You are to research a computer organizationcomputer

Question

You are to research a computer organization/computer architecture topic and present your findings in a research paper. You should read various reference materials to gather information, which then should be presented in a logically organized and coherent paper. You should read at least 3 or 4 distinct reference sources and list them at the end of your paper. Online references are fine if there are from a reputable source (i.e. you cannot use Wikipedia).

Some possible subject areas are:

CPU Chips: Compare/contrast different manufacturer offerings

GPUs: Performance, computational speed versus memory speed

Video surveillance environments (bandwidth, resolution, recording storage)

Storage Medium (SSD, Various DVD technologies, High density disks, Disk arrays)

Computer Systems (PCs, Mainframes, Mobile, Massively parallel computers)

HPC Clusters (SharcNet, Google, Wikipedia's server farm)

Buses, I/O systems, caches, RAM, etc. (USB3, Firewire)

Networks: Home routers, The WWW, search engines

Or anything else you can think of that's hardware related. The possibilities are limitless. Your paper must focus on the performance of the subject hardware. An analysis of the configuration and technical specifications and how those decisions affect performance. You should choose something that you are interested in as a subject. Your paper should be about 4-5 pages long (1200 words) and include a bibliography (you do not need toworry about footnotes). Your subject should be unique within the class. You are expected to do individualised work.

Answer 1

You have to collect information regarding hardware by reading different reference study materials; a few of the subjects are: a) CPU Chips: Compare and contrast various manufacturer offerings b) GPUs: Performance, computational speed vs. memory speed c) Video surveillance environments (that is, bandwidth, resolution and recording storage) d) Storage Medium (SSD, different DVD technologies, High density disks and Disk arrays) e) Computer Systems (like PCs, Mobile, Mainframes, and Massively parallel computers) f) HPC Clusters (Google, SharcNet and Wikipedia's server farm) g) Buses, I/O systems, caches, RAM and so on. (USB3, Firewire) h) Networks: Home routers, WWW and search engines You must research a computer organization or computer architecture topic and submit your findings in a research paper. The paper must concentrate on the performance of subject hardware. The paper must not be more than 4 to 5 pages which too comprise a bibliography.
