Does each address in memory stores just a byte or does it vary?

It depends upon the length of the data bit that is being stored in one memory address by the processor .


Where are programs stored while they are running- hard disc drive or memory?

While programs are running, they are stored in the computer's memory, specifically in RAM (Random Access Memory). This allows for quick access and execution of instructions by the CPU. In contrast, the hard disk drive (or SSD) is used for long-term storage of programs and data when they are not actively being used.


Does the speed of the computer depend on cores?

The number of processor cores are more like a speed multiplier. So the answer is:Yes, when software is designed only for multi core processors or running more then one program.No, when it is a single program and that software is designed to work on a single core processor.If you had only one program running the number of cores would not affect the speed that program ran. This is because only one processor core is used for a single piece of software unless that software is design only to be used on a multi core processor. The number of processor cores increases the speed of a system when the processor is multitasking. The number of cores allow you to run a equal number of programs at the processors speed without sharing the processors resource's.Examples:If you use a Quad core 3 Ghz processor; you could run 4 programs at the same time and each would run 3 GHz without the processor switching between programs. So the result is 12 GHz of processing being handled at one time.If you use a Quad core 3 GHz processor while you ran only 1 program and it was not designed for multi core. The result would be only 3 GHz of processing being handled.If you use a Quad core 3 Ghz processor; you could run more then 4 programs at the same time. The maximum processing being handled would still be no more then 12 GHz.

How is ham product most commonly transported from farm to processor?

The pigs walk to the processor and then after being cured, it walks to the store.


Is software stored in main memory or non volatile memory?

Both. The software resides in the nonvolatile memory when it is not being run, and a copy is loaded into main memory when it is being run. Programs have to reside in RAM in order for the CPU to process their instructions.


What is the difference between a emulator and debugger?

A simulator is a software that duplicates some processor in almost all the possible ways. An emulator is a hardware which duplicates the features and functions of a real system, so that it can behave like the actual system. Usually the emulators and simulators are used for the testing of new architectures and also to give training in some complex systems. A most famous example for a simulator is the flight simulator that simulates the functonalities of an aircraft. Basically a simulator tests the program on the development processor (the processor on which we are working), while an emulator is used on the target processor (the processor for which the program is being written).

How does a batch operating system differs from the multiprogrammed OS?

A batch processing system is where programs or data are collected together in a batch and processed in one go. Typically the processing of payrolls, electricity bills, invoices and daily transactions are dealt with this way. This method of operation lends itself to jobs with similar inputs, processing and outputs where no human intervention is needed. Jobs are stored in a queue until the computer is ready to deal with them. Often batch processed jobs are done overnight. Multi-programming ------------------------ Multi-programming is a method of operating such that several programs appear to be running at once. The jobs are usually given priorities. The operating system switches jobs in and out of processor time according to priority. For example, while one job is being allocated printer time, another will be being processed in memory. The processor is so fast that it seems that many jobs are being processed at the same time.
