Mission #2: To make the full use of all the 1,000 flying drones in Mission #1, it is decided that all the flying drones will be installed with specific sensors to detect the humidity, radiation level, temperature and wind speed, etc. sampled simultaneously at 1,000 spots over the surface of the BS-V. All the measured data will be instantly sent via a new wireless communication technology back to a high-performance computer system for real-time data analytics. A team of computer engineers among the rebellions is trying to design the targeted computer system, and has considered the possibility of building: i. a centralized computer system with a very low-latency data bus connecting a matrix of parallel processing cores; ii. a iii. a private cloud computing platform integrated with a cluster of servers installed with GPUs. distributed computer system with a low-latency computer network connecting a cluster of parallel servers; Based on the above possible designs considered by the team or other new design(s) that you may think of, clearly describe the most appropriate computer system design for the challenging task of real-time data analytics on the BS-V, and give a critical evaluation based on various aspects including the cost-effectiveness, extendibility, reliability, security and scalability, etc. of the resulting computer system. The Primal Printer Company is considering 5 new box designs of different sizes to package 4 upcoming lines of computer printers. The following table shows the wasted space that each box would have if used to package each printer. Missing values indicate that a box cannot be used for a particular printer. Printer Box A B C D 1 5 10 DE 2 20 25 - 3 70 10 4 40 50 5 40 40 30 Primal wants to decide which box design to use for each printer, in a way that minimizes the number of box designs used plus the total wasted space. Formulate an integer linear program that solves Primal's problem. Be sure to clearly define the decision variables that you use, and explain the objective function, the main constraints, and the variable-type constraints that you write.
