Chapter 5 Flashcards
workstations used in the design of graphical content place a heavy load on three primary areas of the system. pg- 238
CPU enhancement
Video enhancement
Maximized RAM
(CAD) stands for what? pg- 238
computer-aided design
(CAM) stands for what? pg-238
computer-aided manufacturing
Computers used by graphic-design artists must process a constant flow of colors and detailed shapes the combination of which can put a strain on the what? pg-238
CPU
RAM and video components
Systems can carry the designer’s vision from conception to design in a 100 present digital setting. pg- 238
CAD/CAM
(CNC) stands for what? pg- 239
computerized numerical control
Possibly an obvious requirement for such systems graphics adapters with better graphics processing units and additional RAM on board have the capability to keep up with the demand of what? pg- 239
Graphic design applications
Professionals that edit multimedia material require workstation that excel in three areas: pg- 239
video enhancement
specialized audio
specialized drivers
benefits most from a graphics adapter with multiple video interfaces that can be used simultaneously. pg 240
Audio/video editing workstations
(CUDA) stands for what? pg- 240
compute unified device architecture
(OpenCL) stands for what? pg 240
open computing language
a parallel computing architecture for breaking down larger processing task into smaller task and processing them simultaneously on a CPU. pg-240
CUDA
Is a similar yet cross-platform open standard. pg-240
OpenCL
If you cannot find a drive that has the capacity you require you should consider implementing RAID # what? pg-241
RAID 0
Virtualization workstation must exceed the specifications of standard servers and workstation in two primary areas: pg- 242
CPU enhancement
Maximized RAM
(VMs) stands for what? pg 242
virtual machines
running on a host system appear to come along with their own resources. pg- 242
virtual machines
The following list includes some of the more important components that are shared by the host and all guest operating systems: pg 242
CPU cycles
System memory
Drive storage
Systemwide network bandwidth
The maximum installed RAM hinges on three primary constraints: pg-243
the CPU’s address-bus width
the operating system’s maximum supported RAM
The motherboard’s maximum supported RAM
For a computer to have a chance however four areas of enhancement must be considered: pg-244
CPU enhancement
video enhancement
specialized audio
enhanced cooling
is a convergence device that combines some or all the capabilities of a personal computer with a software application that supports video, photo, audio playback, and sometimes video recording functionality. pg-246
home theater PC (HTPC)
Is not so much a custom configuration but instead the standard configuration that allows the definition of custom configuration. pg-248
standard thick client
is any machine that divests itself of all or most local storage and varying levels of RAM and processing power without necessarily giving up all ability to process instructions and data. pg- 248
thin client
the difference between home servers and enterprise servers is what? pg-253
is that all clients in a home environment tend to have equal access to the file server’s data stored.
the home server should be attached to a wired switched port in an Ethernet switch or in a what? pg253
Wireless access point
A popular use for a home server is to stream what? pg-249
music
photos
videos to other devices including those that are not PCs.
HTPC chassis typically with dimension such as what? pg- 247
17 x 17 x 7” and 150W HTPC power supply
Ideally the adapter will have both input and output HDMI interfaces giving the PC the capability to combine and mix signals as well as what? pg 247
Interconnect sources and output devices
Not all GPUs support these standards thus another selling point emerges for what? pg 245
high-end graphics adapers
Technologies such as what produce high-quality digital audio for the gaming enthusiast. pg 245
S/PDIF and HDMI
(NLE) stands for what? pg-239
nonlinear editing
what are the experimental cooling techniques. pg 245
mineral oil
liquid nitrogen or helium
