What is Parallel Programming?

when two independent processes take place at the same time. this is either done by virtual threading ( whareby each process or thread is assigned acces to resources for a fraction of the available time, then either volounteers or is forced to relinquish resources to another process for another fraction) or multi core processing, whareby 2 or more compleatly independent processsors handle diffrent processes simutaniously.

How much gigabytes equal to 1TB?

Ok So the industries is 1,000 GB equals to 1TB

But In real computer term a gb is actually 1024mb

so 1024*1000= 1024000= 1tb

Where is cache memory located?

Cache memory is built into the central processing unit, commonly known in short as the CPU, or it can be located on a separate chip next to the CPU.

In other sense, cache is located between CPU and Main Memory in the memory hierarchy of a computer system.

just type allinurl:cache memory, in google search and you will find your answer with more pictures and a lot more about cache memory.

Is 25.1 KB larger than 1 MB?

Yes. There are 1000 KB in 1 MB, so 16 MB is 16 000 KB.

Note! This is only approx calculations. It's actually 1024 KB in 1 MB, but that's not necessary for the calculations in this case.

Is 500 MB a lot?

Well 500 Megabytes(MB) is roughly half of one Gigabyte(GB). so depending on how much space your computer hard drive holds will determine your definition of "a lot".

this is the official measurement posted by Google....

1 gigabyte = 1024 megabytes .

Most modern domestic computers have hundreds of gigabytes of memory - in that context 500 MB is not a lot.

Should you delete system32 to speed up your computer?

NO, system 32 is your computer's operating system. if you delete your system 32, you might as well buy another computer.

Difference of cache memory and normal memory?

A cache memory is a component that stores data so that future requests for that data can be served faster. The data that is stored within a cache might be values that have been computed earlier or duplicates of original values that are stored elsewhere.

Primary memory (often referred to simply as memory) is the only one directly accessible to the CPU. The CPU continuously reads instructions stored there and executes them as required. Any data actively operated on is also stored there in uniform manner. RAM is one commonly used primary memory.

What is resolution in computer graphics?

The resolution of an image in computer graphics refers to the pixel density of said image. For instance, older monitors used 800x600 often times. This means that for every 4 pixels in the horizontal direction, there are 3 in the vertical. This is where the aspect ratio comes from, which for an 800x600 resolution, is 4:3. The higher the value of the resolution, the more pixels there are per area of the image or screen, which means that there is more potential for fine detail, and on most systems means a crisper image. If you want to read more, check out the Wikipedia entry about display resolutions:

What does cam stand for?

What does cam stand for in technology is

Cam can mean many things such as camera, computer aided manufacturing, camcorder, camouflage, cell adhesion molecule or certified apartment manager.

* Added - CAM is used in engineering and manufacturing technologies to refer to Computer Aided Manufacturing, or, Modeling and is often teamed with CAD, for Computer Aided Design. CAD CAM is the typical technology today for developing a new product and takes it from an idea to a product or product component very quickly.

What does de stand for at the end of a URL?

Deutschland. When you see "de", that means the web site is hosted by a German service provider.

What are Limitations of cache Memory?

size. cache memory is situated on the CPU, and stores recently used data, in case the CPU needs again soon. cache memory is many, many times faster than RAM, just RAM is much faster than the HD.

What is the main advantage of the Asynchronous bus over synchronous bus?

As far as I can tell, an asynchronous bus is generally considered slower in performance to a synchronous one. However, it has two useful advantages:

* An asynchronous bus allows a device to send or receive data payloads which are of varying sizes. Compare an internal bus, such as PCI, where two devices exchange data in blocks of 32 or 64 bits per clock cycle, and an asynchronous bus, such as USB 2.0, where two devices exchange data packets of up to 1024 bytes.

* As it is not bound by a clock cycle, an asynchronous bus allows a relatively slow input/output device to communicate at its own speed - that is, to take its time to find, read and prepare the information it needs to send, or to store the information received and prepare itself for the next incoming portion. When those two are taken into account, an assumption can be made that an asynchronous bus implementation would not require as high precision as a synchronous one to achieve stable, reliable transfers, although I'm not sure if this is actually true.

Hope I am correct and this helps.

Is data different from information?

yes Sorry, I must disagree. DATA is simply a known quantity or quality of something. Examples are RED, 14, and Kalamazoo. Information is what you have when you examing a piece of data in context, or assemble enough data to arrive at a conclusion. The answer to the question, "What is one of the primary colors?" is RED - that whole structure, the question (context) and the answer (RED) are INFORMATION. It is a subtle, yet important difference. DATA is meaningless without context. Information (to a certain extent) is meaningless without Knowledge (what to DO with that information.)

What is CPU utilization?

processor utilization is the average fraction of time during which the processor is busy, we mean that the processor is either executing the user processes or operating system processes. processor utilization is generally measured by using a NULL process that runs when no other process is running. process utilization should range from 40% to 90%.

How many typed words in 1 megabyte?

1 megabyte = 1,048,576 bytes
1 word = 2 bytes
1,048,576 / 2 = 524,288

524,288 words make one megabyte

What is the difference between a CD and a CD-Recordable?

A normal CD can have information recorded onto it once only. A CD Recordable can have information added to it after the original recording has been made

Which two statements describe the FTP protocol?

The FTP client initiates the transfer of data when using a passive data connection.

It requires two connections between client and server.

How do you shoop da whoop?

In the following order, you:- # Charge yah lazar. # Say The following words in a deep growling voice "IMMA FIRIN MAH LAZAAAAA!!!!" # Open Your mouth. # Say "BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!" And a MASSIVE LAZAR should annhialate anything in your path! # Enjoy the feeling of killing those you hate. # Have lulz

Why 160 gb hdd does not show full space after formatting?

You cannot because it's caused by the difference between systems based on 8 (which hard drive manufactures are using) and 10 (which we use everyday). It's a sort of commercial trick.
