Your company’s internal studies show that a single-core system is sufficient for the demand on your processing power. You are exploring, however, whether you could save power by using two cores.
a. Assume your application is 100% parallelizable. By how much could you decrease the frequency and get the same performance?
b. Assume that the voltage may be decreased linearly with the frequency. Using the equation in Section 1.5, how much dynamic power would the dual-core system require as compared to the single-core system?
c. Now assume the voltage may not decrease below 30% of the original voltage. This voltage is referred to as the “voltage floor,” and any voltage lower than that will lose the state. What percent of parallelization gives you a voltage at the voltage floor?
d. Using the equation in Section 1.5, how much dynamic power would the dual-core system require from part (a) compared to the single-core system when taking into account the voltage floor? . . .

Using the annual reports or 10-Ks of two different public companies in the same industry, locate information regarding the compensation paid to their executives. Prepare a table comparing the compensation levels (cash and noncash) of top executives across the two companies, and send the table to your instructor. Illustrate the relationship between executive compensation and company performance by comparing the compensation to other company information such as net income.
Lab 3 (100 points)
This
has been adapted from an activity developed through the SAGE project at the University of Arizona
Reative humidity =
actual water vapor content of the air maximum water vapor capacity of the air X 100
Example: An air mass at 15*C has a water vapor pressure content of 9.8mb. The saturation vapor pressure (maximum capacity) of the air to hold water vapor at that temperature is 17.0. Therefore the relative humidity is:
Reative humidity =
9.8mb 17.0mb 0.57647 X 100 = 57.6%
Relative humidity varies due to evaporation, condensation and temperature change. I like to think of the air as a sponge that soaks up water. When the sponge is holding as much water as it possibly can, it is saturated, or at 100%. If the sponge is holding half of the water that it
could hold, it would be at 50%. The amount of water that the sponge can hold varies depending on the size of the sponge. A large sponge can hold more water at saturation than a small one. The same goes for the air. As the temperature of the air increases, its ability to hold water (the size of it’s “sponge”) increases. So warm air holds more water than cold air. The key is that the size of the air’s “sponge” or its capacity to hold water is not linear. Below is a graph of the saturation vapor pressure versus temperature. Click on the graph to view a larger version. This will open a new window.

Questions Answer the following using the graph and table above: 1. (3 points) What is the difference in saturation vapor pressure between -25*C and -35*C? 2. (3 points) What is the difference in saturation vapor pressure between +25*C and +35*C? 3. (10 points) Consider your answers to questions 1 & 2. In one paragraph, compare the ability of air to hold water at warmer temperatures with its ability to hold water at cooler temperatures. Is this an arithmetic or a geometric relationship? If you are not sure what these terms mean, please . Round the following answers to the nearst tenth. If you are not sure how to round decimals, . Note in that as in the example above, you should round at the last step in your calculation. If you are not sure what a ‘tenth’ in decimals is,. Please note that this is approximately 5th grade math… so it is okay if you are a little rusty, but you should be able to do this in a college course. Points will be deducted for incorrect rounding or inaccurate decimals. Basic math refresher:
- tenths = 1 number after the decimal point: 1.2
- hundredths = 2 numbers after the decimal point: 1.22
- thousandths = 3 numbers after the decimal point: 1.222
- Note that zeros are places too. So if you were to round 1.20459 to the nearest hundredth it would be 1.20
4. (8 points) Consider the saturation vapor pressures listed in the table above. An air mass at
25*C actually contains water vapor exerting
16.2mb of pressure. What is the relative humidity of this air mass (expressed as a percentage)? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent (eg. XX.X%). Show your work. 5. (8 points) Consider the saturation vapor pressures listed in the table above. An air mass at
15*C actually contains water vapor exerting
5.2mb of pressure. What is the relative humidity of this air mass (expressed as a percentage)? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent (eg. XX.X%). Show your work.

Part II, Hurricane Luis Cyclones draw their power from the latent heat energy in water. As you saw above, warm air holds a lot more water and therefore more energy than cold air. Warm water also holds more energy than cold water, so the tropical cyclones that we will be focusing on in this lab require warm water and warm air to sustain their energy. Open the . This will open in a new browser window, you may switch back and forth between the ETUDES window and quicktime movie. Close the new window when you are done. Luis swept through the Atlantic ocean August 27 to September 11, 1995. Luis was a catagory 4 hurricane (using the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane damage potential scale — see page 235 of your text), with winds reaching speeds of 225 mph, and a lowest central pressure of 935 mb. See a of LUIS (click the back button to get back to this window) Before you play the movie, orient yourself: you are looking at the Atlantic ocean, with coastlines and states outlined in yellow. Play the movie several times, observing Luis’ path and the motion of the hurricane itself. You can step through the movie frame-by-frame using the right and left arrow buttons on the quicktime navigation bar.
Questions Answer the following in complete sentences. 6. (4 points) Did the winds in Luis spin clockwise or counter clockwise? What phenomena accounts for this? If you are having trouble observing this in the movie, consider what you know about cyclones (are they low pressure or high pressure zones?). 7. (8 points) The north coast of Australia is very prone to cyclones. Do the winds in cyclones that occur along the north coast of Australia blow clockwise or counter clockwise? What phenomena accounts for this? 8. (20 points) Why is it that the west coast of the United States never has problems with tropical cyclones, while tropical cyclones annually cause significant destruction along the east coast of the United States?
Part III, Cyclone Cycles Recall from homework 2 that insolation is not distributed evenly over the surface of the earth. Furthermore, water heats up and cools down more slowly than land due to its greater heat capacity. In the second part of this exercise, you will explore the relationship between the sea surface temperature and the formation of cyclones.
| Temperature Conversions In America we accustomed to talking about temperatures in Farenheit rather than Celsius. You probably have a pretty good feel about how ‘warm’ 80° F is, or how ‘cold’ 50° F. In science we use Celsius to talk about temperatures, so before we go any further, let’s get a feeling for what ‘hot’ and ‘cold’ really mean in the Celsius scale. Remember to do a reality check with your calculations: based on the temperature map in the GIS (see below), is your result physically reasonable? | ||||||

Questions (you do not have to answer these in complete sentences) 9. (20 points) List the following temperatures in the Farenheit scale: 2°C, 12°C, 22°C, 32°C Round your answer to the nearest tenth. Open up your second browser window: the (this will open a new browser window). Recall from week 1 that GIS (Geographic Information Systems) is a suite of software products that allow geographers to view and manipulate spatial data. In this case, we will be using a simulated GIS to look a the relationship between four datasets: Sea surface temperature in February, sea surface temperature in August, occurence of cyclones in February, and occurence of cyclones in August. You can turn on various map layers by clicking in the boxes next to the layer name. By clicking in multiple boxes, you can view multiple layers at once. Use your HTML GIS viewer to answer the following questions: Questions (Answer in complete sentences) 10. (8 points) How is the tilt of the earth related to the pattern of ocean heating? Give specific examples. 11. (8 points) What is the optimal temperature for cyclone formation in Celsius? Why do you think that this is the case? …….
