What operating system are used to control and coordinate computers that are linked together?
NOS (Network Operating System)
What difference between cluster system and multiprocessor system?
A cluster system consists of multiple independent computers connected together, each with its own operating system and resources, while a multiprocessor system has multiple processors sharing the same memory and operating system. In a cluster system, each node operates independently and communicates through a network, whereas in a multiprocessor system, all processors share the same memory space and can access shared resources more efficiently. Clusters are typically used for high availability and scalability, while multiprocessor systems are designed for high performance and parallel processing tasks.
Features of batch operating system?
Batch operating systems group together similar IPs into batches. The OS then runs processes on these IPs based on their characteristics.
Explain the impact of the evolution of computer hardware with respect to the evolution of operating system?
What changes are made to computer hardware in response to changes in operating systemsIn many ways, computer hardware and operating systems grow together - changes in hardware have to be accomodated by changes in the operating system to support them, conversely the way the operating system uses the hardware may well influence hardware designers to improve aspects of their work.ExampleWhen Windows XP was released, DVD writers were fairly rare and expensive devices and XP did not directly support them; third party writing software had to be used. When Vista was released, the operating system accomodated the new hardware.Conversely, Windows computers rely heavily on DirectX technology for graphics. Video adaptor designers specifically try to make their devices so they run DirectX well.Computer companies such as IBM and Apple produce both the computer and the operating systems, so they can more tightly couple the two together for simpler operation.
Whether the operating system should include application such as web browser and mail program?
Nobody has exactly definied what an Operating System is. If it is the kernel only, then the answer is no. If it is the kernel, the common libraries, the GUI and the applications together, then the answer is yes.
Can i connect multiple computers into a supercomputer?
Linking multiple computers together is known as a Computer Cluster. Look that up and you should have your answer.
Multiple computers hooked together?
internet??? Network???....
What operating system are used to control and coordinate computers that are linked together?

What communications device connects multiple computers together and transmits data to its correct destination on a network?
A router connects multiple computers together and transmits data to its correct destination on a network.
What does OS X do?
OS X is an operating system. To put it simply, it ties together your computers hardware and software.
What is a special-purpose computer that functions as a component in a larger product?
Do you mean what type of computer is a special purpose computer [...]? I'm not aware of any single term for a computer that functions as a component in a larger system.Below is some examples of computers which do function as a component in larger systems:Clustering Operating System is a type of software which allows multiple computers to join together and its software + networking disguises the underlying computers to look like one large computer.This is useful for scientific computing where all computers will be guaranteed to not shut down, but more resources than is available on one computer is needed to complete the computation.Fail-Over Load-Balancing Server is another type of computer. It's purpose is to run a process on multiple computers at once. And the one that succeeds first is the one that gets processed. The Load-Balancing part knows what computers to start a process on. This is so if one computer goes down, the software component will still get ran.This is useful for web-servers which need fault tolerance so if one computer goes down, the software still performs its job.There are also Industrial Computers which function together, but individually, to produce a single product. Like on conveyer belts in a manufacturing plant.
What are in Computer networks?
Computer networks consist of multiple computers and other electrical devices linked together
What are examples of distributed operating system?
Several operating systems are capable of functioning in a distributed manner, including Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, and Mac OS X.
Can laptop computers and desktop computers be networked together?
Yes.
When two or more computers can communicate together you have?
You have a network of computers!
Why is motherboards considered to be the most complicated component in computers?
It's not. All the motherboard is is a collection of buses, circuits, and sockets that connect all the different pieces of hardware together so they can operate and communicate.
Relationship between a bridge and a switch?
Switches connect computers directly together while bridges connect switches, router etc together
