What is hardware realization?

Hardware realization is the use of hardware based emulators. These emulators are used to keep old software and games running. Basically it is when you make your computer run a simulation as though it is running with the specifications of an older system.

Which components in PC maintains date and time?

The CMOS chip maintains the date & time. It draws its power from the computers mains circuit when plugged into a power socket, and from a back-up batter when unplugged.

What type of device is required to connect to a dedicated digital communication line?

The input units accepts coded information from human operators so electromechanical devices such as keyboards are required to connet to a dedicated digital communication line

Is Bios Life Slim the same as Metamucil?

Bios Life Slim and Metamucil are both fiber supplements that have clinically shown favorable impact on cholesterol levels, however, Bios Life Slim is more effective. The additional cost of Bios Life compared to an over the counter Metamucil is in the patented formula that combines a specific amount of guar gum with a mineral carbonate. Thus, inside your body, this combination reaches a maximal dispersion as opposed to remaining in a "glob," so to speak. The dispersion in your stomach increases the surface area of the fiber that can interact with the bile salts that your body produces during digestion and, therefore, it effectively helps eliminate more cholesterol from the body. No other product on the market uses this patented mechanism.

Who uses video and audio editing software?

Movie directors, and anyone in the film business

What are the example of digital devices?

These are the digital devices solenoid, computer, computer hardware, mobile phone, camera etc.

Is a chunk of information sent over network?

Information sent over a network us sent in the form of packets, think of it as taking a large file and chopping it up into many little tiny chucks and adding headers and footers as well as Error checking code (and many other things) and then sending it to its destination for reassembly.

Is a surge strip the same as an uninterruptible power supply?

No.

A surge strip is a power strip with a surge protector that will shut itself off if it detects a significant surge in power. It protects devices from electrical damage by flipping itself off or in some cases blowing it's own fuse.

A UPS, uninterpretable power supply, also acts as a surge protector but with the added bonus of having battery power to compensate for lack of power temporarily. This gives the user time to shut down the computer and save their work so as not to loose any progress made.

Hope this helps!

Can a power supply be too powerful for a desktop computer?

Simply put, no it can't but getting a more powerful one then you need is a complete waste of money. (I'm thinking about watts)

Are CF-18 Panasonic Toughbooks intrinsically safe?

The CF-18 can be purchased with the intrinsically safe option but it does not come standard. If your CF-18 is intrinsically safe it will have the ratings printed on the bottom and on the door for the pcmcia slots.

Is cache memory a removable memory?

No, a cache memory is often used to store data that has been needed recently on grounds that it will be faster to access when/if it is needed again.

When data that is requested is contained in the cache you have a cache hit, and when you have to retrieve it from the hard drive (or where ever its original storage was) again it is called a cache miss. Retrieving data from the hard drive is slower than retrieving it from the cache.

How do components get power?

A computer's power supply unit provides all needed voltages for the components of a computer that are internal.

Externals either draw power from the USB bus (which in turn gets it's power from the aforementioned PSU or a Hub with a power supply) OR have their own internal power supply with a cable.

What purpose of the CPU battery?

It's not really a CPU battery but it keeps your Date and Time, etc, in memory so the system will be ready for start up.

What hardware is required for a qr code?

a qr generator, many are free and a qr reader for your smart phone/ mobile device, also free in the app store.

good luck,

Which is good to make career on hardware networking or software development?

They are all good careers. You have to decide what you are interested in and what you are good at. Some may suit some people better than others. So different people will go into these different roles. There are needs for them, so whichever they go into, there will be jobs in them.

What is reducing cache misses?

Cache memory is fast memory that resides immediately next to the CPU; it is virtually 15 times faster than the next fastest memory: system RAM. The system RAM is organised from "location 0" to "location n" where "n" is the number of bytes your computer has of RAM. The Cache is like yellow stickers on your desk, with the location slot on top. So this memory is accessed according to content not to where it is.So cache memory is very limited-- usually less than 4 MB-- compared to system RAM, which may have many gigabytes.

That being said, the CPU tries to predict which system memory it will need next, and instructs the address control unit to prefetch this data and place it into the cache. If the CPU was correct in "guessing" the memory blocks the CPU can blaze along with its processing at the 2ns speed typically found in cache memory. This is a cache hit.

However, if the CPU incorrect in its educated guess, then it must request the memory content from the RAM memory and wait up to 15 times longer, somewhere in the neighborhood of 60ns. This is referred to a "cache miss.". This "copy" is kept in the cache, and should the CPU modify this, it will modify the cache content only, and leave it to the cache to update the RAM - "write-through".

Cache misses are undesirable, while cache hits are highly desirable; a system that missed 100% of the time would literally run more than 15 times slower than a cache that hit 100% of the time. A cache miss actually increases the processing time above what it would have been without any cache at all because of the extra memory it has to request.

Reduction of cache misses is done by changing the microcode that the CPU uses to "guess" which memory it will need next. These are very sophisticated algorithms that have remained the same for decades. Guessing the next instruction is simple, it is usually the next and for a condition, you can pre-fetch for both results. Data is based on "what you have used lately will be used again". You now have to consider the complexity of the cache memory - this is accessed by content "location"/"address" and return the content. The more you have to search, the slower will the cache be.

The one that write the code can make a huge change. Simply by not use data that is all over the place, but a small set, and reuse this. The other is to minimize "context switches" - execute as much as possible without having to wait for the entire cache to be cleared. Writing code in VBA will be encoded as it is executed, which is a huge overhead compared to defining simple sequences that gets things done. The basics is the same today as those that P.J. Denning and D. Coffman described in "Operating System Theory" in 1978, when they introduced the notion of "Working Set". They describe the reason for why "more" does not always mean "better performance".

What does native resolution refer to?

A "Native Resolution" on a monitor refers to the resolution it is meant to be run at, where the resolution usually matched to being pixel perfect <Meaning information displayed on the screen for the computer matches up to display's pixels perfectly. The computer will put out, for example, a 1280x1024 screen in which the contents of it's desktop or video stream will fit in, and the monitor is able to display this perfectly because that is what the Raster is set too.

Now CRT monitors usually had a maximum resolution it would be able to display and could do smaller resolutions by switching phase without much, if any, loss in quality. This was one of the few advantages of a CRT over and LCD, which can display lower resolution but must resort to "Interpolation" in order to do so.

Interpolation allows the LCD to display a resolution lower then it's native. Such as the monitor above with a 19 inch display and a native resolution of 1280x1024 (4:3 aspect ratio) would be able to show a computer screen at a res of 800x600, but it would look much worse then a LCD of native 800x600 resolution.

So when a monitor says "Native Resolution: 1920x1080" it means that is the resolution your computer should be set too in order to get the best quality.

Hope that helps!
