CyberPi: Data Storage (Gr. 11-12)

Python Coding: Advanced


Description

In this lesson, students will explore the data storage components of a computer - in particular, the CPU and memory usage. A computer's CPU and memory usage fluctuate while the operating system handles different tasks. The utilization of memory affects the performance of the CPU and hence the performance of the computer. Students will investigate the relationship between the utilization of memory and the performance of the computer using Python and CyberPi.

Objectives

  • Features of CPU performance
  • Button, joystick, screen, and LED controls of CyberPi using Python
