What other kinds of waiting are there in an operating system?
Some other kinds of waiting in an operating system include waiting on applications, waiting on the user, and waiting for hardware to communicate. The operating system facilities many different components to work in sync.
How does ghz define speed of CPU?
GHz refers to how many instructions - or cycles - a processor can process per second.For example, if you has a 2.4 GHz processor, it could do 2,400,000,000 processes per second.
You have an Intel Pentium 1.6ghz and 1g ram how many processes can it handle?
Processes are dictated by the operating system, not the processor. Depending on the applications you are running and the amount of memory you have, you can probably get a couple thousand running.
How many operations per second does a 2.5 ghz processor make?
One gigahertz is equal to one billion ticks per second. A computer with a 2.5 ghz processor can do 2,500,000,000 processes per second.
How many cores does the Intel Pentium 4 3 GHz processor have?
The Intel Pentium 4 3.0 GHz processor is a single core processor, but if you'd like to upgrade to dual core, have a look at the Intel Pentium 4 531 3.0GHz Processor Upgrade RH008AV.
How many processors did Intel has till now?
It would be impossible to list every single processor model and stepping produced by Intel.
What is a compute bound program?
In general, applications are I/O bound or processor bound, meaning that the process is waiting for either I/O or everything else is waiting for the processor to finish working. With the speed of today's CPU's, most modern applications are NOT processor bound, meaning that we're typically not waiting for the processor to finish what it's doing. Usually we're waiting for some kind of I/O process to complete. Many times we're I/O bound when we have insufficient memory and the operating system has to "swap" an application or parts of an application out to swap space (virtual memory) on the disk. Moving an application into and out of virtual memory becomes very time consuming and is often the reason people are advised to add more Random Access Memory (RAM) to make the computer run faster.
Why is Justin Bieber dating so many girls do they know?
Justin Bieber is currently single !
What electronic component stores instructions waiting to be executed?
No single type of component does this, it is done by a circuit composed of many different components.
Why cant a single computer processor execute two or more programs simultaneously?
In simple terms a single processor can only process one machine instruction at a time; it's just not possible to execute two or more instructions simultaneously and therefore not possible to execute 2 programs simultaneously. However, it's not quite as simple as that because a modern processor can have 2 or more cores, in which case it is possible to execute 2 or more instructions simultaneously. However, that's not quite the same thing as executing 2 programs simultaneously as we invariably execute far more threads of execution than we have cores available. Note that a program consists of one or more processes and a process consists of one or more threads of execution. Although it is theoretically possible to execute two threads simultaneously upon two cores, when those cores share the same processor they also share the same L2 cache and that's really only beneficial when both threads share the same process. With 2 independent processors there's a better chance of simultaneous program execution, however it's nigh on impossible to guarantee this unless the system is specifically designed for that purpose. In a multi-processing, multi-threaded environment, task-switching makes it next to impossible for any two independent programs to execute simultaneously because every thread has to yield to waiting threads.
How many types of multiprocessing?
Multi processing is the use of two or more central processing units within a single computer system.There are three types of Multi processing units which includes processor symmetry, instruction and data streams and processor coupling.
How many bits in i7 processor?
The i7 is a 64 bit processor.
