Why would you want to retension a backup tape?

an overstreched tape may record fine, but it may not restore or read very well. As a rule, it is a good idea to retension a tape before using it. After prolonged use of a tape at the beginning the tape will become tight on one end and loose on the other. Retensioning will correct this problem. Also like audio tapes (music) the more you use them the more they stretch, this can ruin the preformat on the tape.

What socket has pins aligned in uniform rows around the socket?

I believe if you are talking about older, tube electronics, what you have in mind is a Loctal socket. these were made for tube-era equipment of the standard miniature type, an Octal ( octo meaning eight) had eight elements- loctal meant ( Locked, or maybe Localized) octal. the sockets had eight points but were arranged so tubes having say five points ( Pentodes) or Heptodes ( 7) could be plugged in in sort of a one-size=fits all uniform arrangment. as one can guess this service advantage made sense to the armed forces- quick substitutions could be made in the field- or at or under the sea- ( Submarines favored tube equipment for this reason) spares could be changed during lengthy underwater patrols when of necessity- the sub was observing radio silence! one door closes, another opens. that is the most logical explanation. why don"t you get some of the early Tube related stuff from the Lindsay catalog- they aim at historical hobbyists! Oddly this was NOT called a Universal socket- maybe the movie company ( Universal pictures) complained.

What is a basic definition of cache memory on a computer?

A cache is a place to store recently used data. The cache is comprised of faster memory than the memory it caches. The philosophy is that memory that is used is more apt to be used again, so the memory is stored in cache using a most recently used algorithm. This results in faster performance.

Which osi model layer generates and detects voltage so as transmit and receive signals carrying data?

What are advantages of the Spiral Model?

Advantages

1. Estimates (i.e. budget, schedule, etc.) become more realistic as work progresses, because important issues are discovered earlier.

2. It is more able to cope with the (nearly inevitable) changes that software development generally entails.

3. Software engineers (who can get restless with protracted design processes) can get their hands in and start working on a project earlier.

What terminal is capable of processing data?

A terminal is a text-based interface for interacting with a computer. It is a program that allows you to enter commands and execute them, as well as view and manipulate the data on your computer. Many different types of terminals are available, including those that come with operating systems such as Linux, MacOS, and Windows, as well as third-party terminals such as PuTTY and HyperTerminal. These terminals can be used to process data in various ways, such as by running programs and scripts, manipulating and organizing files, and accessing and manipulating databases.

Is a terabyte bigger than a gigabyte?

7Smallest unit in computers language is bit. 8 Bit = 1 byte, 1024 bytes= 1 kilobytes, 1024 kilobytes = 1 megabytes , 1024 megabytes = 1 gigabytes , 1024 gigabytes = 1 Terabyte. So clearly terabyte is way too larger than megabyte.

Is 10 MB more than 1.5 GB?

== == Actually, 1 gigabyte should be 1,024 megabytes. But either way, the previous answers stand. Not nearly as big.

no.

no 1GB is 1,000MB. 1.5GB equates to 1500MB, which is much more than 10MB. So no, it isn't anywhere near as big.

What is the difference between physical memory and logical memory?

Look at it this way,

Say a application needs something computed by the CPU. That application says to the CPU, "I'm going to send you 500 pieces of data, so I need a space in the memory that is 500 pieces of data big." So the CPU takes a look at the memory. Initially there is room for 10,000 pieces of data, but because there are other processes already running the first 1 - 2,000 pieces are already taken up. The CPU says to himself from piece 2,000 to 2,500 is were all new data is going to go.

The physical memory is the address from 2,000 to 2,500.

Now the application doesn't realize that there are other processes that the CPU is taking care of. All it sees is the data 1- 500 pieces stored in the memory. This is logical memory.

When the application wants to run a piece of data of the 1-500, its says to the CPU run the piece 130. In reality 130 is not even a space in the memory that the CPU has set out for the application. Because remember it was originally 2,000-2500 that was set aside for the application. Piece 130 according to the applications logical memory is in reality piece 2130 in the physical memory. So when the CPU is receiving instructions from the application it has to translate the logical memory in to the physical memory and then back into the logical when replying to the application.
