They are as follows-

Speed
Accuracy
Storage
Versatility
Diligence
Automation
Reliability
Power of Remembering

Let us understand each characteristic in brief:-

Speed – Speed of a computer means the time it takes to complete any given task. The computer works at a very lightning speed. For example, a computer takes a second to calculate 3 million calculations rather than a human which takes years. Hence nowadays the speed of the computer is measured in terms of microseconds, Nanoseconds, and even in Pico seconds instead of seconds or milliseconds.


Accuracy – The computers are programmed and designed in such a manner that their results are almost 100% accurate. It performs all the tasks with the same accuracy. There are very few chances of uncertainty in results and even though an error occurs, it can happen either due to wrong input data or unreliable programs by a programmer. Such errors are referred to as Garbage In Garbage Out (GIGO) which means, if you provide wrong instructions to the computer then you get wrong results.


Versatility – Along with being accurate and diligent a computer is also a versatile device. It can perform several types of tasks at a time if they are reduced to a certain set of logical steps. A computer can be used for many purposes at different places such as booking air and rail tickets, weather forecasting, listening to music, and playing games. Also at a time, one can pay his utility bills and can make a monthly budget too. It can prepare documents, data sheets and also can make models of houses, dams, etc.
Diligence – The ability of a computer to perform tasks without getting tired is known as diligence. Computers are highly reliable, they do not get fed up, exhausted, or lack concentration. They can work for hours and hours unlike humans and can give accurate or error-free results. For example, humans will start feeling tired after 2 -3 hours and will lack concentration whereas a computer will keep on working until the results are achieved.
Automation – Automation means working automatically. A computer can work on its own without the intervention of the person using it. Programs can be made for the computer to perform the task and based on the sequence it executes the tasks and gives accurate results. In case an error occurs, it gives error messages too and registers the logs.
Reliability – High reliability of a computer depends on low failure rate and easy maintenance. The results given out by the computer are reliable as the accuracy is almost 100%.
Power of Remembering – The computer has the power of storing data or information for several years. It cannot lose the data on its own. A person can retrieve the data whenever required and the data remains the same after a number of years also. It gives the freedom to the user to decide on how much data to store and how much to remove.

1. Consider a city of 10 square kilometers. A macro cellular system design divides the city up into square cells of 1 square kil
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

a) n = 1000\,users, b)\Delta t_{min} = \frac{1}{30}\,h, \Delta t_{max} = \frac{\sqrt{2} }{30}\,h, \Delta t_{mean} = \frac{1 + \sqrt{2} }{60}\,h, c) n = 10000000\,users, \Delta t_{min} = \frac{1}{3000}\,h, \Delta t_{max} = \frac{\sqrt{2} }{3000}\,h, \Delta t_{mean} = \frac{1 + \sqrt{2} }{6000}\,h

Explanation:

a) The total number of users that can be accomodated in the system is:

n = \frac{10\,km^{2}}{1\,\frac{km^{2}}{cell} }\cdot (100\,\frac{users}{cell} )

n = 1000\,users

b) The length of the side of each cell is:

l = \sqrt{1\,km^{2}}

l = 1\,km

Minimum time for traversing a cell is:

\Delta t_{min} = \frac{l}{v}

\Delta t_{min} = \frac{1\,km}{30\,\frac{km}{h} }

\Delta t_{min} = \frac{1}{30}\,h

The maximum time for traversing a cell is:

\Delta t_{max} = \frac{\sqrt{2}\cdot l }{v}

\Delta t_{max} = \frac{\sqrt{2} }{30}\,h

The approximate time is giving by the average of minimum and maximum times:

\Delta t_{mean} = \frac{1+\sqrt{2} }{2}\cdot\frac{l}{v}

\Delta t_{mean} = \frac{1 + \sqrt{2} }{60}\,h

c) The total number of users that can be accomodated in the system is:

n = \frac{10\times 10^{6}\,m^{2}}{100\,m^{2}}\cdot (100\,\frac{users}{cell} )

n = 10000000\,users

The length of each side of the cell is:

l = \sqrt{100\,m^{2}}

l = 10\,m

Minimum time for traversing a cell is:

\Delta t_{min} = \frac{l}{v}

\Delta t_{min} = \frac{0.01\,km}{30\,\frac{km}{h} }

\Delta t_{min} = \frac{1}{3000}\,h

The maximum time for traversing a cell is:

\Delta t_{max} = \frac{\sqrt{2}\cdot l }{v}

\Delta t_{max} = \frac{\sqrt{2} }{3000}\,h

The approximate time is giving by the average of minimum and maximum times:

\Delta t_{mean} = \frac{1+\sqrt{2} }{2}\cdot\frac{l}{v}

\Delta t_{mean} = \frac{1 + \sqrt{2} }{6000}\,h

Integer to Float Conversion All labs must be done during lab time. Each labs worth 10 points The lab can be hand in next day wit
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

Code explained below

Explanation:

.data

msg1: .asciiz "Please input a temperature in celsius: "

msg2: .asciiz "The temperature in Fahrenheit is: => "

num: .float 0.0

.text

main:

#print the msg1

li $v0, 4

la $a0, msg1

syscall

#read the float value from user

li $v0,6 #read float syscall value is $v0

syscall #read value stored in $f0

#formula for celsius to fahrenheit is

#(temperature(C)* 9/5)+32

#li.s means load immediate float

#copy value 9.0 to $f2

li.s $f2,9.0  

#copy value 5.0 to $f3

li.s $f3,5.0

# following instructions performs: 9/5

#div.s - division of two float numbers

#divide $f2 and f3.Result will stores in $f1

div.s $f1,$f2,$f3

#following instruction performs: temperature(C) * (9/5)

#multiple $f1 and $f0.Result stored in $f1

mul.s $f1,$f1,$f0

#copy value 32 to $f4

li.s $f4,32.0

#following instruction performs: (temperature(C) * (9/5))+32

#add $f1 and $f4.Result stores in $f1

add.s $f1,$f1,$f4

#store float from $f1 to num

s.s $f1,num

#print the msg2

li $v0, 4 #print string syscall value is 4

la $a0, msg2 #copy address of msg2 to $a0

#print the float

syscall

li $v0,2 #print float syscall value is 2

l.s $f12,num #load value in num to $f12

syscall

#terminate the program

li $v0, 10 #terminate the program syscall value is 10
