For your personal use, what would be the most ideal home network setup and why?  Describe it fully.  Number of devices, connection types, uses for devices, etcetera.

Your design will be a list of all the specifications that this network will have.  In addition, you will need to write up a document explaining why you have selected these specifications, features, and components.

At a minimum you must consider the following items in your design.

1. Cost
2. Functionality
3. Connecting devices
4. Internet connections

Devices to consider on your network can include but are not limited to:

• Printers
• DVRs
• Smart TVs
• Gaming Consoles
• Appliances
• Computers
• Mobile devices
• Digital media players
• Smart home devices

Document minimum requirements:

• A minimum of one full paragraph in addition to a neatly ordered equipment list. (DO NOT copy the list from the Internet)
• Your submission must have three to seven devices excluding the modem and router.
• Submit only one document via the link title above.
• Use paragraph structure. Use complete sentences and proper grammar and spelling.
• Include a header that contains your name, the assignment name, and the course code from page two of the syllabus.
• Your document must be one of the following formats (.doc, .docx, or .rtf).
• Cite any and all sources.

Activity I: As part of your company’s effort to select a project management software package, you have been asked to approach several other companies that presently use such packages.

1. Develop a questionnaire to help collect the relevant information.
2. Fill out two questionnaires, each representing a different software package.
3. Compare the responses of the companies and select the best software of the two.

Activity II: Identify two projects in which you have been involved recently.

1. Describe each project briefly.
2. Suggest criteria that may have been used to identify the start of the termination phase of each project.
3. Give two examples of activities that were performed poorly during the termination phase of either project, and suggest measures that might have been taken to improve the situation.

Edition: 15TH

This week’s written activity is a three-part activity. You will respond to three separate prompts but prepare your paper as one research paper.

Start your paper with an introductory paragraph.

Prompt 1 “Data Warehouse Architecture” (2-3 pages): Explain the major components of a data warehouse architecture, including the various forms of data transformations needed to prepare data for a data warehouse. Also, describe in your own words current key trends in data warehousing. 

Prompt 2 “Big Data” (2-3 pages): Describe your understanding of big data and give an example of how you’ve seen big data used either personally or professionally. In your view, what demands is big data placing on organizations and data management technology? 

Prompt 3 “Green Computing” (2-3 pages):  The need for green computing is becoming more obvious considering the amount of power needed to drive our computers, servers, routers, switches, and data centers. Discuss ways in which organizations can make their data centers “green”. In your discussion, find an example of an organization that has already implemented IT green computing strategies successfully. Discuss that organization and share your link.

Conclude your paper with a detailed conclusion section. 

The paper needs to be approximately 7-10 pages long, including both a title page and a references page (for a total of 9-12 pages). 

Your paper should meet the following requirements:

• Be approximately seven to ten pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.

• Follow APA7 guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.

• Support your answers with the readings from the course, the course textbook, and at least three scholarly journal articles to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook. 

You may refer to external sources as well and site them.

Prompt

Design and build a simple CPU on Logisim and write programs that can run on it. you can download Logisim by following this link: http://www.cburch.com/logisim/download.html

Your design will go through four phases:

Phase One

Start by building an 8-bit ALU using Logisim. This ALU can implement 16 instructions on 8-bit operands. We would suggest the following minimum list of instructions:

• Arithmetic addition
• Increment
• Decrement
• Comparison (with 3 outputs: one for equals, one for less than and one for greater than)
• Logic bitwise Not
• Logic bitwise And
• Logic bitwise Or
• Register right logic shift
• Register left logic shift

In addition to these nine instructions, please suggest five more instructions that the ALU can implement for a total of 14 instructions (we are reserving 2 instructions for branching). Justify the importance of the five instructions you added in a Word doc to submitted as part of this assignment. Label these instructions as ‘Phase One.’

After you’ve suggested and justified your five suggested instructions, please build at least the nine above-mentioned operations as blocks in Logisim.

Phase Two

In phase two of the project, you are required to design the instruction set of the ALU/CPU as follows:

• Create the opcode table for the ALU by giving a binary code and a name for each instruction you built in Logisim in phase one.
• Decide how many operands you want your instructions to handle and justify your choice. We suggest either one operand with accumulator or two operands with the result stored in one of the input registers.
• In Logisim, add a multiplexer to the circuit you built in phase one that chooses one of the available operations. The simplest way to create this part of the CPU is to connect the outputs of the multiplexer to the inputs of AND arrays connected to the output of the operation blocks.

Phase Three

In phase three, you are required to use Logisim to implement the control unit for at least the following three operations:

• addition
• logic bitwise AND
• right logic shift

In order to finish this phase, you need to add operand registers according to the decision you took for the number of operands in phase two and, if needed, a flag register.

Please record your answer to phase three in the same Word doc and label it ‘Phase Three.’

Phase Four

In order to be able to write assembly language for the CPU we need to add to instructions (without implementation):

• branch to an address (name it JMP)
• conditional branch to an address (name it CJMP and suppose that the jump takes place if the comparison operation result is ‘equals’)

Now, write the following programs using the assembly language you designed in the previous phases of the project as well as these two branching additional instructions:

• Write a program that adds two operands.
• Write a program that adds operands until the new value to be added is 0. You do not need to implement the input operations to modify the contents of the registers. Just assume that by the end of each iteration, the register content is modified.
• Write a program that increments by 2 the content of a register 10 times.
• Write a program that shifts the content of a register until the least significant bit is 0. Think of a way to stop shifting if the content of the register is 11111111 and add it to your program.

Please record your programs in the same Word doc and label them under the section ‘Phase Four.’
