Research Paper Substitute

IBM has a processor that operates at 200 GHz. What is the fastest fiber optic transmission speed that will support? What is the impact if the RAM access speed for a cycle is 60 nanoseconds, the hard drive access speed is 10 milliseconds and the bus speed is 133 MHz? Which of these is easiest to change?

5

Optional Case Study

The following case study may be done in lieu of a research paper. It should be performed by two to four students working as a team. Two reports (one for 501 & one for 502) should be approximately 20 pages long and show graphical illustrations of the test performed and results found. An oral presentation should be given as a team.

Take three computers (e.g. 486, 586 and Pentium II) and link each to a server. Place at least three applications on each platform (e.g. e-mail, access database and a graphics application). Develop a test methodology and determine:

1. What is the weak link (slowest component in each platform and the slowest component overall)?

2. What is the response time (user-to-user) of the fastest and slowest application?

3. What is the recommended bechmarking tool to perform the analysis?

Decibells & Logarithms

Converting watts to dB (or milliwatts to dBm): 10 log10 1000 watts = 30 dBw

Converting dB to watts (or dBm to milliwatts):30 dBw = log-1, or log-1 (3) or 10 raised

to the 3rd power = 103 = 1000 watts

35 dBw = 103.5 = 3162.3 watts

Note: There’s a point between the 3 & 5.

Nyquist

1. Nyquist: The maximum practical data rate (samples) per channel.

Max R = 2 H log2 V

Logarithmic function to the base 2: For each # V, log V = the exponent to which 2 must be raised to produce V. Then if V = 16, the log2 of V = 4. If V = 2, the log2 of V = 1.

Then what is the maximum practical data rate for BPSK signal on a line with a bandwidth of 3000 Hz?

What is the maximum practical data rate for a QPSK signal on a line with a bandwidth of 3000 Hz?

31

Shannon

Shannon: The maximum theoretical data rate per channel.

Max R = CBW x log2 (1 + S/N)

[CBW = H in Nyquist Theorem]

Then what is the maximum practical data rate for signal with a 30 dB S/N on a line with a bandwidth of 3000 Hz?
