Extractions: pshuang@alum.mit.edu Although he knows very little about 3D graphics, Ping Huang is a software engineer at Silicon Graphics. Previously he worked on the Gauntlet firewall product and on the IRIX kernel; currently he is working on system software for the new line of Intel/NT-based graphics workstations. Much press has been made about the increasing push of Wintel systems into what formerly has been nearly exclusively the domain of UNIX workstations and servers. Closer to home, substantial ink has been used to discuss specifically how to administer such heterogeneous environments. However, even if you administer an environment that continues to consist entirely or nearly entirely of UNIX workstations and servers, you should keep an eye on developments in the PC world as UNIX system vendors increasingly incorporate commodity I/O technology from the Wintel world into their systems. From the customer's point of view, the use of components and peripherals that benefit from the economies of scale of the Wintel world can be a great thing, especially in arenas where alternative technologies that the UNIX system vendors could incorporate into their systems instead don't offer any compelling value add. Examples of I/O technology that have already been widely adopted among UNIX system vendors include PS/2 ports for keyboards and mice and VGA-style connectors for monitors. There's little meaningful value add in having keyboards and mice that use proprietary connectors, and system vendors that continue to use them make it difficult for customers with ergonomic needs or unusual requirements to obtain what they need. Similarly, few tears should be shed now that the drawer full of oddball monitor cables can largely be packed away and forgotten.

Extractions: sponsored by: OSdata.com Basics of computer hardware A computer is a programmable machine (or more precisely, a programmable sequential state machine) . There are two basic kinds of computers: analog and digital. Analog computers are analog devices. That is, they have continuous states rather than discrete numbered states. An analog computer can represent fractional or irrational values exactly, with no round-off. Analog computers are almost never used outside of experimental settings. A digital computer is a programmable clocked sequential state machine. A digital computer uses discrete states. A binary digital computer uses two discrete states, such as positive/negative, high/low, on/off, used to represent the binary digits zero and one. what are computers used for? Computers are used for a wide variety of purposes. Data processing Scientific processing is using a computer to support science. This can be as simple as gathering and analyzing raw data and as complex as modelling natural phenomenon (weather and climate models, thermodynamics, nuclear engineering, etc.). Multimedia includes content creation (composing music, performing music, recording music, editing film and video, special effects, animation, illustration, laying out print materials, etc.) and multimedia playback (games, DVDs, instructional materials, etc.).

Extractions: This page is for references to manfacturers and machines supporting the Intel MultiProcessor Specification . I believe all these machines will run Windows NT and possibly OS/2 SMP, for example, but I'm most interested in compatibility with the various SMP versions of the free OSes. To my knowledge, all Pentium Pro SMP systems should work perfectly fine with my startup code, which is already in Linux-SMP. It is known to work for many Pentium systems, but there has been at least one system which the user claimed it failed on (an ALR Revolution Q-SMP dual-Pentium), though I can't get into contact with him now to try to debug it. This is not any kind of "official" guide. Any of these entries may be inaccurate, especially those I don't have links directly to. For those, I simply wrote what I thought was the case. If you need to rely on anything, go to the manfacturer first! In the interest of accuracy anyway... if you have additions, comments, or corrections about various kinds of hardware, please e-mail me with relevant details. Comments about compatibility are also welcome!
Intel® 1394 Technology In summary, though Wireless 1394 does not replace hardware 1394 in the PC host USB)USB 1.1, and its highspeed successor, USB 2.0, are serial buses with some http://www.intel.com/technology/1394/
Extractions: IEEE 1394 is a high-speed serial bus alternatively known as "FireWire"* and "i.Link"*. 1394 has been broadly adopted by the consumer electronics (CE) industry as the single bus to unify communications between their emerging all-digital CE devices. One of its key characteristics is that it can deliver "isochronous" data, which means "guaranteed delivery," critical for audio/video data types. The small 1394 connectors and serial cables are "consumer friendly." And 1394's protocols support plug-and-play operation. Today, 1394 is nearly universal on consumer digital camcorders, in both miniDV and Digital8 formats, offering a way to connect to PCs for digital video editing with no loss in image quality. Tomorrow, expect to see 1394 interfaces on all the advanced digital products coming from the consumer electronics industry. For example, the OpenCable* specification from U.S.-based Cable Labs* requires 1394 on all new digital settop boxes. Sonys PlayStation2* has a 1394 port. Expect to see 1394 inputs on future digital television sets, satellite and cable settop boxes, and digital video recorders. For the PC, 1394 provides a bridge to the rich entertainment content of consumer electronics. Intel strongly endorses the implementation of 1394 host capabilities in consumer PCs, which is easily accomplished either with PCI add-in cards or for the motherboard manufacturer - with PCI-to-1394 silicon available from a broad range of manufacturers. In fact, the connected PC can then bring significant value to clusters of 1394 consumer electronics devices though file storage and transfers, editing, and device command and control.

In computer architecture a bus is a subsystem that transfers data or power between computer components inside a computer or between computers. Unlike a point-to-point connection, a bus can logically connect several peripherals over the same set of wires. Early computer buses were literally parallel electrical buses with multiple connections, but the term is now used for any physical arrangement that provides the same logical functionality as a parallel electrical bus. Modern computer buses can use both parallel and bit-serial connections, and can be wired in either a multidrop (electrical parallel) or daisy-chain topology, or connected by switched hubs, as in the case of

Extractions: Links to other sites of interest Introduction For many years now I have been working with the latest technology using high-powered computers. However, nothing nowadays can replace the time when the first home microcomputers hit the streets. I am a keen collector of the home computer era. Follow this link to see my current collection. In those days you HAD to make your programs fit the hardware and memory available. The micro UK101 described here is effectively the "core" of the original UK101. I have removed the display and the keyboard circuitry and, instead, used a terminal emulation program (eg HyperTerm with Win95) as the keyboard/display. This has resulted in a very simple circuit which is suiltable for use embedded-control applications as well as a fully-functioning computer. I have tried to make as few functional changes as possible to allow old software to work, wherever possible. As a result the BASIC ROM is totally untouched. Some patches have been applied to the CEGMON ROM to ensure ALL I/O is via the serial port only, not to the screen. The differences are illustrated in the table below:
Extractions: PCI cards are available in a variety of configurations. Not all cards will fit or operate in all PCI slots, so it is important to know the specifications of your PCI cards and the types of cards supported by each PCI slot in the system. Older PCI cards communicate over 32-bit PCI buses, while many newer cards communicate over wider 64-bit buses. All four of the PCI slots accept either 32-bit or 64-bit wide cards. The table below shows the mapping of the PCI slots to the two PCI buses and the type of PCI cards supported in each slot. A 64 / 32 or 64 33 or 66 3.3 v or Universal B 64 / 32 or 64 5.5 v or Universal B 64 / 32 or 64 5.5 v or Universal B 5.5 v or Universal For the board addresses of the PCI slots on the main logic board, see the Sun Fire 280R Server Service Manual The following rules apply for your system: All slots support PCI universal cards. All slots support PCI long or short cards.
