How did the use of ARPANET change computing? Scientists were able to communicate over large distances.

Scientists could use computers that had different operating systems.

Computers no longer had to be wired to a main computer to communicate.

Scientists were able to connect to the World Wide Web through ARPANET.

Budgets you to do all of the following expect a) send frivolously b) avoid over spending c) gain financial independence d) examine your priorities and goals

Your friend kayla is starting her own business and asks you whether she should set it up as a p2p network or as a client-server network. list three questions you might ask to kayla decide which network to use and how her answers to those questions would affect your recommendation.

When making changes to optimize part of a processor, it is often the case that speeding up one type of instruction comes at the cost of slowing down something else. for example, if we put in a complicated fast floating-point unit, that takes space, and something might have to be moved farther away from the middle to accommodate it, adding an extra cycle in delay to reach that unit. the basic amdahl's law equation does not take into account this trade-off. a. if the new fast floating-point unit speeds up floating-point operations by, on average, 2ă—, and floating-point operations take 20% of the original program's execution time, what is the overall speedup (ignoring the penalty to any other instructions)? b. now assume that speeding up the floating-point unit slowed down data cache accesses, resulting in a 1.5ă— slowdown (or 2/3 speedup). data cache accesses consume 10% of the execution time. what is the overall speedup now? c. after implementing the new floating-point operations, what percentage of execution time is spent on floating-point operations? what percentage is spent on data cache accesses?
