  5. How Characters are Presented • BIT:Binary Digit. On/Off, 0/1, Magnetic/Not • BYTE:Group of bits for one character • EBCDIC- Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code (8 bits per byte) • ASCII- American Standard Code for Information Exchange (7 or 8 bits per byte) • PARITY BIT:extra bit added to each byte to help detect errors *

  6. C: 1100 0011 0 100 0011 1 67 A: 1100 0001 1 100 0001 0 65 T: 1110 0011 1 101 0100 1 84 Note how sum for each byte is an EVEN number * EXAMPLES OF BYTES EBCDIC ASCII Decimal (assume even-parity system) Parity bit

  13. Terms for Microprocessors • Word Length:bits processed at one time (e.g., 32-bit processor) • MEGAHERTZ: processing speed; one million cycles per second (e.g., 1GHz) • Data Bus Width:bits moved between CPU & other devices (e.g., 133MHz motherboard) • RISC: Reduced Instruction Set Computing:embeds most used instructions on chip to enhance speed (80/20 rule) • MultiMedia eXtension (MMX), 3D-Now!:special codes for improving multimedia applications * 5.12

  14. ARITHMETIC/LOGIC UNIT CLOCK ROM RAM PRIMARY (MAIN) MEMORY CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT (CPU) CONTROL UNIT 5.14

  18. ALU & CONTROL UNIT • Arithmetic-Logic UNIT:CPU component performs arithmetic (calculation) and logic (branching, decision) operations • Control Unit:CPU component controls, coordinates other parts of computer system (traffic cop) * 5.18

  19. Examples of Microprocessors • Intel:PII, PIII (up to 1GHz), P4 • AMD:Athlon, Athlon Thunderbird (up to 1.2GHz), Duron (~800MHz) • Transmeta: Caruso (code morphing, lower power consumption) for laptop and handheld devices • Motorola: Chips for Power Mac * 5.18

  25. CLIENT / SERVER • NETWORKED COMPUTERS • CLIENT:where things are processed. User (PC, workstation, laptop) requires data, application, communications it does not have • SERVER:hosting data and application, handle communications and other administrative works. * 5.31

  26. CLIENT SERVER REQUESTS DATA, SERVICE USER INTERFACE APPLICATION FUNCTION DATA APPLICATION FUNCTION NETWORK RESOURCES CLIENT / SERVER 5.32

  27. Cost Reduction through Task Redistribution • Network Computer:NetPC (MS) and NC (IBM et al.) smart terminals • Appliance Computing: e.g., WebTV. Total Cost of Ownership (TCO):must consider more than just the equipment price. Include costs in hardware, software, upgrades, maintenance, technical support, training *
