Mac OSX is the operation system of a mac. it is necessary because the OS is the GUI (graphic user interface) which makes all the programs run in individual windows and the Dock and all that good stuff. also, all the programs run within the OS so without the OS there is pretty much nothing the computer can do except start up and go DONNNNNGGGG.
One of the best free operating systems is Linux. It does pretty much everything Windows can do, but there is no cost to own and operate it.
How do you change the boot sequence on Macbook Air?
There is no way. Since there are no extraneous or third-parties in an Apple device, there aren't many parts to the sequence.
An application server permits a large number of users to execute applications using a minimum of system resources. An application server can be extended to allow coordinated transactions to be invoked from applications executed by the application server. This transaction coordination is generally known as a Transaction Processing (TP) monitor. A TP monitor works in conjunction with an application server.
A transaction can be thought of as a routine event, usually a request for service, in running the day-to-day operations of an organization. The orderly processing of transactions is the type of work for which TP monitors were designed.
Transaction processing
Every organization has rules and procedures that describe how it is supposed to operate. The user applications which implement these rules can be called business logic. The transactions these business applications execute are often referred to as Transaction Processing or Online Transaction Processing (OLTP).
The key characteristics of commercial OLTP are:
Many Users
It is common for transaction processing to be used by the majority of the people in an organization, since so many people affect the current state of the business.
Repetitive
Most interactions with the computer tend to be the same process executed over and over again. For example, entering an order or processing payments are used many times every day.
Short Interactions
Most interactions that people in the organization have with the transaction processing system are short in duration.
Shared Data
Since data represents the state of the organization, there can only be a single copy of the data.
Data Integrity
The data must represent the current state of the organization, and must be internally consistent. For example, every order must be associated with a customer record.
What is the role of operating system software?
The operating system is the software that directly controls the computer and other hardware, providing support services to other software, such as applications. Applications are what most people work with most of the time, and include word processors, spreadsheets, Internet software, games, and so on.
Examples of operating systems on small computers include various versions of DOS, the Macintosh OS, and Windows. Some operating systems are designed for specific computers. Others, such as UNIX and LINUX, are designed to provide a generalized interface for many types of computers.
What is the best operating system for Science?
That really depends upon the application. It seems that biologists tend to prefer the Windows operating system. People are familiar with it, and some of the genome projects make use of databases that execute in windows. Linux is a fast, robust operating system many people are familiar with that is probably more at home in physics laboratories, where heavy modelling is done. Some simulations are still performed on big mainframe computers that run proprietary operating systems, such as might be used in simulating a supernova or the motion of arms in a radial galaxy, or a nuclear explosion, or weather patterns. I am a big fan of Linux. It is lightning fast, and there are very few viruses tailored to exploit it.
What are three different network operating system certificates?
There are many NOS certifications depending on the operating system you wish to be certified for. Some of these include:
full-scale exercise
operating system
When was the first OS developed?
The world's first computer operating system (GM-NAA I/O) was implemented at the General Motors Research Labs in Warren, Michigan in 1955.
Where can I get directions to install a Ansul suppression system?
ANSUL systems should only be designed, installed and maintained by ANSUL authorised distributors as they are very design specific.
OpenVMS is a server operating system developed by Hewlett-Packard.
How do you know which operating system is installed on your PC?
first of all. you can usually tell by what kind of computer you have. if you have a PC, it most likely utilizes the Windows operating system. if you have an apple mac, its probably going to have the mac OS X operating system. or when you boot up your computer, it will usually tell you.
What is the meaning of 'resident monitor ' in an operating system?
it is piece of software that is use in early(1950-70) in genral computer in punch cards.
when the a program want to be executed in genral computer then insert a punch card and give the instruction of initial storage by pressing the button, after that the program was executed.
What are the capabilities of an operating system?
There are seven main capabilities of an operating system:
What is a single-tasking operating system?
As the name suggests, a single tasking operating system is designed to only allow one program to be run at a time. Most modern operating systems now employ multi-tasking in order to run programs concurrently.
Process management in operating system?
This question cannot be answered the way it is written. Please rephrase and resubmit your question so it can be answered.
What is thread in operating system?
A thread is in fact just that, a thread. Something simple. A simple chain of computing that is set up as in 'a row'. A chain of commands that can be useful to the programmers needs. Sometimes the programmers can actually control the flow of events that take place, but most commonly that is up to the programming language to do it for him.
Most useful is the 'multichannel' programming threads, that are distributed along different paths to be gathered up in the end. Each thread can then be processed independently of each other in a multiprocessor environment. Therefore these 'threads' can be assembled (sometimes) and put forrward to the user at a higher speed tha otherwise possible.
Every operating system has two main internal components The?
The two main components of an operating system are the kernel and the applications. The kernel maintains basic control over the computer's hardware. The kernel contains the CPU, memory and devices. Applications include the network, the user interface and security.
Define different types of system calls?
Types of System Calls
The main types of system calls are as follows:
Process Control: These types of system calls are used to control the processes. Some examples are end, abort, load, execute, create process, terminate process etc.
File Management: These types of system calls are used to manage files. Some examples are Create file, delete file, open, close, read, write etc.
Device Management: These types of system calls are used to manage devices. Some examples are Request device, release device, read, write, get device attributes etc.
Information Maintenance: These types of system calls are used to set system data and get process information. Some examples are time, OS parameters, id, time used etc.
Communications: These types of system calls are used to establish a connection. Some examples are send message, received messages, terminate etc
