The hierarchical nature of complex systems is essential to both their design and their description. The designer need only deal with a particular level of the system at a time. At each level the system consists of a set of components and their interrelationships. The behavior at each level ...
This chapter focuses on the basic structures used for computer component interconnection. As background, the chapter begins with a brief examination of the basic components and their interface requirements. Then a functional overview is provided. We are then prepared to examine the use of buses to ...
These are typical components in state-of-the-art data centers. Not all data center aspects are replicated in the SBC clusters, for example network bandwidth, computational power, memory, and storage capacities are considerably lower, limiting the cluster to small-scale jobs. Node power management ...
The development oflarge-scale integration(LSI) enabled hardware manufacturers to pack thousands of transistors and other related components on a single silicon chip about the size of a baby’s fingernail. Such microcircuitry yielded two devices that revolutionized computer technology. The first of these...
being well prepared and well aware of the basic computer elements is mandatory in such cases. so, to assist candidates with their competitive exam preparation, given below are a few multiple choice questions on components of computer for aspirants to apprehend the type of questions which may be...
For most modern computer systems, the five architectural components (CPU, memories, bus structures, I/O subsystems, and switch) are shown in Figure 10.1. Additional processors, devices, and/or memory/device access may be added to enhance the main task of data processing in the computers. View...
Advanced attackers typically vacate the system and remove evidence of their presence after they have achieved their goals; they may even disguise their work as someone else’s. In some cases, they leave behind a back door for future access or to sell access to other cybercriminals. Some attack...
It's no secret that high-end speakers deliver high-end sound. While most of this can be accredited to the speaker's internals (tweeters, woofers etc.), a surprising amount is based on the design. For example, theAudioengine A5+ Wirelessuse nothing but high-end components. However, due ...
The control unit, ALU, registers, and basic I/O (and often other hardware closely linked with these) is collectively known as a central processing unit (CPU). Early CPUs were comprised of many separate components but since the mid-1970s CPUs have typically been constructed on a single integr...
