DEVELOPING A MOTOROLA 68000 TRAINING BOARD

The aim of this project is to build a Motorola 68000 microprocessor training board using modular approach to aid the teaching and learning process for the microprocessor subject in Universiti Teknologi Petronas (UTP). The board is designed in modular approach to nurture more understanding among the students on the system itself. The final system consists of 3 different separated cards; the central processing unit (CPU) card, the memory card, and a serial/parallel interface card and a backplane. Wire wrapping method is used to build the training board. This project involves circuit design study, parts substitution study, and the board construction itself Basically, the board features a Motorola 68000 microprocessor, 10-MHz crystal clock, buffer circuits, memory decoder circuits, EPROM modules, SRAM modules, serial interface, and parallel interface. This board can be connected to a personal computer (PC) through serial interface for program downloading purposes, and the output is connected through the parallel interface available on-board. It is envisaged that the final system would be utilized as a learning tool for the microprocessor course (EAB2023)

Examination of an attempt to train high school dropouts in computer literacy to fill entry level positions in private industry and provide motivation to take full advantage of this new technology

Technological change has impacted almost all of society, particularly the economic and educational sectors. High technology, of which computer technology is a fundamental component, has both destroyed and created jobs at a pace never before seen. The ability to understand and use computers is becoming essential to obtain and keep more and more different types of jobs. The thesis project was an attempt to address the problem of an increasingly polarized society fueled by the technological revolution. The purpose of this study was to document whether all members of society are sharing in the benefits of high technology, or will we create a world characterized by haves and have nots? The way this was accomplished was to study the impact the information revolution is having on society. Once this survey was completed, an instrument was designed to motivate people to become better educated in order to improve their standing in a technology-oriented economy. This was done in conjunction with a core group of consultants who represent all phases\u27 of the computer industry. Relying upon their vast knowledge and expertise, a computer literacy program was developed. This thesis documented the effects the information revolution is having on society. Then, it goes on to elaborate upon the development of the computer literacy program and its significance for the disadvantaged participants that it served

Empirical and Statistical Application Modeling Using on -Chip Performance Monitors.

To analyze the performance of applications and architectures, both programmers and architects desire formal methods to explain anomalous behavior. To this end, we present various methods that utilize non-intrusive, performance-monitoring hardware only recently available on microprocessors to provide further explanations of observed behavior. All the methods attempt to characterize and explain the instruction-level parallelism achieved by codes on different architectures. We also present a prototype tool automating the analysis process to exploit the advantages of the empirical and statistical methods proposed. The empirical, statistical and hybrid methods are discussed and explained with case study results provided. The given methods further the wealth of tools available to programmer\u27s and architects for generally understanding the performance of scientific applications. Specifically, the models and tools presented provide new methods for evaluating and categorizing application performance. The empirical memory model serves to quantify the hierarchical memory performance of applications by inferring the incurred latencies of codes after the effect of latency hiding techniques are realized. The instruction-level model and its extensions model on-chip performance analytically giving insight into inherent performance bottlenecks in superscalar architectures. The statistical model and its hybrid extension provide other methods of categorizing codes via their statistical variations. The PTERA performance tool automates the use of performance counters for use by these methods across platforms making the modeling process easier still. These unique methods provide alternatives to performance modeling and categorizing not available previously in an attempt to utilize the inherent modeling capabilities of performance monitors on commodity processors for scientific applications

Estudio del estado del arte para el núcleo de un nodo sensorial de la red inalámbrica de telecomunicaciones para la protección del ambiente.

Proyecto de Graduación (Licenciatura en Ingeniería Electrónica). Instituto Tecnológico de Costa Rica. Escuela de Ingeniería Electrónica, 2009.Una red de sensores inalámbrica es un grupo de computadoras con capacidades sensitivas y de comunicación inalámbrica; estas computadoras se les conocen como nodos sensoriales. Existen muchos tipos de redes de sensores que tiene capacidad de organizarse autónomamente, independientemente de la situación. En las redes de sensores se busca hacer un uso eficiente de la energía, es por esto que este proyecto se ha centrado en la necesidad de encontrar un procesador de bajo consumo energético y con capacidad de procesamiento tal que pueda ejecutar los algoritmos desarrollados para la detección de fuego, sonidos de motosierras y disparos
