4 elements of data processing systems?
A system, including computer system and associated personnel, that performs input, processing storage, output and control functions to accomplish a sequence on data.
long-term memory
Which file system is specially design to provide more security?
Generally, you are referring to the class of Filesystems known as Cryptographic file systems. A crypto filesystem uses a symmetric algorithm to encode the contents of disk; it requires a special key to be able to use.
Several common filesystems now support a Cryptographic mode.
What is bigger than 1 terabyte?
- 8 Bits = 1 Byte
- 1024 Bytes = 1 Kilobyte
- 1024 Kilobytes = 1 Megabyte
- 1024 Megabytes = 1 Gigabyte
- 1024 Gigabytes = 1 Terabyte
- 1024 Terabytes = 1 Petabyte
- 1024 Petabytes = 1 Exabyte - In 2000, 3 exabytes of information was created
- 1024 Exabytes = 1 Zettabyte
- 1024 Zettabyte = 1 Zottabyte
- 1024 Zottabyte = 1 Brontobyte - that is a 1 followed by 27 zeroes
all computing memory is in base 2
What does enable mean in computer language?
Enabling cookies on your browser allows that site to save data onto your computer's web browser program, usually for bits of information that the site might need to remember later (e.g. automatically logging in when you return to that site).
How do you get 8GB equals how many MB?
I think you are meaning to ask how to add 8GB of RAM to your computer. Based on that assumption, I will tell you that the easiest way to do that is to just buy a stick of RAM and put it in the appropriate slot. If you already have one stick of 4GB, then you need to get another 4GB stick and you will have a total of 8GB.
You need to make sure that you get the right type of RAM for your machine as there are various standards available as well as different speeds. The most commonly used RAM today is DDR3 running at 1600MHz, commonly condensed to DDR3-1600 or can also be called PC3-12800. PC3 and DDR3 refer to the same thing. The only thing you need to do to convert between the two is either multiply the DDR3 speed by 8 or divide the PC3 speed by 8.
You also need to get the right style of RAM because laptops and desktops use different styles. The ones for desktops are long and narrow while the ones for laptops are shorter and fatter. If you are spending the money on RAM, you definitely want to get the right thing, after all.

Standalone software is any software that can run alone, without the support of or needing to interact with other software.
In the simplest case, software is either classified as standalone or part of a package of interacting software components. Examples in this case standalone software might be a simple text editor vs. a package of interacting software might be Microsoft Office (i.e. Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Access, etc.) or a suite of tightly coupled distributed software running on different computers that interact over a network. Obviously in this case the standalone software is obviously still dependant on support from the operating system, installed I/O drivers, etc. for operation.
In the extreme case, standalone software can run on a computer without an operating system. Diagnostic test software is frequently written as standalone software that runs without an operating system so that it has full control of the hardware being tested at all times.
Between these cases there is a wide spectrum of things that can be called standalone software, depending on the degree of support needed from other software running on the computer.
Is megabyte is equivalent to one character?
Yes. The standard definition is now 10^6 bytes. Historically, it could have represented 1,048,576 bytes (2^20 bytes), a value now defined as a mebibyte (million-binary byte).
you use your hand to go up and down on the rod which can get slimmy
Ftp is a file transfer protocol use with TCP/IP Protocol to transfer files directly to a server through the internet.
What is cache hit and cache miss?
Type your answer here... in cache memory when the CPU refer to the memory and find the word in cache it is said to be hit or produced.......
if the word is not found in cache it is in main memory it counts as a miss
Without more specific information, this is a difficult question to answer. Extracting a file refers to the process of taking it out of a compressed format (*.zip, *.rar, *.tar, etc.) and placing it in a new folder by itself (or, more likely, as a group of files).
For example, the terminal command
tar -xvf filename.tar
would unpack/extract the file "filename.tar"
When you want to extract file, use b1 free of charge archiver
What is difference between an Excel XLR and XLS file?
The xlsx file extensions are from Excel 2007 whereas xls is used in the earlier versions of Excel.
Thanks
Because there are so many of them
Because they don't ask for your permission before they send it.
Because they won't stop.
and most of all :
Because they often contain malwares like virus, trojans... etc.
There 3072 KB in 3 MB. One megabyte is equal to 1024 kilobytes. Thus, 1024 * 3 = 3072.
It's worth noting that there is a difference between "KB" and "kb". The acronym "kb" is short for kilobites, while KB is short for kilobytes. There are 8 bits in one byte. In computer science, these two terms are used to measure information.
One kilobyte equal approximate how much memory locations?
The answer to this question depends on two key factors, the definition of a kilobyte, and that of a memory location:
First, is kilobyte meant in the standard engineering meaning of a multiplier of one thousand, or is it mean to represent a factor of 210, commonly known as a kilobyte, but more correctly called a kibibyte?
Thus, one kilobyte can mean 1000 bytes, or 1024 bytes.
Second, what is a memory location? Most memory types have a bitwise organization, so 1000 or 1028 bytes would refer to 8000 or 8196 bits, respectively, and refer to 8000 or 8196 memory locations thus.
Other implementations of memories may implement a different granularity, for example based on 16, 24, 32 or even larger number of bits per location.
What is the difference between distributed and parallel processing operating system?
1) Distributed Operating systems are also referred to as Loosely Coupled systems whereas parallel processin g systems are referred to as tightly coupled systems.
2) A Loosley coupled system is one in which the processors do not share memory and each processor has its own local memory whereas in a tightly coupled system there is a single systemwide primary memory shared by all the processors.
3) The processors of distributed operating systems can be placed far away from each other to cover a wider geographic area which is not the case with parallel processing systems.
4) The no. of processors that can be usefully deployed is very small in a parallel processing operating system whereas for a ditributed operating system a larger no. of processors can be usefully deployed.......
5)globle clock is used for controlling simd n mimd in parallel..... .in distributed no any global colck present in this synchronization algorithms are used
6)in the distributed operating system there is an unpredictable communication delays between processors whereas the processors in the parallel processing system share over an interconnection network
What are the different levels of information systems?
When developing an information management strategy within an organisation, it is useful to consider information needs on three levels:
corporate
team, division, business unit, etc
individual
The needs of each of these three levels must be met if a coordinated and effective solution is to be maintained in the long-term.
Failure to address any one of the levels will lead to areas of the business or individuals finding their own solution, which may not fit well within the strategic goals of the organisation.
These are not new ideas, but they will be explored in the context of intranets and other corporate information systems.
Corporate
At the top is the corporate information that is useful for the whole organisation. This 'global' information is generally fairly well addressed by the corporate intranet (even if the intranet itself needs improvement).
Examples of corporate information include policies and procedures, HR information, online forms, phone directory, etc.
Interestingly, there may be a limited amount of truly global information, and it may not deliver the greatest (measurable) business benefits.
Team, division, business unit
The middle level is perhaps the most interesting, as it covers all the information shared within teams, divisions, business units, etc. This information may be critical to the day-to-day activities of the group, but of little interest to the rest of the organisation.
Examples include project documentation, business unit specific content, meeting minutes, etc.
This level is generally poorly-served within organisations, although collaboration tools are increasingly being used to address team information needs. It is also being recognised that it is this 'local' information that may be the most valuable, in terms of driving the day-to-day activity of the organisation.
Individual
At the lowest level is the personal information needs of staff throughout the organisation. Examples include correspondence (both internal and external), reports and spreadsheets.
In most organisations, staff must struggle with using e-mail to meet their information management needs. While staff generally recognise the inadequacy of e-mail, they have few other approaches or technologies at their disposal.
Note that some organisations (such as consulting firms) are heavily dependent on personal information management amongst their staff.
Managing the levels
When managing the information within each of the three levels, consider the following:
An information management solution must be provided for staff at each of the three levels.
If corporate solutions aren't provided, then staff will find their own solutions. This is the source of poor-quality intranet sub-sites, and other undesirable approaches.
A clear policy must be developed, outlining when each of the three levels applies, and how information should be managed within each level.
Processes must be put in place to 'bubble up' or 'promote' information from lower levels up to higher levels. For example, some team-generated information will be critical for the whole organisation.
As much as possible, a seamless information management environment should be delivered that covers all three levels.
An obvious or self evident statement of value?
There are many statements of value that are obvious or self evident in nature. One such statement is that if you want people to be nice to you have to be nice to them.
SIMM (Single Inline Memory Module), is a form of RAM (Random Access Memory) It is a ram chip with memory chips on one side. A DIMM (Dual Inline Memory Module) is like a SIMM, but has memory chips on both sides.
i think you mean 256 mb as this is a quarter of a gigabyte so there would be 4 lots of 256mb in a gigabyte as a gigabyte is 1024 mb
