SECTION B: SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGIES
QUESTION 2
         2.1.1        • Each core is a separate processing unit, so different
                        programs/processes/threads can be executed at the same
                        time (simultaneously/in parallel) ✓
                      • so more work is done in the same time / the computer stays
                        responsive when many programs run (multiprocessing) ✓
                                                                                            (2)
         2.1.2        • The cache stores recently/frequently used instructions and data
                        close to the CPU ✓
                      • so that the CPU does not have to wait for the slower RAM – it
                        reduces the bottleneck between the fast CPU and slower RAM /
                        speeds up processing ✓
                                                                                            (2)
         2.1.3       Any TWO of: ✓✓

                      • Disk caching (part of RAM used to store data read from the disk)
                      • Cache/buffer on the hard drive/SSD itself
                      • Web caching (browser stores copies of web pages/images)
                      • Network/communication caching (proxy server)
                      • Graphics card/GPU cache
                      • DNS cache

                     Do not award two marks for the same idea.                              (2)
         2.1.4       A 32-bit operating system can only address/use a maximum of about
                     4 GB of RAM; a 64-bit OS can address much more memory, so all
                     16 GB can be used ✓                                                    (1)
         2.1.5       Any TWO of: ✓✓

                      • No moving parts – more resistant to shock/damage when the
                        laptop is moved or bumped
                      • Faster access/boot/load times
                      • Uses less power – longer battery life
                      • Lighter/smaller and silent; produces less heat
                                                                                            (2)
2.2       • Fetch: the next instruction (and data) is fetched from RAM ✓
          • Decode: the control unit interprets the instruction to determine what must
            be done ✓
          • Execute: the instruction is carried out (e.g. by the ALU) ✓
          • Store: the result is written to a register or to memory (RAM) ✓

         Name and description must both be correct for a mark. Steps in the wrong
         order: max 3.                                                                      (4)

         2.3.1       Software/instructions that are permanently stored on a ROM (flash)
                     chip of a device and that control the basic operation of the hardware
                     ✓                                                                        (1)
         2.3.2       Any TWO of: ✓✓

                      • To fix bugs/errors
                      • To fix security vulnerabilities
                      • To support new hardware (e.g. new CPUs, larger drives) or a new
                        operating system
                      • To add new features / improve performance or stability
                                                                                              (2)
         2.3.3       If the flashing process is interrupted, the firmware will be
                     incomplete/corrupt and the server may not start up at all (the device
                     is ’bricked’) ✓                                                          (1)
         2.3.4       Power-on self-test: a start-up test that checks that all essential
                     hardware (CPU, RAM, video, keyboard, drives) is present and
                     working ✓                                                                (1)
         2.4.1        • The OS reserves part of the secondary storage (hard drive/SSD)
                        to act as an extension of RAM (page/swap file) ✓
                      • Data/programs in RAM that are not being used at the moment
                        are moved (swapped) to the storage and brought back into RAM
                        when they are needed ✓
                                                                                              (2)
         2.4.2       Secondary storage is much slower than RAM, and the computer
                     spends a lot of time swapping data between RAM and storage
                     (thrashing) ✓                                                            (1)
2.5       • Multithreading: ONE program (process) is split into smaller parts called
            threads that run concurrently ✓
          • The downloading of orders and the capturing of parcel details are two
            threads of the same dispatch program running at the same time ✓
                                                                                              (2)
2.6      (a) CPU socket / ZIF / LGA / PGA socket ✓
         (b) Expansion slot / PCIe (PCI Express) x16 slot ✓
         Accept PCIe (PCI Express) x16, AGP or PCI slot for (b), since the computer
         is old. Accept CPU socket, ZIF, LGA or PGA for (a).                                  (2)

                      • Centralised backups and security / user management
                      • Software can be installed/updated centrally; site licences are
                        cheaper
                                                                                              (2)
         3.1.2        • Peer-to-peer: all computers have equal status and share their
                        own resources with one another; there is no dedicated server ✓

                        and services (files, security, printing) and the client computers
                        request and use them ✓
                                                                                              (2)
         3.1.3       Any ONE of: ✓

                      • If the central switch fails, the whole network goes down
                      • More cable is needed than in a bus topology – more expensive
                                                                                              (1)
         3.1.4        • Switch: connects the devices on the same local network (LAN)
                        and sends data only to the device with the correct (MAC) address
                        ✓
                      • Router: connects different networks, e.g. the LAN to the internet,
                        and determines the best path/route for data packets between the
                        networks ✓
                                                                                              (2)
         3.2.1       Any TWO of: ✓✓

                      • Higher bandwidth/speed
                      • More reliable/stable connection; not affected by signal strength
                        or interference
                      • Uncapped/cheaper per GB of data
                      • Lower latency – better for VoIP/video calls
                                                                                              (2)
         3.2.2       LTE is a wireless/mobile connection that is available wherever there

                        needed
                      • Reduce the screen brightness / shorten the screen time-out
                      • Close apps running in the background / limit background data
                        and push notifications
                      • Use battery-saver/power-saving mode
                      • Enable flight mode / disable mobile data when coverage is poor

            shedding)
          • Uses data – can be expensive on capped connections
          • Emergency calls may not be supported / location of the caller is not known

SECTION D: DATA AND INFORMATION MANAGEMENT
QUESTION 4
         4.1.1        • Centralised database: all the data is stored in ONE location (on
                        one server) and all users access it there ✓
                      • Distributed database: the data is spread over/stored on several
                        servers at different locations (e.g. one per office), but it is
                        managed as one database ✓
                                                                                                (2)
         4.1.2       Advantage (any ONE): each office has fast local access to its data /
                     the database keeps working at other offices if one server or link fails
                     / the load is spread over several servers / it can grow as new offices
                     open ✓
                     Disadvantage (any ONE): more complex and expensive to set up
                     and manage / data must be synchronised between the sites / more
                     difficult to keep secure (more points of attack) / needs reliable
                     network links between the offices ✓                                        (2)
         4.1.3       Any TWO of: ✓✓

                      • Create and modify the structure of the database (tables, fields)
                      • Add, edit and delete data
                      • Search/query the data and generate reports
                      • Control security and user access rights
                      • Validate data / enforce referential integrity
                      • Allow many users to access the data at the same time
                      • Back up and restore data

         4.2.2       Any ONE of: ✓ The name and cellphone number of L. Ngcobo
                     appear more than once / the details of S. Mthembu (or T. Zulu)
                     appear in more than one record                                             (1)
         4.2.3       Any TWO of the following (name ✓ + explanation with example ✓):

                      • Update anomaly: if a customer/driver changes a cellphone
                        number, it must be changed in every record, e.g. S. Mthembu’s
                        number in P1001 and P1002; if one record is missed the data
                        becomes inconsistent
                      • Delete anomaly: deleting a record removes other data that is
                        still needed, e.g. deleting parcel P1004 removes the only record
                        of customer A. Botha and his cellphone number
                      • Insert anomaly: a new driver or customer cannot be added until
                        he/she has a parcel (ParcelID is required)
                                                                                                (4)

         4.3.2       Validation only checks that data is reasonable/follows the rules; data
