Program Plan Intro

Components of computer:

Computer has four major components, they are:

  • Central processing unit (CPU)
  • Memory unit
  • Input devices
  • Output devices

Central Processing Unit (CPU):

  • CPU plays the key role in a computer by carrying out computer program instructions.
  • It performs all the basic logic, arithmetic, controlling as well as input/output operations that are specified by the instructions.
  • The CPU comprises of two units, Arithmetic logic unit (ALU) and control unit (CU).

Memory unit:

  • Once, set of computer program instructions are transformed into machine code by CPU, the machine code is stored in memory.
  • Then the CPU fetches the required data and instructions from memory, perform the required operations and then sends the result and next instruction set back to memory.

Input devices:

  • The devices used by the user to feed information to computer, such as a hard drive, keyboard, or a networking card.
  • These devices get the data from outside world into computer in the way that human eyes and ears bring the data to brain.

Output devices:

  • Output devices are used by computer to deliver the information to the user, such as a monitor, printer, and speaker.
  • The CPU takes the machine code present in memory and converts it into a format that is required by monitor’s hardware.
  • Then the monitor’s hardware converts that information into different light intensities so that you see words or pictures.

(Short-answer) b. Continue from the previous question. Suppose part of the data you extracted from the data warehouse is the following.   Identify the missing values you think exist in the dataset. Use Column letter and Row number to refer to each missing value in the dataset. Please write down how you want to address each particular missing value (you can group them if they receive same treatment). For imputation, you do not need to calculate the exact imputed values but just describe what kind of value you want to use to impute.
Please original work Locate data warehousing solutions offered by IBM, Oracle, Microsoft, and Amazon Compare and contrast the capabilities of each solution and provide several names of some organizations that utilize each of these solutions. Please cite in text references and add weblinks
