A $500 computer will not containmany things which we take for granted when discussing personalcomputers. For example, a hard drive becomes optional equipment, asdoes a keyboard and mouse. By removing these devices presents aninteresting problem and raises many other questions. We want to findout what these problems are and obtain a solution for them. In orderto do this, we must first design a network computer of our own todiscover exactly what $500 buys.<p>We priced it using off the shelf, readily available hardware. Ourimplementation is only theoretical because we did not actually builda working prototype (mainly because computer scientists and that's notwhat we do). The main purpose of this exercise is to get an idea ofthe performance obtainable from a network computer. We want todetermine how much of the network computer hype is real and how muchof it is marketing. For more information, refer to the <i><!WA9><!WA9><!WA9><!WA9><!WA9><!WA9><!WA9><!WA9><AHREF="http://www.oracle.com/headlines/html/ncwp.html">NC Specification</A></i> document.<p><H2><!WA10><!WA10><!WA10><!WA10><!WA10><!WA10><!WA10><!WA10><IMG SRC="http://www.cs.cornell.edu/Info/People/jmm/graphics/ping.gif">...and what do we learn from this?</H2>A lot. We learn how to estimate the performance of a system thatcurrently does not exist. This is a valuable skill because this typeof evaluation must be done on a new project of this type to see if theend result will be usable. If the result product is not usable or theperformance is less than that of what you can currently get, it willnot sell. With this in mind, we want to know if the Network Computerwill revolutionize the computer industry or just be another fad thatwill quickly die. Also, there are some other social aspects to this.For example, if the machine does not contain a hard drive and youreceive electronic mail, where is the mail stored? This would be anew paradigm for the computer industry and we are trying to determinewhether the NC is technologically superior to a personal computer orif it is a lot of hot air.<H2><!WA11><!WA11><!WA11><!WA11><!WA11><!WA11><!WA11><!WA11><IMG SRC="http://www.cs.cornell.edu/Info/People/jmm/graphics/ping.gif">...and how does it tie in withHigh Performance Computer Architecture?</H2>We trying to see if this computer is <em>high performance</em> atall. From what we can tell, we can't see that this type of computerprovides at least the same performance as other computers in the sameprice range. It is not clear that this computer will perform at aspeed which closely resembles a modern personal computer.<H2><!WA12><!WA12><!WA12><!WA12><!WA12><!WA12><!WA12><!WA12><IMG SRC="http://www.cs.cornell.edu/Info/People/jmm/graphics/ping.gif">...and how do we measure success?</H2>If we can get data that conclusively shows the performance of a NC, itwill be possible to estimate the overall performance of the system.For example, if we use a NC with an ethernet connection browsing theWWW, will it have the same performance as a personal computer browsingthe WWW. These are just some of the questions that must be answered.<H2><!WA13><!WA13><!WA13><!WA13><!WA13><!WA13><!WA13><!WA13><IMG SRC="http://www.cs.cornell.edu/Info/People/jmm/graphics/ping.gif">...and <i>finally</i>, how are we progressing?</H2><ul><li>3/28 : <!WA14><!WA14><!WA14><!WA14><!WA14><!WA14><!WA14><!WA14><a href="http://www.cs.cornell.edu/Info/People/jmm/cs516/abstract.html">Project Proposal</a><li>3/31 : Price the $500 computer<li>4/01 : Modify Web Browser<li>4/04 : Create Web Project Web Page<li>4/05 : Distribute Survey<li>4/12 : Gather data from web browser<li>4/18 : Checkpoint<li>4/26 : Create poster & <!WA15><!WA15><!WA15><!WA15><!WA15><!WA15><!WA15><!WA15><A HREF="http://www.cs.cornell.edu/Info/People/jmm/cs516/final.html">Final Report</A><li>5/02 : Poster session</ul><br><hr><br><a name = "mulva"><i>MULVA</i> - Name of Jerry Seinfeld's girlfriend which rhymes with apart of the female anatomy.<br>Courtesy of the "Junior Mint" episode of <!WA16><!WA16><!WA16><!WA16><!WA16><!WA16><!WA16><!WA16><A HREF="http://www.nbc.com/entertainment/shows/seinfeld/index.html">Seinfeld</A>.<br><br>Visitors since April 17th, 1996<!WA17><!WA17><!WA17><!WA17><!WA17><!WA17><!WA17><!WA17><IMG SRC="http://counter.digits.com/bin/web_counter?-d&6&mulvaNC"ALIGN=absmiddle WIDTH=90 HEIGHT=20 BORDER=0></body></html>⌨️ 快捷键说明
