Importance of von Neumann bottleneck:

As we know that modern computers run on von Neumann architecture. Von Neumann Architecture uses a single memory to store data as well as programs and a processor to perform computations. Data and instructions flow from the memory to processor for computation and later the result is transferred back to the memory. But the problem here is that there is a single bus for transfer for instructions and data to the processor.

This greatly reduces the throughput of the processor as the processor has to remain idle for most of its time waiting for the data from the memory. This problem is popularly known as von Neumann bottleneck. Even though in recent years there has been significant increase in the processor speed, but it just means that the processor will remain idle for more time. There have been improvements in the memory density...

We are doing a custom JSTL custom tag to make display page to access a tag handler.   Write two custom tags: 1) A single tag which prints a number (from 0-99) as words. Ex:    <abc:numAsWords val="32"/>   --> produces: thirty-two   2) A paired tag which puts the body in a DIV with our team colors. Ex:    <abc:teamColors school="gophers" reverse="true">     <p>Big game today</p>     <p>Bring your lucky hat</p>      <-- these will be green text on blue background   </abc:teamColors> Details: The attribute for numAsWords will be just val, from 0 to 99   - spelling, etc... isn't important here. Print "twenty-six" or "Twenty six" ... .  Attributes for teamColors are: school, a "required" string, and reversed, a non-required boolean.   - pick any four schools. I picked gophers, cyclones, hawkeyes and cornhuskers   - each school has two colors. Pick whatever seems best. For oine I picked "cyclones" and       red text on a gold body   - if…

Assignment Instructions: You are tasked with developing a program to use city data from an online database and generate a city details report. 1) Create a new Project in Eclipse called "HW7". 2) Create a class "City.java" in the project and implement the UML diagram shown below and add comments to your program. 3) The logic for the method "getCityCategory" of City Class is below: a. If the population of a city is greater than 10000000, then the method returns "MEGA" b. If the population of a city is greater than 1000000 and less than 10000000, then the method returns "LARGE" c. If the population of a city is greater than 100000 and less than 1000000, then the method returns "MEDIUM" d. If the population of a city is below 100000, then the method returns "SMALL" 4) You should create another new Java program inside the project. Name the program as "xxxx_program.java”, where xxxx is your Kean username. 3) Implement the following methods inside the xxxx_program program The main method…
