Each running thread is allocated a time slice. When a thread's allocated time slice expires, the CPU state is saved and the next thread's state is restored. Thus each thread continues from exactly where it left off. The time slices themselves are just a few milliseconds in length. In this way many applications can appear to be running simultaneously. However, the more applications that are running, the slower they will execute because they each get fewer time slices per second. Applications are also prioritised so that high priority tasks get more CPU time than low priority tasks. Typically there are around 16 levels of priority, where 0 is the highest priority.
What else can I help you with?
What is the central part of the computer that contains the logic circuitry and carries out the instructions of the computer's programs?
the microprocessor, also called the processor or the central processing unit (CPU)
That tells the rest of computer system how to carry out a programs instructions?
the answer is the CPU ( central processing unit). if you open up a file the CPU retrieves the files from the hard drive and are temporarily sent to the RAM (random access memory) until you close it. the same process apply's for programs.
Justify the statement CPU is the brain of the computer?
The CPU is what "thinks" about everything.
What is the other name for a computer processor?
CPU, or Central Processing Unit.
In a computer most processing takes place in?
This answer would be the CPU (Central Processing Unit).
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.
Two programs can literally multitask if a system has a single CPU?
False!
Can Two programs literally multitask if a system has a single CPU?
No, they cannot.
What is the meaning of Micro Computer?
A micro computer is a computer with a microprocessor as its central processing unit. A microprocessor incorporates most or all of a CPU. A CPU (central processing unit), executes computer programs.
What does CPU do when there is no program running?
The CPU will always do processing. Even though there are no application programs running, the operating system is still running and the CPU will still have to process many system processes during the operation of the computer.
Why you would want to limit the type of incoming connections on a computer?
If too many programs are running or if too many incoming connections are on your computer, it could slow your CPU speed down.
What computer memory is used for storing programs processed by the CPU?
Internal memory (RAM)
Where are Data and programs that are not currently being used kept in a computer?
CPU
Where does the processing of programs and data takes place?
Data is usually processed in the computer's memory.
What does the computer hard disk or CPU do?
The computer hard disk and CPU have completely different purposes. Your question asks "or", so I will tell you that the hard disk stores data and programs. Having answered that the "or" means I must not tell you what the CPU does.
Where is the CPU and hard drive found in computer?
The System Unit contains the computers CPU(central processing unit), also called the processor,which is the brain of the computer system and the hard drivewhich stores all the computer's resident programs.
Where is the computer CPU and hard drive found?
The System Unit contains the computers CPU(central processing unit), also called the processor,which is the brain of the computer system and the hard drivewhich stores all the computer's resident programs.
