houses all of the hardware of the computer ranging from the motherboard to the hard drive. Universal Serial Bus Flash Drive (USB Flash Drive) - A portable data storage device using flash memory. It connects to a computer via a USB Type-A port. Secure Digital Card (SD Card) - A portable flash memory storage device that stores data persistently; this is typically used for cameras, tablets, and other smaller electronics, but it will most likely connect to a computer via an SD card slot.…
Introduction: The complete computer is made up of CPU (Central Processing Unit), Memory and Related Electronics, All the peripheral devices connected to it and its operating system. Computer Systems will fall into 2 categories: Clients and Servers. Any computer system needs both hardware and software components to work together to help the computer system to work. Hardware - Is a physical component that contributes to the build of a computer system. For example… Processor, Main memory,…
In the first part of the section they start off by talking about Hardware. Within this they cover the Input, Processing, Output, and Storage Devices. While I was reading this, one of these things really came out to me and that was storage devices. Storage is such as big thing and this especially goes for bigger companies. Data used to be very small back in the day. 1Gb used to be HUGE in modern terms, and now 1Gb is the size of the pea for most…
configuration, and supported standards. Specifically explain the VLAN concept and its use within the wired LAN infrastructure. What healthcare use can you envision for wired LAN? If unsure, search the literature for answers. A wired LAN connects computers within an organization in a network configuration and each PC on the LAN must connect to the network with a network interface card (NIC). The NIC needed varies by which cabling is used for the network (Cowley, 2012). NICs help to direct…
already present. This results in significant cost saving, storage space and power consumption, this also results in rapid increase in availability. Raid allows us to have a group of physical disks to form as one logical disk on the system. Using raid method of splitting the hard disk helps to read or write data at an increased speed, fault tolerance and redundancy. Raid 0 uses a form of striping. They have 2 disk which helps the data…
case Cloud computing come to be a more convenient method of software operation within the businesses. the case is given an example which is Amazon by using cloud computing at the marketplace. Amazon use the Web services division (AWS) to get data storage and computing power flexibility. This application supports Amazon to get a large amount of computing resources. Based on client provided data, the AWS can allocate, separate and arrange resources., Cloud computing bring a lot of opportuneness…
The performance analysis of Raspberry Pi [16] Raspberry Pi is a credit card sized computer. It’s basically a small PC which provides all the basic functions that are provided by a desktop PC. For example, it provides functions like word processing, gaming and playing audio/video. It has become a widely used device for learning programming since last one year. The Raspberry Pi is a 3.370 X 2.125 motherboard with a 700 MHz CPU and a 250 MHz GPU. The Ethernet LAN port is present for internet and…
1. The advantage of using a very large memory cell size is that the computer can store larger values in its memory cells. The disadvantage is that there would be fewer cells available. 2. This question asks how many bits are needed in the MAR with the following numbers a. 1 million bytes = 20 bits b. 10 million bytes = 24 bits c. 100 million bytes = 27 bits d. 1 billion bytes = 30 bits 3. 640 kb would be 655,360 memory cells. A 512MB would contain 536,870,912 memory cells. A 2GB would contain…
created a monster or become one. In the late spring of this year, my sister brought home an honest ex-marine, carpenter, and computer genius, or so I thought. We spoke of endless topics over an old-fashioned game of horseshoes. Days became weeks and weeks became months as his silhouette of lies unraveled. After five months of lounging around, he…
these values are placed in the destination location. Therefore, a move operator is really a copy operator. 2. Access to data stored in registers is immediate, but access to data stored in memory locations is slower. Most programs require a temporary storage area for intermediate results and frequently needed variables or constants. General-purpose registers serve this purpose. As the number of general-purpose registers increases, more of these items can be held in registers, reducing the need to…
