What is a software that communicates with computer hardware on the most basic level?
operating system
Two types of computer hardware?
Input/output
What is the transmission protocol between a computer and a peripheral device?
The way a computer communicates with a peripheral device is through a device driver. A device driver is a low level computer program that allows higher level programs to communicate with a hardware device connected to the computer bus. Device drivers are hardware dependent and specific to an operating system.
What is the transmission between a computer and it's peripheral devices?

A device driver is a low level computer program that allows higher level programs to communicate with a hardware device connected to the computer bus. Device drivers are hardware dependent and specific to an operating system.
How a operating system is related to computer hardware?
The operating system (OS) controls the hardware. A successful computer system will have hardware and an operating system. Application software is not required. All operating systems have a low level, or machine language to run the operation system and control all hardware.
Is assembler a hardware?
No, an assembler is not hardware; it is a software tool. An assembler translates assembly language, which is a low-level programming language, into machine code that a computer's hardware can execute. While it interacts closely with the hardware, it operates as a program running on a computer rather than being a physical component.
A driver that has full access to all hardware and the memory of the computer has what type of security level?
Kernel mode By A Raju
How does hardware interact with software?
hey, As the hardware is only the component but the microcontroller or microprocessor built with in works as an heart of the circuit. it contains the program written in high level languages which are compiled or assembelled to work as an machine language.
Who converts the computer language into machine language?
A compiler or interpreter converts high-level programming languages into machine code that can be understood and executed by the computer's hardware.
What is low level hardware?
Low-level hardware refers to the physical components of a computer system that operate closely with the machine's architecture, including the CPU, memory, and input/output devices. These components are responsible for executing basic operations and directly interacting with the machine's binary code. Unlike high-level hardware, which may involve more abstract systems like graphical interfaces or user applications, low-level hardware focuses on the foundational elements that enable computing processes. Understanding low-level hardware is essential for tasks such as systems programming, embedded systems design, and hardware troubleshooting.
What is assembly code and how is it used in computer programming?
Assembly code is a low-level programming language that uses mnemonic instructions to communicate directly with a computer's hardware. It is used in computer programming to write programs that are more efficient and faster than those written in higher-level languages. Programmers use assembly code to control hardware components and optimize performance in tasks that require precise control over the computer's resources.
Does the Intel Pentium III processor have a DirectX or higher sound card and graphics card?
To answer your question, we have to first separate the definition of a Processor. The CPU or Central Processing Unit is the main brain of the computer. GPU or Graphic Processing Unit is the main brain on the Graphic card, separate from the CPU A soundcard is again a separate sound CODEC chip integrated on a motherboard or on a separate PCB (Printed Circuit Board) and it also is separate from the CPU. Now, a computer that has a graphics card and soundcard that uses a Pentium 3 CPU are normally supported by DirectX. So long as the manufacturer has submitted the drivers to Microsoft for WHQL certification (Windows Hardware Quality Libs) They will be supported by all DirectX drivers from that version to which they were submited for, to current versions of DX (9c) DirectX drivers are extentions of the writen drivers for the respective add on cards so that the hardware has a clean line, if you will, to the CPU. The added benifit of DX certified drivers is a smoother itegration and operation of your PC. (Personal Computer) Having said all this, let me specify that there are better definitions to the DX drivers, but not knowing your level of understanding, I felt this was the easiest way to explain. NOW.....Before you buy a game, or want to add some other software that relies on the DX extentions, you will need to check with the Manufactures of the add on cards to make sure if they are WHQL certified. They will be the best source for newer drivers if the ones you have aren't up to date.
