 song by Guns N' Roses that is featured in Terminator 2 . He also reprised the role for a theme park attraction known as T2-3D: Battle Across Time , which opened in 1996. The character has also made appearances in numerous video games outside of

9306-535: The Skynet base in San Francisco. John holds his own with his advanced weaponry, but is unable to stop the Terminator until the latter is drenched in molten metal and then liquid nitrogen, freezing him temporarily. As John begins planting hydrogen fuel cells, cyborg prototype Marcus Wright ( Sam Worthington ) arrives to stall the T-800. The Terminator is able to incapacitate Marcus long enough to stab John through

9447-409: The T-800 as "Pops", while the end credits list him as "Guardian". In Terminator: Dark Fate , the character goes by the name "Carl". In the Terminator 2 DVD commentary, director and franchise creator James Cameron states that all Model 101s look like Schwarzenegger, with a 102 resembling someone else, leading to fan speculation that the 101 refers to the physical appearance while the 800 refers to

9588-501: The Terminator in the second film, Pops has been prohibited from killing humans. After Kyle Reese's ( Jai Courtney ) arrival in 1984, the trio defeat the T-1000 ( Lee Byung-hun ). Later, in 2017, they battle John Connor ( Jason Clarke ), who has been transformed into a T-3000 tasked to ensure Skynet's rise. After multiple confrontations, Pops attempts to sacrifice himself to destroy the T-3000, telling Kyle Reese, "Protect my Sarah". During

A Model 101 is reprogrammed by the future John Connor ( Michael Edwards ), and sent back to 1995 to protect young John ( Edward Furlong ) from a T-1000 ( Robert Patrick ), an advanced shapeshifting Terminator made of liquid metal that has been dispatched to kill him. The Model 101

Terminator Genisys follows the early events of the first film before diverging into an alternate timeline, ignoring all previous sequels. In the film, a T-800 was reprogrammed by an unknown party some time in the future and sent to 1973, to protect nine-year-old Sarah Connor ( Emilia Clarke ) from

10152-431: The advent and eventual success of the ubiquitous personal computer , the term CPU is now applied almost exclusively to microprocessors. Several CPUs (denoted cores ) can be combined in a single processing chip. Previous generations of CPUs were implemented as discrete components and numerous small integrated circuits (ICs) on one or more circuit boards. Microprocessors, on the other hand, are CPUs manufactured on

10293-428: The advent of the transistor . Transistorized CPUs during the 1950s and 1960s no longer had to be built out of bulky, unreliable, and fragile switching elements, like vacuum tubes and relays . With this improvement, more complex and reliable CPUs were built onto one or several printed circuit boards containing discrete (individual) components. In 1964, IBM introduced its IBM System/360 computer architecture that

Aristotle suggests that works were distinguished in the first instance according to the nature of the person who created them: "the grander people represented fine actions, i.e. those of fine persons" by producing "hymns and praise-poems", while "ordinary people represented those of inferior ones" by "composing invectives" (1448b20—1449a5). On this basis,

10857-500: The city before finding his target. This allows Kyle Reese ( Michael Biehn ), a soldier sent from 2029 to protect Sarah, to find her before the Terminator does. During several skirmishes, the Terminator withstands contemporary gunfire with only superficial damage to his exterior tissue. He is later caught in a fuel tanker explosion, burning away his flesh covering to expose his mechanical nature and causing minor damage to one of his legs, slowing him down. Kyle sacrifices himself to damage

10998-442: The closing narration of the theatrical cut. Later films in the series further humanize the character. Throughout the series, the Terminator is typically depicted wearing sunglasses and a leather jacket. Another trait persistent throughout the series is the faint red glow of the "eyes" when the cyborg is online; the lack of the glow has been used to show when one is out of action. The Terminator has an Austrian accent but can also copy

11139-564: The complexity and number of transistors in a single CPU many fold. This widely observed trend is described by Moore's law , which had proven to be a fairly accurate predictor of the growth of CPU (and other IC) complexity until 2016. While the complexity, size, construction and general form of CPUs have changed enormously since 1950, the basic design and function has not changed much at all. Almost all common CPUs today can be very accurately described as von Neumann stored-program machines. As Moore's law no longer holds, concerns have arisen about

11280-423: The complexity scale, a machine language program is a collection of machine language instructions that the CPU executes. The actual mathematical operation for each instruction is performed by a combinational logic circuit within the CPU's processor known as the arithmetic–logic unit or ALU. In general, a CPU executes an instruction by fetching it from memory, using its ALU to perform an operation, and then storing

11421-424: The conflict between his current actions and his programmed mission. The T-101 later reboots himself free from the T-X's control. As John and Kate retreat to a bunker to wait out the now-inevitable nuclear war, the T-101 battles the T-X, using his remaining fuel cell to destroy them both in a massive detonation. This T-101 is revealed to have killed John in 2032, having been chosen due to John's emotional attachment to

11562-486: The control unit as part of the von Neumann architecture . In modern computer designs, the control unit is typically an internal part of the CPU with its overall role and operation unchanged since its introduction. The arithmetic logic unit (ALU) is a digital circuit within the processor that performs integer arithmetic and bitwise logic operations. The inputs to the ALU are the data words to be operated on (called operands ), status information from previous operations, and

11703-412: The cyborg, while heavy amounts of automatic fire are able to compromise the organic disguise layer. Terminators can continue functioning even after losing one or more limbs. Reese describes the Terminator's relentlessness to Sarah in the first film: The Terminator's CPU is an artificial neural network with the ability to learn and adapt . For instance, in the original film, he learns how to swear from

11844-453: The desired operation. The action is then completed, typically in response to a clock pulse. Very often the results are written to an internal CPU register for quick access by subsequent instructions. In other cases results may be written to slower, but less expensive and higher capacity main memory . For example, if an instruction that performs addition is to be executed, registers containing operands (numbers to be summed) are activated, as are

11985-429: The drawbacks of globally synchronous CPUs. For example, a clock signal is subject to the delays of any other electrical signal. Higher clock rates in increasingly complex CPUs make it more difficult to keep the clock signal in phase (synchronized) throughout the entire unit. This has led many modern CPUs to require multiple identical clock signals to be provided to avoid delaying a single signal significantly enough to cause

12126-586: The earliest surviving work of dramatic theory , Poetics ( c.  335 BCE ), the Classical Greek philosopher Aristotle states that character ( ethos ) is one of six qualitative parts of Athenian tragedy and one of the three objects that it represents (1450a12). He understands character not to denote a fictional person, but the quality of the person acting in the story and reacting to its situations (1450a5). He defines character as "that which reveals decision , of whatever sort" (1450b8). It

12267-453: The early 1980s). In the 1960s, MOS ICs were slower and initially considered useful only in applications that required low power. Following the development of silicon-gate MOS technology by Federico Faggin at Fairchild Semiconductor in 1968, MOS ICs largely replaced bipolar TTL as the standard chip technology in the early 1970s. As the microelectronic technology advanced, an increasing number of transistors were placed on ICs, decreasing

12408-413: The endoskeleton common to many models. The origin of the Terminator's physical and vocal templates is provided in the 2001 novel T2: Infiltrator , in the form of former counter-terrorist Dieter von Rossbach, who meets and joins forces with the Connors in the present. The novel reveals that he was never questioned about the Terminators' actions, as his superiors always knew that he was somewhere else during

12549-578: The era of specialized supercomputers like those made by Cray Inc and Fujitsu Ltd . During this period, a method of manufacturing many interconnected transistors in a compact space was developed. The integrated circuit (IC) allowed a large number of transistors to be manufactured on a single semiconductor -based die , or "chip". At first, only very basic non-specialized digital circuits such as NOR gates were miniaturized into ICs. CPUs based on these "building block" ICs are generally referred to as "small-scale integration" (SSI) devices. SSI ICs, such as

12690-567: The exception of Terminator Genisys . The Model 101 is sent back in time from 2029 to 1984 to terminate Sarah Connor ( Linda Hamilton ), thereby preventing the birth of her son, John Connor , the future leader of the Human Resistance. Lack of surviving records in the future meant that he was limited to only knowing Sarah's name and that she lived in Los Angeles at the time, with the result that he killed two other Sarah Connors in

12831-503: The execution of an instruction, the entire process repeats, with the next instruction cycle normally fetching the next-in-sequence instruction because of the incremented value in the program counter . If a jump instruction was executed, the program counter will be modified to contain the address of the instruction that was jumped to and program execution continues normally. In more complex CPUs, multiple instructions can be fetched, decoded and executed simultaneously. This section describes what

12972-426: The exterior appearance applied, they are the first Terminator model capable of blending in with humans; as a result, the resistance began using dogs to detect them. In the first film , a Terminator time travels from 2029 to 1984 to alter the past by killing Sarah Connor , retroactively ensuring victory for Skynet. Kyle Reese , a future soldier sent back to stop the Terminator, describes the latter as such: The skin

13113-401: The faster the clock, the more instructions the CPU will execute each second. To ensure proper operation of the CPU, the clock period is longer than the maximum time needed for all signals to propagate (move) through the CPU. In setting the clock period to a value well above the worst-case propagation delay , it is possible to design the entire CPU and the way it moves data around the "edges" of

13254-411: The film specifically identifies him as a "Cyberdyne Systems Series 800 Model 101 Version 2.4". The novelization of the third film refers to the character by a different designation: a T-850 rather than a T-101, described as a newer, upgraded version of the T-800. Both T-800 and T-850 were used in merchandising for the film series. Terminator Salvation has the first on-screen usage of the term T-800, which

13395-457: The film, it is speculated that the knowledge of who sent Pops back was deliberately erased from his memory so that Skynet ( Matt Smith ) could not track them down later. Pops integrates into human society, and at one point obtains a job as a construction worker to build the headquarters for Cyberdyne Systems. Throughout the film, he struggles with physical limitations due to increasing age, but states several times that he is, "Old, not obsolete." Like

13536-431: The idea of identical Terminators fighting, which he found "boring". The antagonistic T-800 was eventually replaced by the T-1000 . Schwarzenegger was initially hesitant about his role being switched to a protagonist for the sequel, an idea which Cameron devised in order to surprise audiences. Schwarzenegger later said, "I was very pleased with the twist and the idea of making the Terminator not kill anybody and become more of

13677-559: The individual transistors used by the PDP-8 and PDP-10 to SSI ICs, and their extremely popular PDP-11 line was originally built with SSI ICs, but was eventually implemented with LSI components once these became practical. Lee Boysel published influential articles, including a 1967 "manifesto", which described how to build the equivalent of a 32-bit mainframe computer from a relatively small number of large-scale integration circuits (LSI). The only way to build LSI chips, which are chips with

13818-443: The initial version of Call of Duty: Warzone (2020) as playable operators. Both characters also make a parody appearance in the 2015 comedy film Hollywood Adventures . The Terminator concept was conceived by James Cameron , who directed and co-wrote the first film. It was produced by Gale Anne Hurd and released by Orion Pictures in 1984. The character was inspired by a fever dream that Cameron had two years earlier, involving

13959-546: The latter being either an author-surrogate or an example of self-insertion . The use of a famous person easily identifiable with certain character traits as the base for a principal character is a feature of allegorical works, such as Animal Farm by George Orwell, which portrays Soviet revolutionaries as pigs. Other authors, especially for historical fiction , make use of real people and create fictional stories revolving around their lives, as with The Paris Wife which revolves around Ernest Hemingway . An author can create

14100-439: The limits of integrated circuit transistor technology. Extreme miniaturization of electronic gates is causing the effects of phenomena like electromigration and subthreshold leakage to become much more significant. These newer concerns are among the many factors causing researchers to investigate new methods of computing such as the quantum computer , as well as to expand the use of parallelism and other methods that extend

14241-408: The location of a value that may be a processor register or a memory address, as determined by some addressing mode . In some CPU designs, the instruction decoder is implemented as a hardwired, unchangeable binary decoder circuit. In others, a microprogram is used to translate instructions into sets of CPU configuration signals that are applied sequentially over multiple clock pulses. In some cases

14382-406: The machine language opcode . While processing an instruction, the CPU decodes the opcode (via a binary decoder ) into control signals, which orchestrate the behavior of the CPU. A complete machine language instruction consists of an opcode and, in many cases, additional bits that specify arguments for the operation (for example, the numbers to be summed in the case of an addition operation). Going up

14523-578: The memory of John's death torments Carl to the point of being repentant. At some point, Carl established a drapery business in Laredo, Texas , where the family lives in a cabin. Over twenty years, Carl has aged significantly and his human social skills have improved. Since John's death, Carl used his awareness of "chrono displacements" and sent Sarah text messages with the GPS coordinates of where and when other time-traveling Terminators would arrive. Carl's intention

14664-421: The memory that stores the microprogram is rewritable, making it possible to change the way in which the CPU decodes instructions. After the fetch and decode steps, the execute step is performed. Depending on the CPU architecture, this may consist of a single action or a sequence of actions. During each action, control signals electrically enable or disable various parts of the CPU so they can perform all or part of

14805-406: The most important of these is the structure of the incidents. For (i) tragedy is a representation not of human beings but of action and life. Happiness and unhappiness lie in action, and the end [of life] is a sort of action, not a quality; people are of a certain sort according to their characters, but happy or the opposite according to their actions. So [the actors] do not act in order to represent

14946-642: The name Gargantua to a giant and the huge whale in Pinocchio (1940) is named Monstro . In his book Aspects of the Novel , E. M. Forster defined two basic types of characters, their qualities, functions, and importance for the development of the novel: flat characters and round characters. Flat characters are two-dimensional, in that they are relatively uncomplicated. By contrast, round characters are complex figures with many different characteristics, that undergo development, sometimes sufficiently to surprise

15087-406: The narrative structure, unlike core characters, for which any significant conflict must be traced during a considerable time, which is often seen as an unjustified waste of resources. There may also be a continuing or recurring guest character. Sometimes a guest or minor character may gain unanticipated popularity and turn into a regular or main one; this is known as a breakout character . In

15228-710: The number of individual ICs needed for a complete CPU. MSI and LSI ICs increased transistor counts to hundreds, and then thousands. By 1968, the number of ICs required to build a complete CPU had been reduced to 24 ICs of eight different types, with each IC containing roughly 1000 MOSFETs. In stark contrast with its SSI and MSI predecessors, the first LSI implementation of the PDP-11 contained a CPU composed of only four LSI integrated circuits. Since microprocessors were first introduced they have almost completely overtaken all other central processing unit implementation methods. The first commercially available microprocessor, made in 1971,

15369-583: The ones used in the Apollo Guidance Computer , usually contained up to a few dozen transistors. To build an entire CPU out of SSI ICs required thousands of individual chips, but still consumed much less space and power than earlier discrete transistor designs. IBM's System/370 , follow-on to the System/360, used SSI ICs rather than Solid Logic Technology discrete-transistor modules. DEC's PDP-8 /I and KI10 PDP-10 also switched from

15510-406: The others looked different? I've asked myself these questions but it's never been resolved". The Terminator appears in all six films of the franchise, each one featuring a different individual with the same likeness. The Terminator is an antagonist in the original film, and generally portrayed as a protagonist in the sequels. Every iteration of the character is destroyed at the end of each film, with

15651-409: The parts of the arithmetic logic unit (ALU) that perform addition. When the clock pulse occurs, the operands flow from the source registers into the ALU, and the sum appears at its output. On subsequent clock pulses, other components are enabled (and disabled) to move the output (the sum of the operation) to storage (e.g., a register or memory). If the resulting sum is too large (i.e., it is larger than

15792-544: The physical wiring of the computer. This overcame a severe limitation of ENIAC, which was the considerable time and effort required to reconfigure the computer to perform a new task. With von Neumann's design, the program that EDVAC ran could be changed simply by changing the contents of the memory. EDVAC was not the first stored-program computer; the Manchester Baby , which was a small-scale experimental stored-program computer, ran its first program on 21 June 1948 and

15933-459: The play contains kings and gods, it cannot be a comedy and must be a tragicomedy . [...] is first used in English to denote 'a personality in a novel or a play' in 1749 ( The Shorter Oxford English Dictionary , s.v.). Its use as 'the sum of the qualities which constitute an individual' is a mC17 development. The modern literary and theatrical sense of 'an individual created in a fictitious work'

16074-501: The popularization of the integrated circuit (IC). The IC has allowed increasingly complex CPUs to be designed and manufactured to tolerances on the order of nanometers . Both the miniaturization and standardization of CPUs have increased the presence of digital devices in modern life far beyond the limited application of dedicated computing machines. Modern microprocessors appear in electronic devices ranging from automobiles to cellphones, and sometimes even in toys. While von Neumann

16215-473: The possible exception of the last level. Each extra level of cache tends to be bigger and is optimized differently. Other types of caches exist (that are not counted towards the "cache size" of the most important caches mentioned above), such as the translation lookaside buffer (TLB) that is part of the memory management unit (MMU) that most CPUs have. Caches are generally sized in powers of two: 2, 8, 16 etc. KiB or MiB (for larger non-L1) sizes, although

16356-439: The prior, identical-looking model in Terminator 2 . After being captured by the resistance, the T-101 was reprogrammed to follow Kate's orders, as she was the second-in-command prior to John's death. The T-800 ( Roland Kickinger ) has a small role, though once again as an antagonist. Near the end of the film, the T-800 engages John Connor ( Christian Bale ) in battle during John's attempt to rescue Kyle Reese ( Anton Yelchin ) from

16497-451: The processor. It tells the computer's memory, arithmetic and logic unit and input and output devices how to respond to the instructions that have been sent to the processor. It directs the operation of the other units by providing timing and control signals. Most computer resources are managed by the CU. It directs the flow of data between the CPU and the other devices. John von Neumann included

16638-436: The rampages. The reason stated for copying Dieter was that Skynet was looking in the old military files for someone whose body could effectively conceal the Terminator's massive endoskeleton. The voice was provided through Kurt Viemeister, the scientist that taught Skynet its sentience. A different origin is provided in a humorous deleted scene for Terminator 3 , removed by director Jonathan Mostow who found it too comedic. In

16779-481: The reader. In psychological terms, round or complex characters may be considered to have five personality dimensions under the Big Five model of personality. The five factors are: Stock characters are usually one-dimensional and thin. Mary Sues are characters that usually appear in fan fiction which are virtually devoid of flaws, and are therefore considered flat characters. Another type of flat character

16920-478: The reliability problems. Most of these early synchronous CPUs ran at low clock rates compared to modern microelectronic designs. Clock signal frequencies ranging from 100 kHz to 4 MHz were very common at this time, limited largely by the speed of the switching devices they were built with. The design complexity of CPUs increased as various technologies facilitated the building of smaller and more reliable electronic devices. The first such improvement came with

17061-409: The result to memory. Besides the instructions for integer mathematics and logic operations, various other machine instructions exist, such as those for loading data from memory and storing it back, branching operations, and mathematical operations on floating-point numbers performed by the CPU's floating-point unit (FPU). The control unit (CU) is a component of the CPU that directs the operation of

17202-484: The rising and falling clock signal. This has the advantage of simplifying the CPU significantly, both from a design perspective and a component-count perspective. However, it also carries the disadvantage that the entire CPU must wait on its slowest elements, even though some portions of it are much faster. This limitation has largely been compensated for by various methods of increasing CPU parallelism (see below). However, architectural improvements alone do not solve all of

17343-458: The role for Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines , which was released in 2003. In the film, his character is depicted as an obsolete Terminator design compared with the T-X . Director Jonathan Mostow said, "It's always great if you can have your protagonist or hero be completely outmatched." Character (arts) A character who stands as a representative of a particular class or group of people

17484-453: The scene, the Terminator's human appearance is said to be based on that of Chief Master Sergeant William Candy, also portrayed by Schwarzenegger but with a dubbed-over Southern accent , which would be replaced in-universe by the more menacing Austrian-accented voice of one of the developers. When asked in 2017 why all T-800s look the same, Cameron suggested that Skynet had harvested the DNA from

17625-400: The series' run. Recurring characters often play major roles in more than one episode, sometimes being the main focus. A guest or minor character is one who acts only in a few episodes or scenes. Unlike regular characters, the guest ones do not need to be carefully incorporated into the storyline with all its ramifications: they create a piece of drama and then disappear without consequences to

17766-540: The short switching time of a transistor in comparison to a tube or relay. The increased reliability and dramatically increased speed of the switching elements, which were almost exclusively transistors by this time; CPU clock rates in the tens of megahertz were easily obtained during this period. Additionally, while discrete transistor and IC CPUs were in heavy usage, new high-performance designs like single instruction, multiple data (SIMD) vector processors began to appear. These early experimental designs later gave rise to

17907-450: The start of the story, he is a bitter miser, but by the end of the tale, he transforms into a kindhearted, generous man. In television, a regular, main or ongoing character is a character who appears in all or a majority of episodes, or in a significant chain of episodes of the series. Regular characters may be both core and secondary ones. A recurring character or supporting character often and frequently appears from time to time during

18048-496: The stories, the plot device of having various robots looking the same provides a certain continuity for the human characters by exploiting their emotional familiarity with a particular "human" visage associated with each "model". The "Terminator" title is also used as a generic name for other human-simulating characters in the Terminator franchise, such as the liquid-metal T-1000 antagonist in Judgment Day . The Terminator

18189-439: The term "CPU" is generally defined as a device for software (computer program) execution, the earliest devices that could rightly be called CPUs came with the advent of the stored-program computer . The idea of a stored-program computer had been already present in the design of John Presper Eckert and John William Mauchly 's ENIAC , but was initially omitted so that it could be finished sooner. On June 30, 1945, before ENIAC

18330-422: The use of a conditional jump), and existence of functions . In some processors, some other instructions change the state of bits in a "flags" register . These flags can be used to influence how a program behaves, since they often indicate the outcome of various operations. For example, in such processors a "compare" instruction evaluates two values and sets or clears bits in the flags register to indicate which one

18471-431: The usefulness of the classical von Neumann model. The fundamental operation of most CPUs, regardless of the physical form they take, is to execute a sequence of stored instructions that is called a program. The instructions to be executed are kept in some kind of computer memory . Nearly all CPUs follow the fetch, decode and execute steps in their operation, which are collectively known as the instruction cycle . After

18612-400: The voice of others . In the second film , the Terminator states that he can operate for 120 years on his power cell. In the third film , the Terminator is slightly modified, operating on two hydrogen fuel cells ; when damaged, these explode with enough force to produce a small mushroom cloud . This iteration of the character also has an understanding of basic psychology. Commonly known as

18753-616: The von Neumann and Harvard architectures is that the latter separates the storage and treatment of CPU instructions and data, while the former uses the same memory space for both. Most modern CPUs are primarily von Neumann in design, but CPUs with the Harvard architecture are seen as well, especially in embedded applications; for instance, the Atmel AVR microcontrollers are Harvard-architecture processors. Relays and vacuum tubes (thermionic tubes) were commonly used as switching elements;

18894-414: The younger cyborg to pursue Kyle, who blows its head off. The young T-800's endoskeleton is dissolved in hydrochloric acid , and its CPU is used to operate Sarah and the older Terminator's time machine. The CPU is destroyed after the machine's usage, and with the older Terminator's existence concealed, Cyberdyne's plan for an A.I. (eventually named Genisys) is delayed until 2017. In Terminator: Dark Fate ,

19035-538: Was made, mathematician John von Neumann distributed a paper entitled First Draft of a Report on the EDVAC . It was the outline of a stored-program computer that would eventually be completed in August 1949. EDVAC was designed to perform a certain number of instructions (or operations) of various types. Significantly, the programs written for EDVAC were to be stored in high-speed computer memory rather than specified by

19176-402: Was sent to protect Dani, who will later lead the human resistance against Legion. They later meet Carl and learn he had been sending Sarah the coordinates. Although Sarah hates Carl for the murder of her son, Dani convinces her that they need his help to destroy the Rev-9. Sarah concedes, but vows to destroy Carl after they stop the Rev-9, and Carl says he understands her intention. They confront

19317-647: Was so popular that it dominated the mainframe computer market for decades and left a legacy that is continued by similar modern computers like the IBM zSeries . In 1965, Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) introduced another influential computer aimed at the scientific and research markets—the PDP-8 . Transistor-based computers had several distinct advantages over their predecessors. Aside from facilitating increased reliability and lower power consumption, transistors also allowed CPUs to operate at much higher speeds because of

19458-399: Was the Intel 4004 , and the first widely used microprocessor, made in 1974, was the Intel 8080 . Mainframe and minicomputer manufacturers of the time launched proprietary IC development programs to upgrade their older computer architectures , and eventually produced instruction set compatible microprocessors that were backward-compatible with their older hardware and software. Combined with

19599-494: Was to give Sarah a purpose by allowing her the chance to destroy the other Terminators, which Carl felt would give John's death some form of meaning. He keeps track of Sarah's whereabouts to make sure she survives her hunts. In 2020, Sarah decides to help Dani Ramos escape the Rev-9 , a new class of Terminator sent from 2042 by a Skynet-analogous A.I. called Legion. The women also meet Grace, a cybernetically augmented future soldier who

19740-429: Was used in a series of computers capable of running the same programs with different speeds and performances. This was significant at a time when most electronic computers were incompatible with one another, even those made by the same manufacturer. To facilitate this improvement, IBM used the concept of a microprogram (often called "microcode"), which still sees widespread use in modern CPUs. The System/360 architecture

19881-399: Was wrong for the role of Reese and quickly found him to be ideal as the Terminator instead. According to Cameron, "Casting Arnold Schwarzenegger as our Terminator [...] shouldn't have worked. The guy is supposed to be an infiltration unit, and there's no way you wouldn't spot a Terminator in a crowd instantly if they all looked like Arnold. It made no sense whatsoever. But the beauty of movies
