Fundamentals of Input and Output Performance
The I/O subsystem is a component of computer system design that uses buses to assist communication between the Central Processing Unit, Computer Memory/Storage, and Input and Output Devices (that is known as peripheral devices). The I/O subsystem include…

Instruction Set Architecture (ISA)

  • An ISA is an abstract model of a computer and is also referred to as architecture or computer architecture.
  • It defines the supported data types, registers, hardware support for managing main memory fundamental features and the input/output model of a family of implementations of ISA.
  • It specifies the behavior of machine code running on implementations of ISA and does not depend on the characteristics of that implementation.

Dijkstra's Algorithm (part 1).  Consider the network shown below, and Dijkstra’s link-state algorithm. Here, we are interested in computing the least cost path from node E (note: the start node here is E) to all other nodes using Dijkstra's algorithm. Using the algorithm statement used in the textbook and its visual representation, complete the "Step 0" row in the table below showing the link state algorithm’s execution by matching the table entries (i), (ii), (iii), and (iv) with their values.  Write down your final [correct] answer, as you‘ll need it for the next question.
