Part 1: File Server Solution
In this Assessment, you will propose a file server solution for a small business. Provide an introduction which describes a file server and how it might be used for the small business. Create a table that shows a comparison of different memory types. Create a second table that shows a comparison of different CPUs. The paper should have separate sections for a discussion of each of the following:
CPU
Memory
Bus
DMA
Storage
Interrupts
Input/output peripherals
Monitor
Analyze several of the possible choices for CPU, memory, storage, and input/output peripherals, and then make a recommendation for a specific file server solution. Justify the choices that you recommend.
Include a diagram built in Microsoft® Visio®, Microsoft® PowerPoint®, or Word that depicts the chosen CPU architecture.
The proposal should also include two comparison tables: one for CPU comparison and one for memory comparison.
Part 2: Ram and Interrupts
Respond to the following questions:
1. Name two ways that, as a programmer, you can improve cache performance.
2. Look up a specific vendor’s specifications for memory and report the memory access time, cache access time, and cache hit rate (and any other data the vendor provides). Make sure to include the vendor’s information including the URL.
3. Define the terms seek time, rotational delay, and transfer time. Explain their relationship.
4. A CPU with interrupt-driven I/O is busy servicing a disk request. While the CPU is midway through the disk-service routine, another I/O interrupt occurs.
a. What happens next?
b. Is it a problem?
c. If not, why not? If so, what can be done about it?
