Where are programs copied into for the CPU to read?
Programs are copied into the computer's memory (RAM) for the CPU to read and execute.
What stores programs and dat that are not currently being used by the CPU?
The component that stores programs and data not currently being used by the CPU is called RAM (Random Access Memory). RAM temporarily holds data and instructions that the CPU may need for quick access while executing tasks. When the system is powered off or when programs are closed, data in RAM is lost, as it is volatile memory. For long-term storage, data is saved on non-volatile storage devices like hard drives or SSDs.
How is multiprogramming achieved by an operating system?
When the timeslot for the current program runs out, the routine saves the current CPU context into a datastructure, selects a new program to be run for the next timeslot, and loads the CPU registers with the values that were saved in that process's datastructure. Hence a new program gets the CPU. This cycle continues till all programs are terminated or aborted.
The CPU runs programs by receiving instructions from?
cmos
What is a program for a processor speed test?
There are lots of programs out there that will help someone perform a processor speed test. Some of these programs include; CPU Speed Professional, CPU Speed Pro Software, and CPU Speed Test Software.
How are programs copied into the CPU for it to read?
Programs are copied into the CPU for it to read through a process called loading. Loading involves transferring the program's instructions from storage, such as a hard drive or memory, into the CPU's memory for execution. This allows the CPU to access and execute the program's instructions in the correct sequence.
Are the programs stored in CPU?
No, programs are not stored in the CPU. Instead, they are stored in the computer's memory (RAM) or on storage devices like hard drives or SSDs. The CPU executes instructions from these programs by fetching them from memory, processing them, and then sending the results back to memory or to output devices. The CPU itself contains registers and caches for temporary storage of data and instructions during execution.
What is used to store programs and data in its electronic circuits during the execution of programs by the CPU?
rom
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
Why is it safer to overclock a CPU by changing the multiplier?
because it reduces the load....
I was changing out a bad CPU fan in a laptop do you need to add thermal compound when changing?
If you're just changing the fan, no. If you're changing the entire heatsink, yes.
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.
