  • Factors Effecting the Efficiency of Data Processing Systems
    • Hardware
      • Quad Core  Processor > Dual Processor
        • Quad core = more processors processing the data = more efficient
      • Larger amount of R.A.M
        • More R.A.M = more free space = more efficient
      • Age of the Hardware
        • The older the hardware = slower the processing = been used a lot = less efficient
    • Software
      • Up-To-Date Software
        • Software not up-to-date =  take longer to process data = software not at its best
      • Size of the files
        • The larger the file size = the longer it'll take for the systems to process
    • Communication between Devices
      • if the devices are further away = it'll take longer for the data to be sent + received = can be less efficient then if the devices were closer together
      • If the devices aren't made by the same company = it'll take them longer to communicate + then send the data from the one device to the other and process it = less efficient
    • Compatibility of systems (software and hardware)
      • Old and New Software
        • Takes time for the pieces of software to match + send data between them = less efficient
      • Old and New Hardware
        • Takes time for the pieces of hardware to match + send data between them = less efficient
      • Different makes of Software
        • If you use 2 different software makers =  take longer to connect + send data between them
      • Different makes of hardware
        • If you use 2 different hardware makers = take longer to process + send data between them
