The PS/2 port is a 6-pin mini-DIN connector that is used for connecting some keyboards and mice to the computer system.

The Mega 2560 Board Has A Number Of Facilities For Communicating With A Computer, Another Board, Or Other Microcontrollers. The Atmega2560 Provides Four Hardware Uarts For TTL (5V) Serial Communication. An Atmega16u2 (Atmega 8U2 On The Revision 1 And Revision 2 Boards) On The Board Channels One Of These Over USB And Provides A Virtual Com Port To Software On The Computer (Windows Machines Will Need A .Inf File, But OSX And Linux Machines Will Recognize The Board As A COM Port Automatically. The Arduino Software (IDE) Includes A Serial Monitor Which Allows Simple Textual Data To Be Sent To And From The Board. The RX and TX Led’s On the Board Will Flash When Data Is Being Transmitted via the Atmega8u2/Atmega16u2 Chip and USB Connection to the Computer (But Not For Serial Communication On Pins 0 And 1).

The uops that are to be computed are dispatched to ports 0, 1, 5 and 6 and are executed in the respective execution units. The execution units in Haswell are arranged in three stacks: SIMD integer, integer and FP which operate independent from each other. Each stack has different data types, potentially different registers and result forwarding networks. The data path can connect with a given stack for accessing the registers and forwarding network. Forwarding between networks may need an extra cycle to move different stacks. The load and store units access the port numbers 2-4 and 7 accesses the integer by pass network thus reducing the access to the GPR and latency for forwarding.

Motherboard is like the body of a computer system it contains a socket to hold the processor and links a lot of internal components together such as RAM and graphics cards using communication buses. A motherboard is a printed circuit board and links the components using lines drawn on the circuit board. Motherboard holds the slots to insert RAM or graphics sound or network cards to improve system performance. The boards allow a computer engineer to upgrade the RAM so that a machine runs faster. A motherboard comes in different shapes and sizes so you have to make sure if components will fit your motherboard before you purchase them.

Logix5555 series of controller has a Logix CPU and a backplane CPU to divide its resources between them. 1756-CP3 serial cable is used to connect controller to the workstation. RSLinx communication software is used to configure the Device driver and RSLogix 5000 programming software,

Computer hardware engineers research, develop, and test computer systems and components such as processors, circuit boards, memory devices, and many more (Bureau of Labor Statistics). They design new computer hardware, create blueprints of computer equipment to be built. Test the completed models of the computer hardware that they design. Update existing equipment so that it will work will new software. Oversee the manufacturing process for the computer hardware. Maintain knowledge of computer engineering trends and new technology(Bureau of Labor Statistics).

As the nature of this research is firmly rooted in software development, work beyond the investigation of previous studies mostly consisted of developing a virtual microphone array prototype. The basis of familiarity, experience and their effectiveness in previous work were used to select the tools and techniques for development. As previous studies concluded it to be suitable for reproducing effective and efficient multi-channel spatialization, DBAP was chosen to calculate the virtual microphone array’s gain and delay parameters. The environments selected for hosting the software’s individual audio and visual components were Max 7 and Unity. While Unity’s audio engine is largely unsuitable for

The first thing I researched was the Raspberry Pi as it is the main component of this product. A Raspberry Pi is basically a single board computer with all the same components as a normal computer, but just much smaller. The main coding language that is used on a Raspberry Pi is Python (that is what language we decided to go with). Finding out that a Raspberry Pi is just a tiny computer I decided the next step would be to research the parts of a computer to fully understand how the Raspberry Pi would be handling the data sent to it by the modules. The first main part of a computer is the CPU (Central Processing Unit). The Central Processing Unit takes the data, numbers, and information given to the computer and processes it in to data that the other parts of the computer can use. The easiest way to describe it is as the “brains” of the computer as it basically does the same thing as our

In general, an SPI data link consists of one master; typically a microcontroller which controls one or more peripheral devices known as slaves. Both the master and the slaves share three common lines which include; MISO (Master In Slave Out) which is responsible for transferring data from the slave to the master; MOSI (Master Out Slave In) which is responsible for transferring data from the master to the slaves; and SCK (Serial Clock) which is created by the master and is responsible for synchronising the transmission of data between master and slave in respect clock pulses. There is also SS (Slave Select) line that is specific to a pin on each slave device and in which the master can use to enable and disable specific slave devices. In the case a slave device's SS pin is low, communication is enabled with the master. However in the case it is high, communication is disabled with the master. This allows multiple devices using SPI to share common MISO, MOSI, and CLK lines.

Reading through the requirement of this paper there were several options to choose from. There are several companies that offer integration to their customers such as SAP which is the leader in ERP solutions, Oracle which came to the industry after acquiring PeopleSoft back in 2005, Microsoft, and IBM. Reading the materials throughout this semester was interesting as it gave me an inside view of system integration and it made me think of the architecture of how companies integrate their system or the high level thought of how things are done when big companies acquire other companies. Researching all these four big companies, I found that Oracle had a lot of products that integrate systems and it seems they have a solution for a lot of major industry with pre-defined modules that help jump start the integration process. Everyone knows oracle as it’s a global computer technology company. The company primary specializes in developing and marketing computer hardware systems. The company also builds and develops databases and database products. , middle tier software, resource planning (ERP), customer relationship management and supply chain management software.

I certify that the work submitted for this assignment is my own. I have clearly referenced any sources used in the work. I understand that false declaration is a form of malpractice.

Software Based Approach: Hardware based approaches constitute only a part of the solution, they offer limited power knob options. Considering the continuously evolving hardware configurations and increasing hardware heterogeneity, data management software shall play an important role in energy optimization. Query optimization and physical data independence provide opportunities for software level control over power performance tradeoffs [7,32].
