...NT1110 Unit 5 Assignment 1 Video Summary 3 CPUs In today’s market there are 2 main manufacturers of CPUs: Intel and AMD. There are also some smaller competitors that manufacture CPUs, but they tend to come and go. The way a CPU is organized varies, but here are the basics: The motherboard system bus carries information into and out of the CPU. When the system bus enters the CPU, it’s called a Front side bus. The Front side bus usually uses a 64-bit wide data path. On the side of the CPU you will find a controller. A controller manages the basic functions of the CPU, and controls communication between the motherboard and other components within the CPU. These other components includes one or more ALUs and internal cache. An ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit), is responsible for solving complex calculations. Having multiple ALUs in a single processor is what gave the early Pentiums their multi-processing capabilities. Communication between the controllers and the ALU uses a 32-bit wide internal data bus. The bus system that supports communication between the cache, the ALU, and the controllers is referred to as the backside bus. The most important thing a person needs to know about a processor is the speed at which it processes information; (CPU speed). There are several ways to gauge CPU speeds. This may sound like an advantage, but oftentimes, these multiple ways are misleading. The speeds differ inside and outside the processor. Internally the processor may work at 1, 2, or...

...Unit 8 Assignment 1 Video Summary 6 VIDEO #3.01 Topics: * Microsoft Operating Systems * Other Operating Systems Terms: * DOS – Disk Operating System is an acronym for several closely related operating systems that dominated the IBM PC compatible market between 1981 and 1995 * UNIX - is a family of multitasking, multiuser computer operating systems that derive from the original AT&T UNIX. * Command Line Interface - also known as command-line user interface, console user interface, and character user interface (CUI), is a means of interacting with a computer program where the user issues commands to the program in the form of successive lines of text (command lines). Summary: The video taught me that everything that was developed after series 9x of operating systems is built on the NT platform. Also the NT did not have a device manager or a hardware wizard as well as not supporting plug and play. I also learned that Linux was developed by a Finnish student named Linus Torvalds. This information is not really useful for me its old information that for me has no value unless I want to be a technology historian.

...Alberto Legra 01/28/2016 Unit 6 Assignment 1: Video summary 4 (RAID) 1. URL Of video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eE7Bfw9lFfs 2. Summary of video. In this video we learn the meaning of raid, what it does, and how to efficiently configure raid arrays. RAID stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disks. The three most common types of RAID; RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID 10. Different raid configurations offer different advantages, like speed and reliability. RAID 0 is all about speed, by striping the data across 2 drives you can keep all of the capacity and double the read and write performance. However, RAID 0 provides no reliability, if one of your drives fail you will all of your data. RAID 1 in the other hand provides maximum reliability, but no performance increase. When both performance and reliability are needed, there is the option for a RAID 10 configuration. To configure a RAID 10 array, you need four drives, stripe the data on all four drives and mirror two against two. This RAID configuration allows you to get about double the performance and capacity of an individual drive, and you can lose up two drives without losing any data. 3. 3 topics mentioned in the video. * The meaning of RAID * Pros and cons of RAID configurations * How to configure RAID 4. 3 terms used in the video and their definitions. * Data striping: The technique of segmenting logically sequential data, such as a file. * RAID: Data storage virtualization technology...

Which ones are not necessary for normal day-to- day use and why? Necessary devices used on a personal computer keyboard, for typing or telling the computer what to do. Monitor, for seeing all the information you type in, watching videos ect… Speakers for listening music and watching videos. Now a days we often use USB ports for just about everything, storing information from one device to a desk top up to a laptop. Also charging our electric devices, as well as storing information into USB cards. Not necessary I/O for a personal computer can be printer, scanner, web cam. * Why a modem is considered an I/O device? The reason Is it sends and retrieves data usually at the same time. * Though a printer is an essential I/O device, can you think of why it may be also classified as an input device? If It is a combination of printer/fax/scanner it could be both. When it is printing it’s an output device. When scanning it is an input device. [Type the abstract of the document here.

...Unit 3 Assignment 1: Video Summary 1 * CPU: The central Processing Unit (CPU) is the main processing unit of the personal computer (PC). It has an integral relationship with the motherboard and the system memory. These three devices control the data-processing aspect of the PC. Drives handle data storage, and input/output (IO) interfaces allow human interaction, communications with peripherals, and network communication. * Clock Rate: The actual speed of the (CPU) is governed by a BIOS setting called the clock rate. CPUs run in a range of speeds, not just one specific speed. Increasing the CPU is called over-clocking. It improves performance, but it comes at a cost. The faster the CPU runs, the hotter it gets. If it gets too hot, the BIOS shuts down the CPU. * CPU Interfaces and Sock Types * Chipset help direct and process data and commands for the CPU. * Sockets allow the CPU to connect to the Computer. * The motherboard provides power to the CPU. * It measure the temperature and controls fans to cool the CPU. * The motherboard shuts down the PC it the CPU is too hot to prevent damage. * System Memory: There are two major types of memory: dynamic and static. Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) loses information in the absence of power. Static Ram (SRAM retains its data like a hard drive regardless of power state. In general, DRAM is used as system memory, and SRAM is used for cache and storage devices. * SDRAM: is neither a contradiction...

...Unit 5 Assignment 1: Video Summary NT1110 There are two major manufactures we use in today’s market which are Intel and AMD. There are some minor competitions but don’t stay on the market for long. The system bus for the CPU is also known as the Front-side bus as it inserts the CPU and has a 64 bit data pass. In the CPU theirs a controller that controls communication between the motherboard and other components with the CPU. The ALU is responsible for performing complex calculations. Communications between the controllers and the ALU’s uses a 32 bit wide internal data bus. A processor is usually measured in GHz. A system Bus is usually measured in MHz and has limiting factors of speed. The multiplier is the ratio between processor and the System bus. The system bus speed x multiplier equals the processor speed. CPU manufactures have come up with different ways to make the CPU work faster. Two multi-processing requires multiple processors (In other words your system must be designed to support more than one CPU on a single motherboard). Dual Core Processors have been recently developed, that means incorporating multiple processors with multiple ALU’s inside a CPU. These ALU’s process their information individually. There’s two cache memory’s which are SRAM and DRAM. SRAM is also called Static RAM, it is faster and more expensive then DRAM, it holds memory without being refreshed and DRAM must be refreshed. There are three types of RAM which are L1 cache, L2 cache, and L3 cache...
