Stands for "Composite Theoretical Performance."  CTP is used to measure the performance of computer processors.  The values returned by CTP calculations are used for benchmarking purposes, which compare the performance of different processors.  For example, Intel and AMD use CTP calculations to measure how many millions of theoretical operations per second (MTOPS) their processors can perform.  An Intel Pentium M 770, which runs at 2.13 GHz, has a CTP of 7100 MTOPs, while an AMD Opteron 146, which runs at 2.0 GHz, has a CTP of 7168 MTOPS.As seen in the example above, faster processor speeds do not always result in a higher CTP.  Other considerations, such as the processor's architecture and the speed of the frontside bus also affect the overall performance.  CTP is useful for comparing different brands of processors, as well as comparing different models of processors made by the same company.  With dual and quad processors becoming more prevalent, CTP is now also being used to measure the performance increase when multiple processors are used together.

The purpose of the Cyberlearning for Work at the Human-Technology Frontier program is to fund exploratory and synergistic research in learning technologies to prepare learners to excel in work at the human-technology frontier.  This program responds to the pressing societal need to educate and re-educate learners of all…

People Make People –  Bryan Bruce. 

​Teaching is more than instruction. It’s people making. One of the biggest mistakes we could make in preparing our children for the future is to think that teachers can be replaced by computers.

Why? Because that would be to reduce the job description of a teacher to that of an instructor  – which would take us back to the 19th Century when teachers tried to fill their students up with…

Cool! The purpose of the NSF Cyberlearning and Future Learning Technologies program is to integrate opportunities offered by emerging technologies with advances in what is known about how people learn to advance three interconnected thrusts:

Innovation:inventing and improving next-generation genres (types) of learning technologies, identifying new means of using technology for fostering and…
