The importance of having a master and a slave drive during processing is so that there is no mix up when programs are trying to identify the partition table. Instances of accidental data loss are reduced.

What is slave unit?

A slave unit is normally a unit controlled my another unit on a network, or that does the same thing as another unit. For example if you have two harddrives in your computer on will be the master and the other one is called the slave unit


How does an operating system create an illusion of multiprocessing?

Multiprocessing means multiple processes are running at the same time but actually it the processor is so frequent it seems like that we are running two or more processes at the same time ... second thing is that ::The term multiprocessing is also referred as ::use of multiprocessor within a computer system.


What are the features of spi protocol?

ANSWERI find it simplest to think of SPI as a way for two devices to trade the contents of their SPI registers. The master drives the clock (typically 8 or 16 clocks for 8 or 16 bit SPI registers) and when it has finished, the master's SPI register holds the value that the slave placed in its SPI register and the slave's SPI register holds the value that was in the master's SPI register.This requires three connections, a clock (driven by the master) and a data line from each device (master in/slave out, and master out/slave in).There are typically other connections required for practical purposes, such as interrupt and select lines.SPI is a synchronous protocol, so the clock signals do not have to be evenly spaced (constant frequency). The slave is only looking for the correct number of clock transitions.The master and slave must be set up to expect the data to be valid at the correct clock transitions (high-to-low or low-to-high). This is the concept of SPI "modes."Usually a slave device will trigger an internal interrupt when a new value arrives, and if the value is not read before a new value arrives, an overflow flag will be set, indicating the data has been lost.

Difference between asymmetric and symmetric multiprocessing and simple multiprocessors?

A symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) system is one in which each processor runs an identical copy of the operating system on each processor. In an asymmetric multiprocessing, system, each processor is assigned a specific tasks. An example of this would be a master- slave relationship between one processor and “the rest”.

The slave always knows more about the master for several reasons. It is beneficial to the slave's survival to know everything about the master such as what the master wants, how he thinks and acts, and more.


What is the meaning of Master-slave communication protocol?

A master-slave communication protocol allows hardware components to communicate between them. A component is either a master or a slave. A master initiates the communication and sends requests. A slave only receives the requests, acknoledges, threats and sends a response. A slave cannot initiates a communication.
