SPEED: A USB 1.1 controller transfers data at up to 12 mbps, or about four times faster than the speediest parallel port and 100 times quicker than a serial port.. While that won’t affec[r]
You cannot, however, connect a number of inputs together unless they are tied to an output, because there needs to be a signal of some kind present to drive the inputs to either the 1 or 0 states. Without an output to drive them, inputs will tend to drift around, rattling from 1 or 0 and creating[r]
Preface xii debriefing with the students, they universally panned every book that I used. The “gold standard” textbooks, the texts that almost every Computer Science student uses in their architecture class, were just not relevant to their needs. For the majority of these students, they[r]

Most desktop PCs run comfortably when their internal temperature is be- tween 60 and 110 degrees Fahrenheit. (Check your system documentation to find your PC’s exact range.) Internal tem- peratures over 110 degrees can stress del- icate circuits and electrical contacts, which may substantially short[r]
Chapter 15: Solutions for Odd-Numbered Problems 1. Video gamers are notorious for overclocking their CPUs to gain the last ounce of performance from the machine. However, overclocking generates more heat, which slows down the internal processes, and also causes the processor to run closer to i[r]
who don’t yet have hardware available can execute benchmark code or other evaluation programs on the processor of interest. The evaluation board is often priced above what a hobbyist would be will- ing to spend, but below what a first-level manager can directly approve. Obviously, as a ma[r]
However, it is possible that the memory access request cannot be fulfilled because the memory data is located in virtual memory on the disk. The memory management hardware in the proces- sor detects that the address is not in physical memory and generates an exception. The exception is simil[r]

Historically, there have been a large number of different devices used to store information as a computer’s random access memory , or RAM. Magnetic devices, such as core memories, were very important until integrated circuits (IC) became widely available. Today, one IC memory device c[r]
