Chapter 5, Problem 2RQ

Explanation of Solution

Major computer hardware components:

  • The secondary storage devices like magnetic disk, optical disk, magnetic tape and storage networks come under the storage devices.
  • Keyboard, mouse, touch screen, pen based input, digital scanner, audio input and many more fall under input devices...

Explanation of Solution

Types of computers available for business:

  • Personal computers:
    • These computers are used when working alone or with a small group of people in a small business.
  • Servers:
    • These are the systems that support a computer network, enabling users to share files, software, peripheral devices, or other network resources.
  • Workstations:
    • These are nothing but the desktop computers with more powerful mathematical and graphical processing capabilities. These are used for advanced design or engineering work that demand powerful graphics or computational capabilities...

Explanation of Solution

Client server model:

  • When multiple computers are connected with each other over a network in order to process the data, is called distributed processing.
  • Client server processing is one of the types of distributed processing.
  • In this case the processing is split between the client and server where both of them work on internet and interact with each other.
  • The user is the client who can access the client part of application.
  • The server is the service provider. It also stores information required by the client and provides it to the client at the time of request by the client...

Explanation of Solution

  • Mobile digital platform:
    • The hardware and software environment needed in tablets, smart phones and many other portable devices is called the mobile digital platform.
    • Examples of mobile digital platforms include the android, ios, and windows.
    • Nowadays smartphones and tablets have become the primary stations to access the internet in the market.
  • BYOD: Bring your own device:
    • The name specifies the behavior of the device which means that these devices are brought to workplace to work.
    • This saves a lot of cost for any company and also increases the productivity.
  • Nanotechnology:
    • In this the individual atoms and molecules are used for creation of the computer chips and other devices which are very small.
  • Quantum computing:
    • It enhances the power of computing.
    • Principles of quantum physics are used in order to refer the data and also to perform operations on the data.
  • Virtualization:
    • The process of setting a computing resource which can be accessed from anywhere.
    • It is very useful for the companies to test the applications.
  • Grid computing:
    • The collection of the computing resources from the multiple locations so as to reach the destination like the distributed processing system...

This is a question that I have and would like someone who has experiences with scene graphs and entity component systems to answer.For context, I am currently implementing a game engine and currently I am debating on our current design.Our current design is we have a singular game component class that every component inherits from. Where we have components like SpriteRendererComponent, Mehs Component, etc. They inherit from this GameComponent class. The point of this is being able to have O(1) access to the scene to being able to modify components to attach more components with the idea of accessing those components to specific scene objects in a scene.Now, my question is what kinds of caveauts can this cause in terms of cache coherence? I am well aware that yes its O(1) and that is great but cache coherence is going to be really bad, but would like to know more explicit details and real-life examples such as write in RAM examples on how this is bad. A follow-up question that is part…
Q4: Consider the following MAILORDER relational schema describing the data for a mail order company. (Choose five only). PARTS(Pno, Pname, Qoh, Price, Olevel) CUSTOMERS(Cno, Cname, Street, Zip, Phone) EMPLOYEES(Eno, Ename, Zip, Hdate) ZIP CODES(Zip, City) ORDERS(Ono, Cno, Eno, Received, Shipped) ODETAILS(Ono, Pno, Qty) (10 Marks) I want a detailed explanation to understand the mechanism how it is Qoh stands for quantity on hand: the other attribute names are self-explanatory. Specify and execute the following queries using the RA interpreter on the MAILORDER database schema. a. Retrieve the names of parts that cost less than $20.00. b. Retrieve the names and cities of employees who have taken orders for parts costing more than $50.00. c. Retrieve the pairs of customer number values of customers who live in the same ZIP Code. d. Retrieve the names of customers who have ordered parts from employees living in Wichita. e. Retrieve the names of customers who have ordered parts costing less…
