Assignment 1-Questions Assignment Description: Description: This assignment consists of two parts: Part A: An online quiz Assignment 1, which includes 38 questions. Students may have 3 attempts at this quiz. The system will keep the highest grade. Part B: Identify computer components, market latest trends in Computer System and number conversion. There are four questions in this part. Part B B-Q1. (30 marks) Computer Systems: Objective: To use your knowledge of modern computing components to select the appropriate components to create a number of computers. Prepare a bill of different individual components with their cost and total cost of the computer that can be bought from different online stores. You should include URLs to an online shop and access date. You should ensure that the components are compatible and include a case, keyboard, mouse and monitor. Prepare a bill within the following specifications and limitations: a) A personal desktop computer with a quad core CPU and onboard graphic card. (Max $1000 budget). [10 marks] b) A rack server computer with Intel processor and 16GB memory (you should ensure you use ECC memory) (max $2000). [10 Marks] c) A gaming desktop with an 8GB CUDA GPU (max $2500 budget). [10 Marks] You should briefly describe why the choices you have made would be appropriate for each of the computers and provide comparison of products (at least 2 products). Your response should ensure that the features used in system assembling. The cheapest computer should be relatively small. B-Q2. Below is a motherboard with 10 unlabeled parts (numbered 1–10, to be clear). For each of these numbers, perform the following activities: 1. Label the each component with its name. 2. Write the function of the each component. [10 Marks] Figure 1: motherboard B-Q3 Memory capacity and clock speed are two important characteristics of GPU. Justify this statement and explain about other GPU performance parameters. Prepare a report with introduction, body and conclusion. [10 Marks] B-Q4 1. Write a short paragraph on hexadecimal notation. 2. Perform the following conversion: a. Covert (25.15)10 to binary. b. Convert (11111011.1011) 2 to decimal. c. Convert (35)10 to hexadecimal. d. Convert (54.3)10 to IEEE754 floating point format in hexadecimal format [15 Marks] Marking Criteria: Section to be included in the report Description of the section Marks Assignment 1 quiz Online quiz on Moodle 30 B-Q1 Identify Components (3) Justification (3) Presentation (2) Reference style (IEEE) (2) 3x10=30 B-Q2 1.
