State why strict non-preemptive scheduling is unlikely to be used in a computer centre?

Once the CPU has been allocated to a process, the process keeps the CPU until it releases the CPU either by terminating or by switching to the waiting state. In a general purpose computer system, users share the CPU and care about system responsiveness. If the system uses non-preemptive scheduling, some users may sit before the monitor for several hours without doing anything other than waiting for the set of processes in front of them in the system queue to finish. So, strictly non-preemptive scheduling is unlikely to be used in a general purpose computer system.

Why is the CPU considered like the brain of computer?

The CPU is also called the Central Processing Unit, which is exactly what it does. It runs all of the processes for every little program running on your computer. It decides which system resources go to which program, and closes and opens programs. Without a CPU, the computer is useless, as it even controls the Operating System. You can view the CPU's current processes by open your Task Manager. To do this is different on different operating systems, so you will need to look that up on Google.

Hi guys, sorry this isn't the answer, it's my question but i thought i'd put a bit more info on it to help anyone work out the problem.

I have a Dell Inspiron 640m laptop, it's pretty old but works okay and recently it won't go past a blue screen that appears saying:

A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screem appears again follow these steps:

Disable or uninstall any anti virus, disk defragmentation or backup utilities. Check you hard drive configuration, and check for any updated drivers. Run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption, and then restart your computer.

Technical information:

*** STOP: 0x00000024 (0x00190203, 0x82EE52C0, 0x0000102, 0x00000000)

Researching Different Laptop Computers on Sale?

Locating computers for sale is not difficult in this day and age. More than a handful of models are available at any given time - new and used. With that in mind, an individual should be able to find something within their price range. A small fortune is not required to purchase a laptop or desktop computer that will get the job done. Millions of people own these machines nowadays, so they could not be easier to find. However, making a decision on any particular option is not as simple.

A potential buyer must first figure out what type of computer they are going to need. Obviously, these devices are designed to do different things. For instance, one machine might be optimized for gaming with a great video and graphics card. Another one might be more suitable for business applications with better security features and whatnot. No computers are completely identical under the surface. In any case, the chances of buying the right device increase once a person figures out exactly what they require.

From there, it is wise to look at a few models of computers for sale at a local store or online. Failure to do some basic research can lead to plenty of problems later on. Visiting an electronics store allows someone to test out the models that they are taking into consideration. Undoubtedly, this is the best course of action to take so that an individual can wind up with the right computer. Nobody wants to purchase the wrong thing and regret it later on. In reality, that is exactly what will happen for those that do not take enough time.

In the end, it could not be any easier to find computers for sale. That does not mean that a person should take the whole process lightly. Research and caution are necessary to end up with the best buy possible. Sadly, too many people rush through the process and end up with a machine that does not suit their needs or tastes. Of course, that is a completely avoidable outcome. All a person needs to do is tread carefully and consider every variable.
