Computer Architecture and Components: A Deep Dive
Computer Architecture and Components
A computer is a digital device that accepts information and manipulates it for some result based on a program, software, or sequence of instructions on how the data is to be processed.
Basic Elements of a Computer
- Hardware: Consists of tangible objects, the physical parts of the computer.
- Software: Consists of algorithms and their computer representations: programs.
Evolution of Computers
First Generation:
ENIAC. It consisted of 18,000 vacuum tubes and 1,500 relays.
CAD and Product Design: Stages, Models, and Benefits
CAD and Product Design
In product design, a prototype is developed and evaluated to determine the acceptance, rejection, or revision of the design.
Model Trial and Evaluation
In CAD, the topology, shapes, and dimensions of the product are graphically displayed on a computer.
Geometric Modeling
This stage of CAD is important for communicating design information to other areas without loss of information.
Documentation and Information Interchange
In CAD, the design is evaluated to check if it complies with
