Introduction to Motherboard
This presentation provides an overview of motherboard components and functions. It describes the main components including the CPU socket, memory slots, chipset, BIOS, expansion slots, and input/output ports. It explains that the motherboard connects the central processing unit and other internal components to enable communication within the computer. Form factors like ATX and microATX determine the motherboard size and compatibility. Selecting a motherboard involves considering the CPU, case, expansion needs and warranty.
1.2 motherboard form factor
The document discusses different motherboard form factors including ATX, Micro ATX, Flex ATX, NLX, and BTX. It provides details on the size and key features of each form factor. For example, it states that ATX motherboards measure 305x244x10mm while Micro ATX measures 244x244x10mm. It also explains that newer form factors like BTX were designed for better airflow and easier component access compared to older styles like AT.
Memory hierarchy
The document discusses the memory hierarchy in computers. It explains that main memory communicates directly with the CPU, while auxiliary memory devices like magnetic tapes and disks provide backup storage. The total memory is organized in a hierarchy from slow but high-capacity auxiliary devices to faster main memory to an even smaller and faster cache memory. The goal is to maximize access speed while minimizing costs. Cache memory helps speed access to frequently used data and programs.
4. motherboard
The motherboard is the main circuit board in a computer that connects the central processing unit and other components. It contains slots and ports to connect internal and external devices, and connectors to attach components like the CPU, memory, storage drives, and expansion cards. Key parts of the motherboard include the northbridge and southbridge chips that handle communication between components, as well as the BIOS chip that stores system settings. Motherboards can be integrated, containing on-board graphics and ports, or non-integrated, requiring add-in cards to connect devices. Buses on the motherboard carry signals between components like the CPU, memory, and expansion cards.
Motherboard Components
The document provides an overview of the main components of a computer motherboard and how they work together. It discusses the motherboard, CPU, RAM, ROM, expansion slots and boot process. The motherboard holds the processor, memory chips, input/output chips and expansion slots. It connects the components and allows them to communicate via a data bus. The CPU executes instructions from RAM and uses RAM for data processing. Expansion slots allow additional peripherals to connect to the motherboard. The boot process starts the computer and loads the operating system.
Intro to Bits, Bytes, and Storage
Bits are the basic units of information in computing representing either 1 or 0. 8 bits together form a byte, which can represent a single character. Common storage measurements are kilobytes (KB), megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB), and terabytes (TB) which are powers of 1000 or 1024 bytes. A computer's processor understands information by interpreting patterns of transistors being on or off, with a transistor on representing 1 and off representing 0.
Pc maintenance
The objective of this presentation is to enable primary users to maintain software and hardware parts of a computer. Further guides can be found from my face book page www.facebook.com/fita.ayalew or through my email address www.mengistuayalew@yahoo.com or by following on twitter @fita2004.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex Proofs
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).
