Alex Ar [27]3 years ago

The correct answer is C. Anti-virus software is set to scan your computer weekly.

Explanation:

In technology, anti-virus software aims at identifying and stopping the actions of viruses that spread in the host and alter normal functioning leading to issues in cybersecurity or damages in the software of a technological device. Additionally, for anti-virus software to be effective, the software needs to be updated, perform routine scans daily or almost daily and scan all elements download. This implies, if the anti-virus software is set to scan your computer weekly this might not prevent a computer virus because a virus can infect your computer and be unnoticed for several days. Thus, the one that is least effective at preventing computer virus is "Anti-virus software is set to scan your computer weekly".

Consider a pipelined processor with just one level of cache. assume that in the absence of memory delays, the baseline cpi of th
babunello [35]

Alternative 1:A small D-cache with a hit rate of 94% and a hit access time of 1 cycle (assume that no additional cycles on top of the baseline CPI are added to the execution on a cache hit in this case).Alternative 2: A larger D-cache with a hit rate of 98% and the hit access time of 2 cycles (assume that every memory instruction that hits into the cache adds one additional cycle on top of the baseline CPI). a)[10%] Estimate the CPI metric for both of these designs and determine which of these two designsprovides better performance. Explain your answers!CPI = # Cycles / # InsnLet X = # InsnCPI = # Cycles / XAlternative 1:# Cycles = 0.50*X*2 + 0.50*X(0.94*2 + 0.06*150)CPI= 0.50*X*2 + 0.50*X(0.94*2 + 0.06*150) / X1= X(0.50*2 + 0.50(0.94*2 + 0.06*150) ) / X= 0.50*2 + 0.50(0.94*2 + 0.06*150)= 6.44Alternative 2:# Cycles = 0.50*X*2 + 0.50*X(0.98*(2+1) + 0.02*150)CPI= 0.50*X*2 + 0.50*X(0.98*(2+1) + 0.02*150) / X2= X(0.50*2 + 0.50(0.98*(2+1) + 0.02*150)) / X= 0.50*2 + 0.50(0.98*(2+1) + 0.02*150)= 3.97Alternative 2 has a lower CPI, therefore Alternative 2 provides better performance.

What type of socket should be used with an air impact wrench
Vikentia [17]
<span>Black sockets should be used, but the color is not the reason why. Chrome sockets will cause splits to form in the socket walls pretty quickly, after only a few uses. But the black sockets are that color because they have gone through a process called Parkerizing that coats the surface of the socket in order to provide more resistance when being used and protect the socket against corrosion.</span>

By what decade were books readily available to the public across the United States and Europe? A. 1690 B. 1750 C. 1860 D. 1820
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer: 1820

Explanation:

I <u>believe</u> the answer is the 1820, as the introduction of steam powered printing presses and steam powered paper mills significantly lowered the cost of books to decrease and significantly increased their circulation/availability.

hope this  helps
