Study Notes
Tablet Computers
- Touchscreens are the primary interface for portable devices.
- Two types of touchscreens: resistive and capacitive.
- Resistive touchscreens respond to pressure; they are less sensitive but offer higher resolution.
- Capacitive touchscreens detect electrical properties of skin and support multi-touch functionality.
Standards Organizations
- IEEE: Promotes electronic and computer engineering; publishes technical literature.
- ITU: Based in Geneva; formerly known as the International Consultative Committee on Telephony and Telegraphy.
- Standards set by these organizations influence computer architecture and organization.
Parallel Processing
- Parallel processing enables multitasking and solving complex problems.
- Some classify parallel processors as extensions of the von Neumann architecture.
- Multiple independent cores are used for parallel processing, as opposed to a single core in traditional models.
Machine Intelligence: Deep Blue and Watson
- Watson analyzed terabytes of unstructured data, including medical records and clinical feedback.
- It completed 25,000 test scenarios and 1500 real-life cases showing its understanding of complex medical data.
- The work involved consuming extensive medical literature, illustrating the challenge of interpreting human language in computing.
Number Systems Performance Task
- Differentiation of positional number systems (e.g., Roman vs. binary, octal, hexadecimal).
- Binary number system has a radix of 2; it represents values in base 2.
- Various quiz questions on converting numbers between binary, octal, and hexadecimal systems emphasize foundational knowledge in digital computation.
Assessment Rubric for Presentations
- Scores reflect content accuracy, organization, development of points, and language use.
- Clear answers, logical progression, and well-supported information are essential for high scores.
- Grammatical accuracy and a strong command of technical terminology enhance presentation quality.
