Study Notes
Introduction to Computer Systems
- A computer system is a combination of hardware and software that works together to process information, solve problems, and perform tasks.
- Modern computer systems are digital machines that operate based on binary logic (0s and 1s).
- Binary data representation is used to store and manipulate information in a computer.
Data Representation in Digital Computers
- Digital computers use electronic switches that have two states: on (1) and off (0).
- Binary digits (bits) represent these states.
- Groups of bits are used to represent characters, numbers, and other data in binary code.
- Alphanumeric codes represent characters, numbers, and special symbols (e.g., ASCII).
- The American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) uses 7 or 8 bits to represent a character.
Analog vs. Digital Signals
- Analog signals are continuous waveforms that vary smoothly over time.
- Digital signals are discrete signals that represent values using Os and 1s.
- Analog signals are used in traditional audio and video transmission.
- Digital signals are commonly used in modern electronic devices and communication systems.
Logic Gates
- Logic gates are fundamental building blocks of digital circuits.
- They perform logical operations using binary inputs (0 or 1) to produce a single binary output.
- Common logic gates include AND, OR, NOT, NAND, and NOR gates.
Boolean Algebra and K-Maps
- Boolean algebra is a mathematical system for representing and manipulating logical statements.
- Boolean functions can be simplified using Karnaugh maps (K-maps).
- K-maps are graphical representations of truth tables that allow for the visualization and simplification of Boolean expressions.
Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
- SDLC is a structured approach to software development.
- It involves various phases, including defining the problem, requirements engineering, design, development, testing, deployment, and maintenance.
- Common SDLC phases ensure that software development proceeds systematically from initial planning till final testing.
Network Topologies
- Network topologies describe how devices are connected in a network.
- Common topologies include bus, star, ring, mesh and tree.
- Each topology has varying advantages and disadvantages in terms of cost, scalability, reliability, and maintenance.
Cybersecurity
- Cybersecurity is about protecting electronic systems and data from malicious activities.
- Common threats include malware, phishing, denial-of-service attacks, and insider threats.
- Essential precautions include strong passwords, antivirus software, firewalls, and encryption.
- Cybersecurity is a crucial aspect in today's digital age and is vital for protecting sensitive information and critical infrastructure.
Cloud Computing
- Cloud computing is a technology model where computing resources are provided over the internet.
- Cloud computing offers several advantages such as scalability, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness.
- Key characteristics of cloud computing are resource pooling, rapid elasticity, measured service, and broad network access.
- The main service models include Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS).
