Significance and Use3.1 This guide is aimed at providing a general understand-ing of the various types of hardware devices that form the coreof information processing systems for ship and marine use.Ship

20、 and marine information processing systems require spe-cific devices in order to perform automated tasks in a special-ized environment. In addition to providing information ser-vices for each individual installation, these devices are oftennetworked and are capable of supplementary functions thatben

21、efits ship and marine operations.3.2 A variety of choices exists for deployment of informa-tion processing devices and greatly increases the complexity ofthe selection task for ship and marine systems. The choice of aparticular device or system cannot be made solely on thesingular requirements of on

22、e application or function. Moderninformation processing systems are usually installed in acomplex environment where systems must be made to interactwith each other. Ship and marine installations add an evenfurther layer of complexity to the process of choosing adequatecomputerized systems. This guid

23、e aims to alleviate this task bygiving users specific choices that are proven technologies thatperform in a complex environment.3.3 Hardware resources used in ship and marine installa-tions are a result of careful consideration of utility andfunction. These resources may require some physical specia

24、l-ization in order to inhabit a particular environment, but they arein no way different from equipment used in shore-basedsituations. Ship and marine computer system configurations,interconnections, and support services are essentially the sameas those found in a land-based network environment and a

25、s aresult, the skill sets of ship and marine information processingsystem users, administrators, and support personnel are inter-changeable with those of shore-based activities.4. Standards Profiles4.1 Standards profiles are sets of specifications bundledtogether to describe the technical standard f

26、or a function or aservice (such as operating systems, network, and data inter-change services), and will include minimum criteria for theinformation and technology that support specific functionalrequirements. Profiles equate to the lowest level process, anddocument agreed-to implementation requirem

27、ents used inbuilding and operating systems. Systems using the samestandards, but different options, will probably not interfacecorrectly. The Technical Reference Model (TRM) is useful forassembling standards profiles across technology categories ofComputing Resources, Information Management, and App

28、li-cations.4.1.1 The TRM identifies and specifies the support services(multimedia, communications, and so forth) and interfaces thatprovide a common operating environment and support the flowof information among enterprise and common support appli-cations. This model represents the computer resource

29、s, infor-mation management, and applications categories and interfaceswith the communication and networking technology categoriesthat are appropriately represented by the ISO Open SystemInterconnect model. The TRM addresses standard profiles thatprovide seamless application support over widely distr

30、ibutedcomputing resources and attendant interfaces between thecomputing resources and other technologies.4.2 Computing hardware resources represent generally con-sists of Central Processing Unit(s) (CPU), Input and Output(I/O) interfaces, main memory, buses, and peripherals. Theexternal environment

31、considerations that affect computinghardware resource selection are security, communications,real-time, and high availability. The computing hardwareresource provides the environment necessary to support appli-cation software. From the perspective of the applicationsoftware, services are provided by

32、 the computing resource,whether the particular services are provided locally or remotelyas part of a distributed system.4.3 The architecture needed to support a typical applicationconsists of computers that perform as clients and servers. Theservers host the primary application software and contain

33、theprocessing power necessary to support multiple users. Serversalso host the data needed to support the application. Thestandard 3-tiered application architecture consists of (1)anapplication server, (2) a data server, and (3) presentation clients(see Fig. 1).4.4 In the future, most application pro

34、cessing software willbe hosted on the server computers. Clients will use presenta-tion software that connects to the servers using a commoninterface. At that time, client computers will likely be less6Available from TIA, 2500 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 300, Arlington, VA22201-3834.F2218022expensive and

35、 tailored to the users individual preferencebecause application interoperability will not be a significantfactor.4.5 Today, however, most application software is hosted onthe client and interoperability among clients is a critical factor.Even within the client-server application architecture, applic

36、a-tion specific software resident on the client is still prevalent.This demands consistency of client workstations across anentire installation to achieve seamless interoperability. Table 1outlines a rationale for the client-server deployment strategy.4.6 Driven by the current state of client-server

37、 technology,the general philosophy for implementing computing resourcesis the concept of homogeneous clients and heterogeneousservers. Homogeneous clients facilitate providing a consistentinterface between the user and the system and make systemsupport and maintenance less complex. Heterogeneous ser

38、verssupport the various computing requirements of applicationsneeded to support ship and marine operations. The sameadvantages that homogeneous clients enjoy can be achieved ifservers are homogeneous as well. Independent of whether ornot the server suite employed is heterogeneous or homoge-neous, it

39、 is important that they perform their function trans-parently to the user (that is, the user neither knows nor caresabout the location, number, or vendor of the server being used.)Requiring servers to be homogeneous would restrict theintroduction of new server technology, choking innovation andpreve

40、nting the installation from taking advantage of advancesin computing such as massively parallel processors.5. Computing Hardware5.1 Computing ResourcesComputing resources consist ofmany computing hardware components and configurations ofthese components. This section covers the various hardwarecompo

45、 (volumediscounts) and support (more focused skill set for help deskpersonnel).F22180235.2 Component TechnologiesThe major hardware compo-nents of Computing Resources are the Central Processing Unit(CPU), one or more backplane buses, main memory (bothRAM and cache), Input/Output (I/O) interfaces, an

46、d peripher-als. This section will examine each of these areas and provideguidance on the selection of these component technologies aspart a computing resource system.5.2.1 CPUThe CPU is the “engine” of the computersystem and, combined with the OS (operating system), formsthe core of the computing re

47、source. Since the OS drives manydecisions concerning the computer resource, a CPU that iscompatible with the OS becomes an overriding factor indetermining the type of CPU. Other than the OS, the mainfactors to consider in determining the type of CPU for thecomputer are processing speed (performance)

48、 and cost. Forcomputing resources, such as servers and multiprocessors,scalability of the number of processors can be a significantfactor in determining CPU.5.2.2 BusThe computer bus connects the different com-ponents of the computer resource together and allows them topass data between them at high

49、 speeds. Computer resourceconfigurations, such as personal workstations, often limit ordetermine the type of bus that will be used. Often there aremultiple buses connected together to allow for multiple typesof component cards or to extend a non-expandable system bus.Considerations in determining the type of bus to use are:number and type of commercial products compatible with thebus architecture, number of parallel data bit lines, clock speed,and cost. Once the appropriate bus architecture is determined,an important computer resource factor becomes how many
