1). Search about 4 RAM types & short notes about


these. Give the imagesfor these RAM types.
1. Static RAM (SRAM)
One of the two basic memory types (the other being
DRAM), SRAM requires a constant power flow in order
to function. Because of the continuous power, SRAM
doesn’t need to be ‘refreshed’ to remember the data
being stored. This is why SRAM is called ‘static’ – no
change or action (e.g. refreshing) is needed to keep
data intact. However, SRAM is a volatile memory,
which means that all the data that had been stored
becomes lost once the power is cut off.
2. Dynamic RAM (DRAM)
One of the two basic memory types (the other being
SRAM), DRAM requires a periodic ‘refresh’ of power in
order to function. The capacitors that store data in
DRAM gradually discharge energy; no energy means
the data becomes lost. This is why DRAM is called
‘dynamic’ — constant change or action (e.g.
refreshing) is needed to keep data intact. DRAM is
also a volatile memory, which means that all the
stored data becomes lost once the power is cut off.
3. Synchronous Dynamic RAM (SDRAM)
SDRAM is a classification of DRAM that operates in
sync with the CPU clock, which means that it waits for
the clock signal before responding to data input (e.g.
user interface). By contrast, DRAM is asynchronous,
which means it responds immediately to data input.
But the benefit of synchronous operation is that a CPU
can process overlapping instructions in parallel, also
known as ‘pipelining’—the ability to receive (read) a
new instruction before the previous instruction has
been fully resolved (write).

4. Single Data Rate Synchronous Dynamic RAM (SDR


SDRAM)
SDR SDRAM is the expanded term for SDRAM — the
two types are one and the same, but most frequently
referred to as just SDRAM. The ‘single data rate’
indicates how the memory processes one read and
one write instruction per clock cycle. This labeling
helps to clarify comparisons between SDR SDRAM
and DDR SDRAM:

2). Search the list of personal computer types &


give the description, images of them.
1. Desktop Computers
The most common type of Personal Computer
Commonly used in workplaces, schools and homes.
Owing to their large size they are difficult to carry
around.
Is designed to make it sit on a table or desk that’s why
it’s called a Desktop Computer
Desktop Computer performs a multitude of tasks
ranging from communication, photo editing, playing
games, watching videos and much more.

2. Workstations
A desktop computer but with more powerful
processing additional memory and graphics handling
capabilities than a standard desktop PC and thus
more speedy.
Optimized for scientists, engineers, animators, who
need a system with greater average speed and power
to perform sophisticated tasks such as 3D graphics
and game development.

3. Laptop Computers
People normally place these devices on their laps,
hence the name laptop computer.
Those who require the power of full-size desktop
computers can avail themselves of laptop computers
because they are microcomputers in the true sense.
Owing to their small size and portability, laptops
belong to the category of mobile computers.

4. Tablet Computers
Tablet PCs offer all the functionality of notebook PC,
but they are lighter and can accept input from a
special pen called a stylus or a digital pen that is used
to tap or write directly on the screen.
Many tablet PCs also have a built-in microphone and
special software that accepts input from the user’s
voice
Tablet PCs use tailored versions of stander software
and can even be plugged into the network.

5. Smartphone Computers
smartphones are hybrid of PDAA and cellular phones.
Smartphones offer sophisticated features not
normally present in cellphones. That’s why they are
referred to as smartphones.
These advanced features could be access to web and
email, high-resolution digital cameras, music players
as well as the ability to install different mobile apps.
3). Search the processor types
General Purpose Processor
Microprocessor
Microcontroller
Embedded Processor
Digital Signal Processor
Media Processor
Media Processor
MultiProcessor

4). Search company who made processors


Intel
AMD
Qualcomm
Texas Instruments
TSMC
Broadcom
Microchip Technology
Arm
NXP

5). Search about ‘what is a cybercrime’?


Cybercrime is criminal activity that either targets or
uses a computer, a computer network or a networked
device. Most cybercrime is committed by
cybercriminals or hackers who want to make money.
However, occasionally cybercrime aims to damage
computers or networks for reasons other than profit.

6). Search the types of networks


PERSONAL AREA NETWORK (PAN)
LOCAL AREA NETWORK (LAN)
WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORK (WLAN)
METROPOLITAN AREA NETWORK (MAN)
WIDE AREA NETWORK (WAN)
STORAGE AREA NETWORK (SAN)
VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORK (VPN)

7). What is E-mail Spam?


Email spam, also referred to as junk email, spam mail,
or simply spam, is unsolicited messages sent in bulk
by email. The name comes from a Monty Python
sketch in which the name of the canned pork product
Spam is ubiquitous, unavoidable, and repetitive

8). What is the URL of that you can get government


details?
https://www.gov.lk/

9). What can we do using team viewer?


We can quickly view and screenshare your iOS device
and deliver support to unattended Android devices,
point of sale (POS) devices, kiosks, and digital
signage

10). Search what is a firewall?


In computing, a firewall is a network security system
that monitors and controls incoming and outgoing
network traffic based on predetermined security rules.
A firewall typically establishes a barrier between a
trusted network and an untrusted network, such as
the Internet.

11). What is the 4G TECHNOLOGY?


the fourth generation of cellular networks

12). Search the URL of University of Vocational


Training
http://univotec.ac.lk/
