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 and marine information processing systems require spe-cific devices in
21、 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 thatbenefits ship and marine operations.3.2 A variety of choices exists for de
22、ployment 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 one application or function. Moderninformation processing systems are usu
23、ally 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 guide aims to alleviate this task bygiving users specific choices that are
24、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 special-ization in order to inhabit a particular environment, but they arein
25、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 as aresult, the skill sets of ship and marine information processingsyst
26、em 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 for a function or aservice (such as operating systems, network, and data
27、 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 requirements used inbuilding and operating systems. Systems using the samestand
28、ards, 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 Appli-cations.4.1.1 The TRM identifies and specifies the support services(
29、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 resources, infor-mation management, and applications categories and interfacesw
30、ith 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 distributedcomputing resources and attendant interfaces between thecomputing
31、 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 considerations that affect computinghardware resource selection are sec
32、urity, 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 the computing resource,whether the particular services are provided lo
33、cally 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.

35、. 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 processing software willbe hosted on the server computers.
36、 Clients will use presenta-tion software that connects to the servers using a commoninterface. At that time, client computers will likely be lessexpensive and tailored to the users individual preferencebecause application interoperability will not be a significantfactor.4.5 Today, however, most appl
37、ication software is hosted onthe client and interoperability among clients is a critical factor.Even within the client-server application architecture, applica-tion specific software resident on the client is still prevalent.This demands consistency of client workstations across anentire installatio
38、n to achieve seamless interoperability. Table 1outlines a rationale for the client-server deployment strategy.4.6 Driven by the current state of client-server technology,the general philosophy for implementing computing resourcesis the concept of homogeneous clients and heterogeneousservers. Homogen
39、eous clients facilitate providing a consistentinterface between the user and the system and make systemsupport and maintenance less complex. Heterogeneous serverssupport the various computing requirements of applicationsneeded to support ship and marine operations. The sameadvantages that homogeneou
40、s clients enjoy can be achieved ifservers are homogeneous as well. Independent of whether ornot the server suite employed is heterogeneous orhomogeneous, it is important that they perform their functiontransparently to the user (that is, the user neither knows norcares about the location, number, or
41、 vendor of the server beingused.) Requiring servers to be homogeneous would restrict theintroduction of new server technology, choking innovation andpreventing the installation from taking advantage of advancesin computing such as massively parallel processors.5. Computing Hardware5.1 Computing Reso
42、urcesComputing resources consist ofmany computing hardware components and configurations ofthese components. This section covers the various hardwarecomponents that make up a computing resource system andexamines how these components are commonly configured.5.2 Component TechnologiesThe major hardwa
43、re 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, and peripher-als. This section will examine each of these areas and provideguidance on the selection of these component technologie
44、s 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 resource. Since the OS drives manydecisions concerning the computer resource, a CPU that iscompatible with the OS becomes an overri
45、ding 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) and cost. Forcomputing resources, such as servers and multiprocessors,scalability of the number of processors can be a significa
46、ntfactor 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 speeds. Computer resourceconfigurations, such as personal workstations, often limit ordetermine the type of bus that will be use
47、d. Often there areFIG. 1 Three-Tiered Application ArchitectureF2218 02 (2015)3multiple 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 compa
48、tible 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 manyinterface slots are available on the bus for component cards.5.2.2.1 Use buses that provide the necessary
49、 performanceeconomically and are compatible with the board level compo-nents that are needed to meet requirements. For buses thatprovide slots for component cards, use standard buses that aresupported by multiple vendors providing compatible compo-nent cards.5.2.3 Main MemoryMain memory is the storage ware-house of the computer where data and programs are stored forefficient processing. In the context of this section, mainmemory refers to cache and RAM. The main factor to considerin acquisition of a computer system is the quantity (inmegabytes) of
