Vlsi is the process of creating an integrated circuit (ic) by combing thousands of transistors into a single chip. there are two kinds of widely used ic technologies. one is fpga and other is asic. budget, power consumption, and speed are the common parameters considered for the selection of these technologies. suppose, a medium volume production of an image transformation circuit is required. as a circuit design team lead, which one of the two ic technologies you will select considering the above given parameters for the design of production of required transformation circuit? support your answer with valid reasons in either case.

ASIC. And this is because our requirement is Application specific.

Explanation:

Undoubtedly, FPGA is not an option here, and ASIC is the correct option. To understand this, you need to understand FPGA and ASIC in detail. These are the two forms of IC that we have. The FPGA is a field-programmable option and can be programmed by the designer according to the purpose he wants to use that IC. The full form of the FPGA is the field-programmable Gate Array. However, here we know that we need the IC for medium volume production of an image transformation circuit, and thus we need to use the ASIC, which stands for Application-specific Integrated Circuit. Briefly, Our requirement is application-specific like Bitcoin, and hence we need to select ASIC.

a  social news website  is an  internet  website  that features  user-posted stories. such stories are ranked based on popularity, as voted on by other users of the site or by website administrators. users typically comment online on the news posts and these comments may also be ranked in popularity. since their emergence with the birth of  web 2.0, social news sites have been used to link many types of information, including news, humor, support, and discussion. all such websites allow the users to submit content and each site differs in how the content is moderated. on the  slashdot  and  fark  websites,  administrators  decide which articles are selected for the front page. on  reddit  and  digg, the articles that get the most votes from the community of users will make it to the front page. many social news websites also feature an online comment system, where users discuss the issues raised in an article. some of these sites have also applied their voting system to the comments, so that the most popular comments are displayed first. some social news websites also have a  social networking  function, in that users can set up a user profile and follow other users' online activity on the website.
