What is process in IT?
A process is an instance of a program running in a computer.It is loaded in the memory of the computer and can be executed in the CPU.
How program instructions transfer in and out of memory?
The instructions have to remain in memory at all times while the program is running. They get there by loading the entire program into memory. The CPU's instruction registers keep track of the current instruction and the next instruction.
What are SWAP files used for?
A disk file used to temporarily save a program or part of a program running in memory
What is called A reserved area of the immediate access memory used to increase the running speed of the computer program?
cache memory
What is Windows virtual memory?
Virtual memory is a way of allocated extra space from your hard drive as RAM space. For instance, if you are running a program which is memory intensive such as Photoshop and you don't have enough RAM to handle all the temporary memory requirements, but you have a few extra gigs of space on your hard drive, you can set your Virtual Memory to 2 or 3 GB's to help balance the load.
What type of volatile memory is usually used only for temporary storage while running a program?
RAM--Random Access Memory.
Can you have two instances of the same program open at the same time?
This depends on the Operating System. For some yes, for others no. Some very old multiuser timesharing Operating Systems running on computers with very limited amounts of memory had a way to load a program once, but run many instances of it without having to reload it again. Modern computers with large memories and virtual memory have no need for this and simply reload the program every time another instance is needed. But as I already said, some Operating Systems cannot run more than one instance of any program at a time.
When the object is created?
The computer desktop encyclopedia saysIn object technology, to create an object of a specific class(1) A single copy of a running program. Multiple instances of a program mean that the program has been loaded into memory several times. (2) In object technology, a member of a class; for example, "Lassie" is an instance of the class "dog." When an instance is created, the initial values of its instance variables are assigned.
Is it possible to use floppy disk without using Direct Memory Access?
DMA or Direct Memory Access is the process of getting memory (RAM) without using the CPU. It is turned on based on the program you are running. It is used for things like making sounds while a game is running or for moving data from a floppy and hard drives into RAM. So the program you are running will determine if DMA is used, it does not matter if it is a floppy.
Is memory allocated for instance methods for each instance method call?
No! Instance methods are allocated memory at first time only.
When was The Memory of Running created?
The Memory of Running was created in 2004.
What does it mean to run a program?
In computer terminology, "running a program" means copying a sequence of instructions from storage into main memory and initiating the execution or interpretation of those instructions.
