Hi, I have a question about how to process information

Question

1.00/5 (1 vote)

See more:

When we run software on a computer, the system does the calculations and processing and gives us the answer.
We want to know how much calculation and processing is done?
  And what is the volume of this processing? How about?
Example: We convert 1GB to 0.8GB with compressor software, how much processing has been done for this reduced 200MB? And the size of this processor, for example, how many kilobytes or megabytes?
*This question does not mean the amount of RAM involved

What I have tried:

<pre>I asked many programmers but unfortunately I did not receive an answer

And I'm sure you got a lot of strange looks before they hurried away on urgent tasks.

And that's because there is no answer: the amount of processing, calculating, work, effort ... all of that depends on what is being done, how it is coded, who wrote the software, even what language it is written in. There is no one way to do a task in development, so basically you are asking "how long is a piece of string?"

This piece of string is 2.765m long - but that one is 42.777m, and the one over there is 12mm and barely qualifies as "string".

Just like your other question: Hi, my question is about compression software[^] there is no single answer, no absolute value.
