The binary representation of +3997 is 1111 1001 1101.

In one's complement this is simply adding a sign bit and inverting all the bits:

1 0000 0110 0010

The two's complement is the one's complement plus 1:

1 0000 0110 0011

That's 13 bits. Normally the sign bit would be at an 8, 16 or 32,... bit boundary.

For -436 it's 10 0100 1100 and 10 bits

The difference is that a floppy relies on a floppy disk reader to spin its disk, where as a hard drive is a fully enclosed container that has it's reader enclosed as well. A floppy disk is a single plastic film disk, where as a hard disk can have multiple metal disks.

Consider the following protocol for concurrency control. The database system assigns each transaction a unique and strictly incr

nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

(a) yes, this protocol allows only serializable schedules for transactions as due to this the system maintains it's consistency. As in this protocol a unique transaction id is being assigned and with the help of that transaction id the system would be able to identify the process which has taken place in what particular order. For example, in case of bank transfers

balance = 1000 transaction id 100

write ADD 200 transaction id 101

write SUB 1100 transaction id 102

write ADD 900 transaction id 103

in here with the help of transaction id we can check which operation has happened in which order, if not then some operation will not happen like 102 immediately after 100 and skipping 101

(b) the modified version of this protocol would be to also consider the time of transaction and take this factor in the consideration

One friend claims that a dual-core system runs at twice the speed as a single-core system; another friend disagrees by saying th

lidiya [134]

Answer:

the first friend

Explanation:

It is important to remember that a core is the brain of the CPU (central processing unit), which means one who has a dual-core is having "a dual brain" to process information faster.

Consider also, IT experts often acknowledge that in terms of speed of execution, it is proven that, "dual-core systems" are faster (even twice faster) than a "single-core system". The other friends were wrong because they disagreed with a widely accepted fact that dual-core is faster than single-core; and of course, we know that without them being faster they can't run twice the applications and twice the data.

Therefore, we can make the conclusion that the first friend's response is correct.
