Microprocessor

Chapter 1 Introduction One of the most striking technological developments of the last fifty years has been the emergence of digital technology as a powerful force in our lives. For many of us, this technology is embodied in the digital computer, which has evolved to be an essential tool for our work as well as our personal needs. In 1951, when the first commercial electronic digital computer, a UNIVAC I, was delivered to the U.S. Bureau of the Census, computers were essentially unknown to most…

Minicomputers The birth of the minicomputer was in the mid-1960s by a computer engineer named Ken Olsen, he had a goal of creating a revolution system that can fulfil the ability of performing various tasks. His general idea was to redevelop computers that were the size of buildings and cars into a mini version that will be heavily reduced of height and weight so that people could use it for their own intent. Ken Olsen was the founder of DEC ‘Digital Equipment Corporation’ which is was generally…

The application of MFO method has been examined on two different test cases of MAED problems with different dimension and complexity level related to power system. The code used for study has been developed and implemented in MATLAB 7 and executed on 2.80GHz dual core processor with 2GB RAM. The description of test cases and simulation results obtained by MFO are presented as below. Main control parameters used for MFO are search agent size as 50 and shape factor equal to1. Test case I:…

To overcome the limitations of manual switching; automatic exchanges, having Electro-mechanical components, were developed. Strowger exchange, the first automatic exchange having direct control feature, appeared in 1892 in La Porte (Indiana). Though it improved upon the performance of a manual exchange it still had a number of disadvantages, viz., a large number of mechanical parts, limited availability, inflexibility, bulky in size etc. As a result of further research and development, Crossbar…

To represent the constraints on the host level (and implicitly on the level of feature packs), and uses a dependency matrix. Figure represents an example of a dependency matrix that shows the dependencies between the different hosts, as well as restrictions on these dependencies. The first column and the first row represent a file (database). Each cell contains a set of pairs (C, H), where C indicates the constraint and H indicates the type of dependency. A value of 2 means a strong dependency…

The Haswell microarchitecture improvises the Ivy-bridge in the following ways: • New socket LGA1150 for desktop processors • New AVX2 Instruction set • New TSX Instruction set • New bit manipulation instructions • New dispatch ports INSTRUCTION SET: The AVX instruction set limited the integer operations to use only 128-bit registers whereas the floating point operations used 256-bit registers. In addition, AVX2 implements three operand FMA instructions. New 15 bit manipulation instructions were…

I became interested with an Information Security Analyst because my father is one. Every take your child to work day I would wake up early with my dad and run to his car excited to go to his office for the day. The building is a plain, brown brick building, but every time I saw it, I instantly got excited. Walking into the office everyone knew my name, I would always wave at everyone I saw. The secretary always gave me a lollipop and called me her “Little bundle of sunlight”. I would then go…

The various types of books I read, and my curiosities caused me to have a more diverse intellectual life. I have read quite a few fictional books over the years. The Harry Potter series, The Mortal Instruments series, and the Hush, Hush series are only a few of the fictional novels that I have read. I have also read quite a few non-fictional books like The Biography of Woodrow Wilson by John M. Cooper, and The Innocent Man by John Grisham. Nowadays, I typically read historical and fantasy…

To start off building my computer, the case I decided on was the Thermaltake Overseer RX-I VN700M1W2N. I picked this case because I like being able to see the inside of the computer case, while offering a neat light display when powered on and a stylish look overall. The motherboard I have chosen is the ASUS Z170-A LGA 1151 Intel Z170 ATX motherboard. I have chosen this motherboard because I wanted something that is up-to-date, can run the everyday things I do, comes with USB 3.1, and is also…

· Memory: This is any computer component that has the ability to storing information or data temporary or permanently, e.g. Read And Write Memory (RAM) and Not Volatile Read And Write Memory (NVRAM). · CPU: This is the brain of the computer and is the central process unit, and it received command/instruction from the computer software and sends the instruction to the right hardware to execute the instruction, and also received the feedback from the hardware and forwards it to…
