ENTER 40 ON REPLY CARD COMMENT Predicting the unpredictable How technological advancements will affect the future is remarkably difficult to EDITOR predict. There is no need to go back to the industrial revolution to find evidence of this Philip Darrington statement. As many of you will remember, not too many years ago experts predicted EDITOR - INDUSTRY INSIGHT that the country would soon be run by a big brother computer. Geoffrey Shorter, B.Sc. Were it not for microprocessors we might now have a big brother. Admittedly there 01-661 8639 are a few large central computers doing mainly specific tasks, and the day might still come when our destinies are determined by a central supercomputer, but the majority DEPUTY EDITOR of today's processing is done locally - in offices. laboratories, shops, factories and in Martin Eccles 01-6618638 the home. And, on the subject of predictions, who can say with any certainty whether COMMUNICATIONS EDITOR computers will eventually create jobs or cause even more unemployment? Popular Richard Lambley answers to this question are frequently evaluated from political rather than computer 01-661 3039 knowledge, which is perhaps what flawed the central -computer theory. ILLUSTRATION One of the bolder predictions made recently comes from researchers at the Georgia Roger Goodman Institute of Technology who say that by the year 2000, operators will be instructing 01-661 8690 computers in plain language, not by entering commands on a keyboard.

U prvom poglavlju data je opšta podela magistrala, ukratko je opisan njihov način funkcionisanja, dati su odgovarajući standardi, generacije, a ukratko su opisane i suerbrze magistrale. U drugom poglavlju dat je alfabetni spisak portova, od kojih je većina obuhvaćena ovim radom. Treće poglavlje odnosi se na portove personalnih računara, kako Pentium tako i Apple i Mackintosh. Četvrti deo odnosi se na opisane portove i interfejse i njihovo međusobno poređenje. U ovom poglavlju date su i detaljne tabele u kojima su navedene i opisane neke od najvažnijih funkcija. I konačno, peto poglavlje se odnosi na hardver – USB portove, memorijske kartice SCSI portove. U Nišu, 03.10.2008. godine 3 1. Magistrale Prilagodljivost personalnog računara - njegova sposobnost da se proširi pomoću više vrsta interfejsa dozvoljavajući priključivanje mnogo različitih klasa dodatnih sastavnih delova i periferijskih uredjaja - bila je jedan od ključnnih razloga njegovog uspeha. U suštini, moderni PC računarski sistem malo se razlikuje od originalne IBM konstrukcije - to je skup komponenata, kako unutrašnjih tako i spoljašnjih, medjusobno povezanih pomoću elektronskih magistrala, preko kojih podaci putuju, dok se obavlja ciklus obrade koji ih pretvara od podataka ulaza u podatke izlaza.

  • Appendix 1 Asynchronous Sequential Logic Design
    Appendix 1 Asynchronous Sequential Logic Design In this appendix a design method for asynchronous sequential logic design will be described. This method can be used to solve the problem specified in section 3.3, but as this is complicated the technique will be explained first using a simpler example, and then used on the more complex problem. This simpler example is a logic problem involving dynamic RAMs. These RAMs can perform a normal memory cycle (where data are read or written) or a refresh cycle. The two address strobes, RAS and CAS", determine which cycle is occurring, according to the following: If RAS goes low and then 'CAJ goes low, a normal memory cycle is instigated and continues while both strobes remain low. If'CAJ goes low and then RAS goes low, a refresh cycle is instigated and continues while both strobes remain low. A circuit is required which determines which cycle, if any, the RAM is operating. A suitable design technique for this problem is given below, though more detail can be found in Design of Logic Systems by D. Lewin. Al.l Sequentiallogic A normal combinational logic circuit is one whose outputs are determined by its current inputs. The outputs of a sequential logic circuit are deter­ mined by the current and the past inputs to the circuit. Inherent, therefore, in a sequential logic circuit is memory. A block diagram of a sequential circuit or machine is shown in figure Al.l. Inputs ===! Combinational I==:> Outputs Logic Memory Internal States ~----------~ Figure Al.l A sequential machine 191 192 Micro Systems Using the STE Bus There are two forms of sequential logic machines: synchronous and asynchronous.

The new lecture series commemorates Alec Reeves, an alumnus of Imperial College London. Reeves is widely regarded as 'the father of the digital age' in that he was the inventor of Pulse Code Modulation, one of the platforms which underpins today's pervasive digital technology, and also undertook important work on radar and radio navigation in wartime Britain. Read more about Alec Reeves below. The 2006 Alec Reeves Lectures, will be given by David Robertson and Tony Sale. David, a well known communicator on science and technology, will be talking about the life and work of Reeves himself. Tony has long been associated with the historical and technical aspects of the vital wartime code-breaking activities, mainly undertaken at Bletchley Park, and will be talking about the events leading up to the re-build of the Colossus computer. 14.30 Alec Reeves: designer of the digital age - David Robertson - Room 408 - from 15.30 Strategic Advisory Group - Poster Presentations will be held in Room 509 17.30 The Lorenz cipher - Fish, Tunny and Colossus - Tony Sale - Room 408.

Many countries send more than one representative. The SC25 meeting is formal and is based upon procedural issues. Therefore most of this report is on the work on WG4 which is where T10 and T11 participate. The Scope of SC25 covers: Home electronics (WG1), Premises wiring (WG3), and Device interfaces (WG4). The first two groups, WG1 and WG3 were merged into SC25 from IEC and are different than the work of WG4, Device interfaces. To further complicate things, SC26, Microprocessor System was just merged into WG4. SC26 derived most of its projects from IEEE Computer Society Microprocessor Standards Committee. At this meeting WG4 went over past, current and possible future works as well as changing the name and Scope of WG4 and SC25 to reflect this merge in projects. Jurgen Märgner of IBM took over WG4 as official Convenor at this meeting. He is excellent and a real asset to this group. This SC25/WG4 report includes three documents: Attached below are the Resolutions and Action Points of WG4 (all were approved), the draft minutes, and, from the T10/11 web site, the chart T10/01-275r0 and T11/01-395v2. I have made some remarks (beginning with a ~ and using a red font). The Minutes are interesting but the Resolutions are the only official results of the meeting.
