Unit 5 Analysis- Pentium Flaw NT1110 February 11, 2015 Instructor Sheila Pearson The Pentium flaw was when a segment among the Pentium CPU’s transistors performed division incorrectly. Engineers for Intel discovered the problem after the product was released in 1993 but they kept it hush hush and decided to fix the problem by using updates to the chip. A mathematician by the name of Thomas Nicely that worked for Lynchburg College in West Virginia also discovered the flaw. At first Grove, who

Richard McMaster INF325: Telecommunications and Networking Concepts Week 2 Answer the following “Test Your Understanding” questions using APA style and form: a. Below what speed are there different leased line standards in different parts of the world? Difficulties start below 50 Mbits of data so different countries have different lease line standards. b. What is the exact speed of a T1 line? A T1 line is a lease line in North America. This connection is a dedicated connection

answer: a. Would a packet-switched network or a circuit-switched network be more appropriate for this application? Why? b. Suppose that a packet-switched network is used and the only traffic in this network comes from such applications as described above. Furthermore, assume that the sum of the application data rates is less than the capacities of each and every link. Is some form of congestion control needed? Why? Answer: A circuit-switched network would be better in this case, because

1. A microprocessor is a computer processor that incorporates the functions of computer’s central processing unit (CPU) on a single integrated circuit (IC), or at most a few integrated circuits. The microprocessor is a multipurpose, programmable device that accepts digital data as input, processes it according to instructions stored in its memory, and provides results as output. 2. A digital signal processor (DSP) is a specialized microprocessor (or a SIP block), with its architecture optimized

INTRODUCTION With the rapid progress of technology and science, nanotechnology becomes a prominent accomplishment of the humanity. The ability to observe and comprehend the nanomaterial has a beneficial human to extend our knowledge in a variety range of industries and scientific endeavors. Nanotechnology is defined as a structure that conducted the size of one nanometer to one hundred nanometers and it is invisible to the human eye. Nanotechnology allows the scientists to manipulate one particular

control are two distinct control mechanisms with distinct objectives. 3) What advantage does a circuit-switched network have over a packet-switched network? a)A circuit switched network can guarantee a certain amount of end to end bandwidth for the duration of call. Most packet switched networks today cannot make any end to end guarantees for bandwidth. 4) What advantages does TDM have over FDM in a circuit-switched network? a) TDM and FDM are multiple access techniques used for multiplexing

Instantly, any person can find themselves in an emergency situation. Emergency dispatchers will be there to help them during this time of need. Emergency dispatchers can send any emergency vehicles and personnel. A person who picks to be a emergency dispatcher because the dispatcher are kind of like a boss to emergency service department. The job description of a 911 dispatcher is interesting. Dispatcher take emergency calls for civilians the need a assistance and send what emergency vehicle that

where C_gP^* is the gate capacitor per unit width of Mp2, f_cis the carrier frequency (f_c=13.56 MHz), D_effis the effective duty cycle, and W_p is the width of Mp2. Additionally, the optimal size ration for the NMOS and PMOS transistors (Mn1, Mn2, Mp1 and Mp2) has been proven in [2], and van be formed as: (W_p/W_n )=√((K_n (V_REC-V_(ThN) ))/(K_p (V_REC-|V_(ThP) |) )) (3.5) where K_n=μ_n C_ox and K_p=μ_p C_ox, are the transconductances of the NMOS and PMOS, respectively. The main rectifying transistors

Question 2 1) A 64bit CPU can process data sets faster and more efficiently because there are more discrete addresses, a 32bit CPU has somewhere in the region of 4GB of addressable memory where as a 64 bit processor can have up to 16 exa bites of memory (this is the equivalent of 16 billion GB of RAM). This is due to more transistors and improved silicon production processes. 64bit CPU’s can have up to 8 cores where as 32bit CPU’ can only have dual cores. Multiple cores increase processing power
