Parallel Computing (BCS702)

  Faculty : Mr. Sachin S. Doddamani

  Course Co-ordinator : Dr. Latha, CSE

  HOD : Mrs. Ragini Krishna, ISE

Instructions : Please use good quality white sheets to write activites. We need them for documentation.

Activity 1: 

Draw a detailed computer system organization showing various components like ALU, CU, RAM along with their interactions. Make the architecture as deep as possible.

Activity 2: 

Build a custom PC online(not real one) for 3 categories : Heavy computing applications (GenAI tasks, gaming), Video editing and workstation PC , and Casual home PC).

Mention these things for each category PC that you build.

• The platform used for building it

• The component stats(specs) ex : CPU used, RAM, Power suppy, Case used etc

• The budget 

• The possible issues with the build

You can make use of custom PC building tools on sites like https://www.pcstudio.in/, https://vishalperipherals.com/, https://bitkart.com/

Activity 3: 

Study Your Own CPU : 

Use tools like CPU-z to obtain these things about your computer / Laptop.  

• CPU model

• Architecture (Code Name)

• Number of Physical cores

• Number of logical processors (Threads)

• Base clock

• Boost clock (Core speed)

• Cache hierarchy (L1 Data, L1 Instruction, L2,L3)

• Virtualization support (Instructions  : look for VT-x for Intel or AMD-V for AMD)

• TDP (Power required)

• RAM type/speed 

• Integrated GPU specs like name, size, speed, TDP

• Dedicated GPU specs (if present)  name, size, speed, TDP
