VLSI is the process of creating an integrated circuit (IC) by combing thousands of transistors into a single chip. There are two

kinds of widely used IC technologies. One is FPGA and other is ASIC. Budget, power consumption, and speed are the common parameters considered for the selection of these technologies. Suppose, a medium volume production of an image transformation circuit is required. As a Circuit Design team lead, which one of the two IC technologies you will select considering the above given parameters for the design of production of required transformation circuit? Support your answer with valid reasons in either case.

Answer:

An FPGA is a field programmable gate array. It could be "programmed" to do certain task, but don't mistake it with a microprocessor. When programming an FPGA, you're actually changing it's physical structure, the logic gates inside the FPGA, to do the task for you. Therefore, unlike a microprocessor which has to run through a series of command, an FPGA could be rewired to run at a much faster and more efficient rate.

FPGA is good for testbenching and are budget friendly since they can be reprogrammed over and over again in case you messed up. However, they can be quite big and bulky, so they are not suitable for mass production.

ASIC in the other hand can be compact to a small size. ASIC are pretty much the IC chips that you use, like your Intel CPU or LM7000 series chips. However, the process of making them that small is irreversible, so if you messed up, you gotta throw away the whole batch. This make them expensive to make, but their small size and production process allows them to be made in bulk.

Both FPGA and ASIC are good for power consumption and speed because you're actually designing their physical circuit layout, so if your design is efficient then the product will be efficient in both speed and power as well.

In Summary, you design and test your circuit using an FPGA first. Then you send that design to a production company and they will use that design to mass produce it as a small chip.

Which of the following costs should be considered when providing your own Web server instead of using a cloud service provider o
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

A hardware and software support technician

Explanation:

If you provide your own web server, you also need <em>hardware and software support technicians</em> who will configure, manage, maintain and handle failures.

<em>A Web development team</em> is needed either you own your server or you are on cloud.

<em>The flexible subscription fee that varies upon the resources used </em>is an option in cloud.

<em>The market</em> does not response directly to the decision of server hosting

Discussion Question 10: A bank in California has 13 branches spread throughout northern California , each with its own minicompu
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

The system that will be more prone to attack or vulnerability is the  bank that has ten branches spread throughout California with the data being stored on a mainframe in San Francisco.

Explanation:

Solution

If the databases are not shared by all the branches throughout the network, they could not be hacked or accessed easily. but when the systems are in a network and share databases or resources,then these could be more vulnerable  to unauthorized persons or individuals.

The data been stored on a mainframe in San Francisco that is a centralized access by 10 branches of another bank. what this implies is that networking is involved or used to share data.

With this example, the chances of vulnerability or attacks increases from the following :

  • Accounts payable could be disturbed by changing cash in payment false.
  • Entering incorrect data into the system. such transactions can be altered, deleted by unauthorized persons.
  • Transaction fraud like hacking, masquerading are very common in a networked system.
