Impact of CPU utilization by increasing CPU speed?
Increasing CPU speed will maintain the current level of CPU utilization, in the case where the process mix is compute bound, or decrease CPU utilization, in the case where the process mix is I/O bound.
Does data use the CPU?
The CPU processes data, so data would be using the CPU.
What option allows you to view processes sorted by how CPU hungry they are?
Check your Task Manager, under the processes tab. You can sort it by Memory or CPU.
Difference between io bound and CPU bound?
I/O-bound programs have the property of performing only a small amount of computation before performing IO. Such programs typically do not use up their entire CPU quantum. CPU-bound programs, on the other hand, use their entire quantum without performing any blocking IO operations. Consequently, one could make better use of the computer's resources by giving higher priority to I/O-bound programs and allow them to execute ahead of the CPU-bound programs.
How a Round Robin scheduling algorithm allocates the CPU to processes?
The round-robin scheduling algorithm allocates CPU time to processes by sequentially assigning the CPU to processes of equal priority that are in the state of being able to use the CPU. (Not blocked) This works by appearing to evenly distribute the CPU amongst CPU ready processes. Processes that are waiting on something, such as an I/O event, particularly waiting on the user to press Enter, are not considered for allocation. Often, there is a priority assigned to the process, which factors in the allocation strategy. Processes that are mostly I/O intensive tend to have higher priority, giving them good response time. Processes that are mostly CPU intensive tend to have lower priority, so they don't interfere with overall system responsiveness.
What is the name of the chip that carries out most of the processing for a computer?
The Central Processing Unit (CPU) chip carries out all of the processes for a computer...CPU chips can operate as fast as 3 billion processes a second....For example if you see advertised 2.8GHz CPU, that means the CPU can process 2.8 billion processes a second.
Distinguish between a CPU-bound process and an io- bound process?
A program is CPU bound if it would go faster if the CPU were faster, i.e. it spends the majority of its time simply using the CPU (doing calculations). A program that computes new digits of π will typically be CPU-bound, it's just crunching numbers. A program is I/O bound if it would go faster if the I/O subsystem was faster. Which exact I/O system is meant can vary; I typically associate it with disk. A program that looks through a huge file for some data will often be I/O bound, since the bottleneck is then the reading of the data from disk.
What are the limitations of CPU?
Time of CPU usage per minute, Number of processes running at once
Temporarily holds data and instruction as the CPU processes them?
Random Access
Why is it important for the scheduler to distinguish IO-bound programs from CPU-bound programs?
Any CPU will have an I/O which en ply external devices data transfers. The CPU internally will process data. While both are data bus they are definitely not the same
What measures how fast the CPU processes data?
system unit
Measures how quickly CPU processes data?
Clock Speed
