What else can I help you with?
Justify the statement CPU is the brain of the computer?
The CPU is what "thinks" about everything.
In what two modes does a CPU operate?
A CPU operates in real mode and protected mode
Describe the function of the instruction set of a CPU?
They tell the CPU where to find the data, when to read it, and what to do with it.
What is the other name for a computer processor?
CPU, or Central Processing Unit.
Which medium used between CPU and ram to speed up the processing power of CPU?
cache
What is context schedulling?
Context switching is the process of saving the state of a process or thread, and then restoring the state of another process or thread for execution. Context switching enables multitasking by allowing multiple processes or threads to share a single CPU. It involves saving and restoring CPU registers, program counter, and stack pointers.
What is anther name for CPU?
Another name for the CPU (Central Processing Unit) is the "processor." It is sometimes referred to as the "microprocessor," especially in the context of modern computers, where it is integrated into a single chip. The CPU is responsible for executing instructions and processing data in a computer system.
Describe the action taken by a kernel to context switch between kernel level threads?
Context switching between kernel threads typically requires saving the value of the CPU registers from the thread being switched out and restoring the CPU registers of the new thread being scheduled.
Discuss how the following pairs of scheduling criteria conflict in certain settings?
• CPU utilization and response time: CPU utilization is increased if the overheads associated with context switching is minimized. The context switching overheads could be lowered by performing context switches infrequently. This could however result in increasing the response time for processes. • Average turnaround time and maximum waiting time: Average turnaround time is minimized by executing the shortest tasks first. Such a scheduling policy could however starve long-running tasks and thereby increase their waiting time. • I/O device utilization and CPU utilization: CPU utilization is maximized by running long-running CPU-bound tasks without performing context switches. I/O device utilization is maximized by scheduling I/O-bound jobs as soon as they become ready to run, thereby incurring the overheads of context switches.
What is the principal disadvantge of too much multiprogramming?
The principal disadvantge of too much multiprogramming is the overhead of excesssive context-switching. If the context-switch rate is too high, the overhead can actually overwhelm the benefit of multiprogramming.
Who is invited the CPU?
The term "CPU" stands for Central Processing Unit, which is the main component of a computer that performs most of the processing inside the device. If you meant "who is invited to the CPU," it may refer to the various components and peripherals that connect to and communicate with the CPU, such as RAM, storage devices, and input/output devices. However, if you're asking about a specific event or context involving a "CPU," please provide more details for a more accurate response.
What is CPU protection?
CPU protection is one who protect the CPU. and the one who destroy the CPU also is the one who protect the CPU and the one who destroy the CPU is the one who protect the CPU and the one who destroy the CPU is the who protect the CPU and the one who destroy the CPU is the one who protect the CPU and the one who destroy the CPU is the who protect the CPU and the one who destroy the CPU is the one who protect the CPU and the one who destroy the CPU is the one who protect the CPU.
What is considered a high CPU usage?
High CPU usage typically refers to a sustained CPU utilization level above 80-90%. At this level, the system may experience performance degradation, lag, or unresponsiveness. However, what constitutes "high" can vary based on the application and system workload; for instance, intensive tasks like video rendering can naturally lead to higher CPU usage without indicating a problem. Regular monitoring and context are essential to determine if high CPU usage is a concern.
What is key difference between a trap and interrupt?
An interrupt is generally initiated by an I/O device, and causes the CPU to stop what it's doing, save its context, jump to the appropriate interrupt service routine, complete it, restore the context, and continue execution. For example, a serial device may assert the interrupt line and then place an interrupt vector number on the data bus. The CPU uses this to get the serial device interrupt service routine, which it then executes as above.A trap is usually initiated by the CPU hardware. When ever the trap condition occurs (on arithmetic overflow, for example), the CPU stops what it's doing, saves the context, jumps to the appropriate trap routine, completes it, restores the context, and continues execution. For example, if overflow traps are enabled, adding two very large integers would cause the overflow bit to be set AND the overflow trap service routine to be initiated.
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.
What is the CPU temperature range?
The Cpu Temperature is The Maximum/Minimum temperature of Cpu, You have to be inside these limits for your Cpu Safety
Do you get a CPU cooler if you buy a Intel CPU?
Yes you will as CPU manufactures prefer if you use there CPU cooler as the cooler has been designed for the thermal rating of the CPU.
