1. what do you think are the advantages of these platform to you? as a student
2. site at least 5 bottlenecks with gaming platform and mobile technology?
Answers
Answer:
1- yes
2- 1- CPU Utilization
According to Microsoft, “processor bottlenecks occur when the processor is so busy that it cannot respond to requests for time.” Simply put, the CPU is overloaded and unable to perform tasks in a timely manner.
2- Memory Utilization
A memory bottleneck implies that the system does not have sufficient or fast enough RAM. This situation cuts the speed at which the RAM can serve information to the CPU, which slows overall operations. In cases where the system doesn’t have enough memory, the computer will start offloading storage to a significantly slower HDD or SSD to keep things running. Alternatively, if the RAM cannot serve data to the CPU fast enough, the device will experience both slowdown and low CPU usage rates.
3. Network Utilization
Network bottlenecks occur when the communication between two devices lacks the necessary bandwidth or processing power to complete a task quickly. According to Microsoft, network bottlenecks occur when there’s an overloaded server, an overburdened network communication device, and when the network itself loses integrity. Resolving network utilization issues typically involves upgrading or adding servers, as well as upgrading network hardware like routers, hubs, and access points.
4. Software Limitation
Sometimes bottleneck-related performance dips originate from the software itself. In some cases, programs can be built to handle only a finite number of tasks at once so the program won’t utilize any additional CPU or RAM assets even when available. Additionally, a program may not be written to work with multiple CPU streams, thus only utilizing a single core on a multicore processor. These issues are resolved through rewriting and patching software.
5-Disk Usage
The slowest component inside a computer or server is typically the long-term storage, which includes HDDs and SSDs, and is often an unavoidable computer bottleneck. Even the fastest long-term storage solutions have physical speed limits, making this bottleneck cause one of the more difficult ones to troubleshoot. In many cases, disk usage speed can improve by reducing fragmentation issues and increasing data caching rates in RAM. On a physical level, address insufficient bandwidth by switching to faster storage devices and expanding RAID configurations.
