7611ICT: Computer Systems and Networks Week 1 - Weekly Assessment (2 marks) 1. Draw your own diagram that illustrates the components of a computer system. Your diagram must label each component and show how they are relate and connected to each other. (0.5 marks) 2. Draw a graph with how you see Moore’s law continuing into the future. On your graph: Label the X-Axis with the years from 2022 to 2060 in 2-year increments Label the Y-Axis the number of transistors (in billions) per square mm Start the year 2022 with114 billion transistors per square mm (0.5 marks) 2022 2024 2026 2028 2030 2032 2034 2036 2038 2040 2042 2044 2046 2048 2050 2052 2054 2056 2058 2060 0 10000000 20000000 30000000 40000000 50000000 60000000 70000000 114 228 456 912 1824 3648 7269 145922918458368116736 233472 466944 933888 1867776 3735552 7471104 14942208 29884416 59768832 Moore's Law Years Transistors (in billions)
7611ICT: Computer Systems and Networks Week 1 - Weekly Assessment (2 marks) 3. Explain your reasoning for how you have drawn the curve in Question 2. (0.5 marks) Moore’s Law predicts the number of transistors on an integrated circuit will double every two years. By starting at 114 billion transistors per square mm in 2022, it can be predicted by 2060 there will be 56,768,832 transistors on a single chip. 4. Briefly describe the processor-memory gap. Discuss why this processor- memory gap does not appear to have a big impact on performance. (0.5 marks) Using Moore’s Law to predict processor performance in the coming years, the processor-memory gap highlights the divergence of acceleration between the processor speed and the memory speed. One way to mitigate this is for computers to cache memory where frequently used instructions are temporarily stored and allows for any future requests of that same data to be served faster.
