Explanation of Solution

Technological threshold was crossed in the mid-1970, enabling the introduction of microprocessors:

  • The major technological advancement leads to the development of microprocessor in the mid-1970s.
  • Nowadays the microprogrammed processors can be implement entirely on a single chip.

Advantages of microprocessors:

  • Incorporating the entire processor on a single processor reduce the time and power requirements...

Explanation of Solution

Subsequent threshold crossed in the early 1980’s made RISC machines:

  • The VLSI technology advanced to the development of RISC machines in the early 1980s.
  • The factors which leads to aid of RISC machine as follows.
    1. ○ Now the pipelined instruction set could be incorporated on a single chip...

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.
