    About this ebook

    Computer Engineering: A DEC View of Hardware Systems Design focuses on the principles, progress, and concepts in the design of hardware systems. The selection first elaborates on the seven views of computer systems, technology progress in logic and memories, and packaging and manufacturing. Concerns cover power supplies, DEC computer packaging generations, general packaging, semiconductor logic technology, memory technology, measuring (and creating) technology progress, structural levels of a computer system, and packaging levels-of -integration. The manuscript then examines transistor circuitry in the Lincoln TX-2, digital modules, PDP-1 and other 18-bit computers, PDP-8 and other 12-bit computers, and structural levels of the PDP-8. The text takes a look at cache memories for PDP-11 family computers, buses, DEC LSI-11, and design decisions for the PDP-11/60 mid-range minicomputer. Topics include reliability and maintainability, price/performance balance, advances in memory technology, synchronization of data transfers, error control strategies, PDP-11/45, PDP-11/20, and cache organization. The selection is a fine reference for practicing computer designers, users, programmers, designers of peripherals and memories, and students of computer engineering and computer science.

      새로운 유형의 건축 New Types of Architecture

      Dec 5, 2023

      시대의 단면을 보여주는 건축 유형이 있다. 종교 중심 사회였던 중세시대 유럽의 대성당, 산업혁명기 대량생산을 위해 등장한 공장과 노동자를 위한 공동주택이 그렇다. 이러한 관점을 그대로 옮겨 기술과 정보가 중심이 된 현대를 보여주는 새로운 유형의 건축을 꼽으라면 데이터센터가 아닐까. 정부, 기업, 연구 조직에서 운영되던 전산 공간은 인터넷 상용화와 모바일 기술의 발전을 배경으로 급격히 성장하면서 오늘날 ‘데이터센터’라는 이름의 필수 기반시설이 됐
