CHAPTER 6: INSIDE COMPUTERS AND MOBILE DEVICES & IMAGE EDITOR(GIMP)

INSIDE THE CASE
The case contains and protects the electronics of the computer or mobile device from damage
1.      The motherboard is the main circuit board of the computer
·         A computer chip contains integrated circuits
PROCESSORS
2.      The processor, also called the central processing unit (CPU), interprets and carries out the basic instructions that operate a computer
·         Contain a control unit and an arithmetic logic unit (ALU)

3.      A multi-core processor is a single chip with two or more separate processor cores
4.      The control unit is the component of the processor that directs and coordinates most of the operations in the computer
5.      The arithmetic logic unit (ALU) performs arithmetic, comparison, and other operations
6.      For every instruction, a processor repeats a set of four basic operations, which consist of a machine cycle.

7.      The leading manufacturers of personal computer processor chips are Intel and AMD
8.      A processor chip generates heat that could cause the chip to malfunction or fail

9.      Require additional cooling
·         Heat sinks
·         Liquid cooling technology
·         Cooling mats
CLOUD COMPUTING
Home and business users choose cloud computing for a variety of reasons
1.      Accessibility
2.      Cost savings
3.      Space savings
4.      Scalability
DATA REPRESENTATION
1.      Analog signals are continuous and vary in strength and quality and Digital signals are in one of two states: on or off
·         Most computers are digital
·         The binary system uses two unique digits (0 and 1)
2.      The circuitry in a computer or mobile device represents the on or the off states electronically by the presence or absence of an electronic charge. Eight bits grouped together as a unit are called a byte. A byte represents a single character in the computer or mobile device.

MEMORY
1.      Memory consists of electronic components that store instructions waiting to be executed by the processor, data needed by those instructions, and the results of processing the data
2.      Stores three basic categories of items:
·         The operating system and other programs
·         Applications
·         Data being processed and the resulting information
3.      The system unit contains two types of memory:
Volatile memory
NonVolatile memory
Loses its contents when power is turned off
Does not lose contents when power is removed
Example includes RAM

Examples include ROM, flash memory, and CMOS

Read-only memory (ROM) refers to memory chips storing permanent data and instructions
4.      Flash memory can be erased electronically and rewritten.

5.      Access time is the amount of time it takes the processor to read from memory
·         Measured in nanoseconds
ADAPTERS
1.      An adapter card enhances functions of a component of a desktop or server system unit and/or provides connections to peripherals
·         Sound card and graphics card

2.      An expansion slot is a socket on a desktop or server motherboard that can hold an adapter card.

3.      With Plug and Play, the computer automatically can recognize peripheral devices as you install them.
POWER SUPPLY AND BATTERY
1.      The power supply or laptop AC adapter converts the wall outlet AC power into DC power
power supply(for pc)

laptop AC adapter(for laptop)

2.      Mobile computers and devices can run using either a power supply or batteries
3.      Batteries typically are rechargeable lithium-ion batteries
Battery laptop
Battery smartphone

IMAGE EDITING
In the class lecturer was show me how to edit picture by using GIMP. This app is so easy to use if who want to learn how to edit the picture. So in this lesson lecturer was teaching how to make a poster about Hari Raya Aidil-Adha combined with Hari Merdeka. The technique that using in this editing is arrangement the layer of the image, crop, and blur the image.This app is not just use for edit the  poster but for banner also can make by using this app.
this is GIMP wall
This is my poster by using GIMP app
