4. Explain the role of each of the following in determining the speed of a computer: RAM Clock speed Data on hard disk Data on CD ROM Data on floppy disk RAM - As a computer processes data and instructions, it temporarily stores information internally, usually on silicon random-access memory, or RAM, chips--often called semiconductor memory. Usually mounted on the main circuit board inside the computer or on peripheral cards that plug into the board, each RAM chip may consist of as many

film in more ways than one. One particularly important shot in the scene, beginning 00:02:36 into the film, tells the audience much of what it will need to know about Rear Window’s setting, characters, and themes. The long take begins with an alarm clock waking up a couple, sleeping out on their balcony. As the camera moves from window to window around the courtyard, we see a few brief snippets of characters’ lives. And finally, the audience sees inside the apartment that has been its point of view

subclock power gating, for reducing leakage power during the active mode in low performance, energy-constrained applications. The proposed technique achieves power reduction through two mechanisms: 1) power gating the combinational logic within the clock period (subclock) and 2) reducing the virtual supply to less than Vth rather than shutting down completely as is the case in conventional power gating. To achieve this reduced voltage, a pair of nMOS and pMOS transistors are used at the head and

Sleep is one of the richest topics in science today: why we need it, why it can be hard to get, and how that affects everything from our athletic performance to our income. Daniel Kripke, co-director of research at the Scripps Clinic Sleep Center in La Jolla, Calif., has looked at the most important question of all. In 2002, he compared death rates among more than 1 million American adults who, as part of a study on cancer prevention, reported their average nightly amount of sleep. To many, his results

Quantifying Hardware Selection in an FTK 4.0 Environment Introduction and Background The purpose of this analysis is to evaluate the relative effectiveness of individual hardware component selection in the FTK 4.0 environment. While it is useful to document the individual hardware components which result in maximum performance, it is also important to identify those components which provide the best value. This effort is part of an ongoing commitment by Digital Intelligence to assist customers in
