This is called a "heat sink", essentially, a metal plate makes indirect <span>(its separated by thermal paste)</span> contact with the heat spreader of a cpu (central processing unit). The concept is that the heat sink is made of highly conductive materials thus conducting heat away from the CPU, quite often you'll find a fan attached to further disparate heat away from the heat-sink. These days you'll alternative cooling methods, the most common alternative is to use watercooling (another topic). GPU (graphic processing units) also have heatsinks.

Write a Scheme function called "sum" which takes an input function func and a nonnegative number n and outputs the value
solong [7]

Answer:

function sum(number) {

      if (number == 1) {

             return 1;

      }

      return number + sum(number -1);

}

Explanation:

This is a recursive function, it means that is a function that calls itself for example: if you call the function with sum(5) the process is :

sum(5)

   |______ 5 + sum(4)

                           |_______ 4 + sum(3)

                                                       |______ 3 + sum(2)

                                                                                   |_____2 + sum(1)

                                                                                                        |_____ 1

                                                                                                 

the result is 1+2+3+4+5 = 15

Using Amdahl’s Law, calculate the speedup gain of an application that has a 60 percent parallel component for (a) two processing
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

a) Speedup gain is 1.428 times.

b) Speedup gain is 1.81 times.

Explanation:

in order to calculate the speedup again of an application that has a 60 percent parallel component using Anklahls Law is speedup which state that:

t=\frac{1 }{(S + (1- S)/N) }

Where S is the portion of the application that must be performed serially, and N is the number of processing cores.

(a) For N = 2 processing cores, and a 60%, then S = 40% or 0.4

Thus, the speedup is:

t = \frac{1}{(0.4 + (1-0.4)/2)} =1428671

Speedup gain is 1.428 times.

(b) For N = 4 processing cores and a 60%, then S = 40% or 0.4

Thus, the speedup is:

t=\frac{1}{(0.4 + (1-0.4)/4)} = 1.8181

Speedup gain is 1.81 times.

An alternative to hexadecimal notation for representing bit patterns is dotted decimal notation in which each byte
zysi [14]

An alternative to hexadecimal notation for representing bit patterns is dotted decimal notation in which each byte in the pattern is represented by its base ten equivalent. In turn, these byte representations are separated by periods. For example, 12.5 represents the pattern 0000110000000101 (the byte00001100 is represented by 12, and 00000101 is represented by 5), and the pattern 100010000001000000000111 is represented by 136.16.7. Represent each of the following bit patterns in dotted decimal notation,

a. 0000111100001111 b. 001100110000000010000000c. 0000101010100000
