Research Task Assume you are in an R&D organisation. You have a project to detect certain marine species e.g., sharks and sea turtles from imagery. Your organisation has decided to use Artificial Intelligence Machine Learning algorithms to do the task. There are a few possible requirements, e.g.,

• Sophisticated high performance computing system.

• Low power carry devices for a portable system.

• Data analytics and visualisation facilities.

• Data server and repository. You need to deliver on one or more of the requirements. For that you need to purchase appropriate computing resources. In this assignment you need to write a technical report to your manager about the computing resources and their specifications.

1. Name your chosen device and justify your selection. Describe the device's main functions. Provide some detail as to the range of activities possible with the device.

2. Describe the physical footprint of the device. Talk about how the physical footprint/ergonomics of the device supports the main functional aims of the device.

3. Describe the main components on its main system board.

4. Describe the type(s) of primary memory in the device.

5. Describe the storage requirements of the project and main method of storage in the device.

6. Describe the main technical characteristics of the CPU used in the device.

7. Describe and justify any special hardware requirements e.g., Graphical Processing Units.

8. Describe the main groups of instructions in the CPU instruction set (if there are multiple, choose one).

9. Describe how the main instruction set of the CPU has evolved over time.

10. Describe the main programming languages or platforms needed for the project? Give a brief history about them.
