Explanation of Solution

Internet:

Internet is group of interconnected computer networks used to establish communication among the computers that belongs to same protocols.

  • All kinds of information can be shared between two computers with the help of internet.
  • There occurs three ways of connecting home computer to the network they are using phone modem, a digital subscriber line and cable modem.
  • It is one of the most cost effective means of communication where one can send Email, watching online movies, data transfer, file transfer, web-enabled audio and video conferencing service, online shopping.
  • It is the telecommunication infrastructure where the individual users can access private network using LAN, WAN and MAN.
    • WAN (Wide Area Network) is computer network that covers a large geographical area.
    • It is used to share the information over a large network area.
    • Data can be transmitted from different locations and so it enables the business to perform their functions effectively without depending on the location.

Specifications: Part-1Part-1: DescriptionIn this part of the lab you will build a single operation ALU. This ALU will implement a bitwise left rotation. Forthis lab assignment you are not allowed to use Digital's Arithmetic components.IF YOU ARE FOUND USING THEM, YOU WILL RECEIVE A ZERO FOR LAB2!The ALU you will be implementing consists of two 4-bit inputs (named inA and inB) and one 4-bit output (named out). Your ALU must rotate the bits in inA by the amount given by inB (i.e. 0-15).Part-1: User InterfaceYou are provided an interface file lab2_part1.dig; start Part-1 from this file.NOTE: You are not permitted to edit the content inside the dotted lines rectangle.Part-1: ExampleIn the figure above, the input values that we have selected to test are inA = {inA_3, inA_2, inA_1, inA_0} = {0, 1, 0,0} and inB = {inB_3, inB_2, inB_1, inB_0} = {0, 0, 1, 0}. Therefore, we must rotate the bus 0100 bitwise left by00102, or 2 in base 10, to get {0, 0, 0, 1}. Please note that a rotation left is…
