Describe basic computer structure and operation; List factors that may affect computer performance, diagnose basic computer problems and perform some hardware troubleshooting; Report on different integer number systems and convert between them; Explain floating point representations using the IEEE754 standard; Describe drivers of future change in computing; Under supervision, explain and describe the working of a general-use computer system. Weight 25% of total assessment for the unit (15% for Assignment 2 + 10% for lab participation) Total Marks 50 Word limit 1500 Due Date Friday 11 PM, Week 11 Submission Guidelines Submission guidelines: All work must be submitted on Moodle by the due date along with a completed Assignment Cover Sheet. The report will be automatically checked by Turnitin embedded on moodle. By submitting on MOODLE you agree that the work is yours unless properly cited. The assignment must be in MS Word format, 1.5 spacing, 11-pt Calibri (Body) font and 2 cm margins on all four sides of your page with appropriate section headings. Reference sources must be cited in the text of the report, and listed appropriately at the end in a reference list using IEEE referencing style. For assignments 1 to 5 days late, a penalty of 10% (of total available marks) per day. For assignments more than 5 days late, a penalty of 100% will apply. Extension If an extension of time to submit work is required, a Special Consideration Application must be submitted directly to the School's Administration Officer, in Melbourne on Level 6 or in Sydney on Level 7.

(15 marks) Attempt the Assignment 2 quiz after Week 9, and paste the Moodle summary of your result below. **** Paste your result here **** B-Q1. 15 marks (3 x 5 marks = 15 marks)) Operating Systems: Construct the following digital circuit with Logisim. The circuit has two outputs S and T and three inputs A, B and C. S = /AB/C + A/B/C + /A/BC + ABC T = /ABC + A/BC + AB/C + ABC Generate the truth table using Logisim for inputs A, B and C and for outputs S and T. Verify that the circuit you developed can be used as a 3-bit adder (Full adder) i.e. A and B are the two bits to be added and C being the Carry-in bit. And S is the sum of A and B and T is the carry-out bit. B-Q2 10 marks (2 x 5 marks = 10 marks) Perform the following operations: Convert the decimal -100.375 to IEEE 754 32-bit format. Show all the working. Convert the following IEEE754 32-bit floating point representation into decimal: 437FF000. Show all the working. B-Q3. 10 marks (5 x 2 Marks = 10 marks) You are required to do a research on the topic “Operating Systems (OS)” and answer the following questions: Write a short note on 2 Desktop operating systems, example Windows 10, Ubuntu 16, Mac OS 10.12 etc. Compare Windows 10 operating system and Ubuntu 16 or Mac OS 10.12. State 3 advantages of Windows 10 OS and 3 advantages of Ubuntu 16 or Mac OS 10.12 State the minimum system requirement for Windows 10 or Ubuntu 16 or Mac OS 10.12 How to Install Windows 10 or Ubuntu 16 or Mac OS 10.12 Write a short note on 2 mobile phone operating systems (Mobile OS) Your report should be limited to 4 to 5 pages and should be written in your own words. Provide graphical or tabular information, if necessary.
