What else can I help you with?
A microprocessor runs an internal program called an?
A microprocessor runs and internal program called an operating system. For hardware functions such as input and output and memory allocation, the operating system acts as an intermediary between programs and the computer hardware.
Is McAfee virus protection a computer hardware?
No, McAfee virus protection is not hardware. Instead, it is a software program. Hardware is the physical parts of a computer, but software is computer code. So an antivirus program is software, not hardware.
What program simplifies the installation of new hardware?
PnP, or "Plug and Play"
When using the computer as an analogy to explain the relationship between cognition and the brain the brain is described as the computer's and cognition as its?
They describe the physical brain as the computer's hardware, and cognition as its software.
What is a program or set of instructions called?
a program is called a program. a set of instructions is called a manual.
What is the relationship between hardware and software?
ewanko
What takes care of the interaction between a program and a computers hardware?
The operating system and the hardware device drivers.
What is relationship between hardware and software in OSI?
software is the mind that tells the mechanical parts which are the hardware on how to proceed and perform.
What is the meaning of device drivers?
Every hardware device requires a software program that provides an interface between the operating system and the hardware itself. These programs are known as the hardware device drivers.
What is a set of system software routines that sits between the application program and the hardware?
An Operating System.
The gateway between the user and the computer as well as between the application program and the computer system's hardware is the?
Correct Answer: Operating System
Is scanner a hardware or software?
A scanner is both hardware and software, the device itself is hardware (all devices are hardware) but the driver(a program) that runs it is software.
Which is more expensive between software and hardware?
This depends on the exact pieces software and hardware that are under comparison. Although hardware is generally considered more costly, a software program may prove more costly than a hardware device.
A microprocessor runs an internal program called an?
A microprocessor runs and internal program called an operating system. For hardware functions such as input and output and memory allocation, the operating system acts as an intermediary between programs and the computer hardware.
Is another word for program hardware?
No a program is software or application. Hardware are things like power supply, ram, printer, keyboard, mouse, etc.
What is the name of the software program that lets your computer communicate with a hardware device?
The name of the program that lets your computer to communicate with hardware devices is call KERNEL. Kernel communicates between hardware and software of a computer and manages how hardware resources are used to meet software requirements
State the relationship between an application program the operating system and hardware?
The relationship between an application program and the underlying hardware is usually shown in the form of a stack of layers as shown below: # Application # Application Programming Interface (API) # Operating System # Device Driver # Hardware Most applications need to know how to talk to the operating system - which is why the operating system will provide a set of programming libraries knows as APIs or SDKs (Software Development Kits) for programmers to use when writing applications. The APIs sit between the operating system and the running application. The running application relies on the API to perform essential tasks on the computer by telling the operating system what it wants to do - which is why a program that is written to use Windows Vista APIs will not run on an Apple Mac without some kind of emulation or help. Because there are so many different pieces of hardware, it would be impossible for an operating system to support them all (especially the lesser known devices). That's why hardware manufacturers will write device drivers for different operating systems, so the operating system knows how to talk to the hardware.
