Project: building a computer
now that you have learned about the major hardware components of computers, it is time to put that knowledge to good use. believe it or not, not every business buys new computers that arrive already assembled. sometimes, the company purchases components and asks someone from the it or desk team to build computers from scratch. this is your chance.

the new chief financial officer for your company will be starting next week and she or he needs a new computer. she or he does not have any special video or graphic needs, though she or he works extensively on the internet and with multiple complex spreadsheets at one time.

pull together a list of the major hardware components (input, output, memory, storage, etc.) you will need for the new computer. be specific about size, speed, and capacity, and whenever possible include the brand and model name of the product (such as intel© core™ i5 processor or amd 990fx chipset).

digitally or on paper, draw a representation of the motherboard and indicate where each component goes. indicate how the component is connected to the motherboard—via a socket, port, slot, etc.

next, write a brief explanation of why you selected the products and brands you did. for example, did you select a certain motherboard because of the form factor? or choose the memory chip because it works best for heavy spreadsheet users?

also create a brief flowchart of the process of putting the computer together, starting with laying out all the components on the table and ending with screwing the computer case on.

Design a pos circuit that displays the letters a through j on a seven-segment indicator. the circuit has four inputs w, x, y, and z which represent the last 4 bits of the uppercase ascii code for the letter to be displayed. thus, if wxyz = 0001 then "a" will be displayed. (any answer with 22 or fewer gates and inverters, not counting any for the inputs, is acceptable)

The instruction ishl (shift left integer) exists in jvm but not in ijvm. it uses the top two values on the stack, replacing the two with a single value, the result. the sec- ond-from-top word of the stack is the operand to be shifted. its content is shifted left by a value between 0 and 31, inclusive, depending on the value of the 5 least signifi- cant bits of the top word on the stack (the other 27 bits of the top word are ignored). zeros are shifted in from the right for as many bits as the shift count. the opcode for ishl is 120 (0x78).a. what is the arithmetic operation equivalent to shifting left with a count of 2? b. extend the microcode to include this instruction as a part of ijv.
