1. The component that displays output

Output device

It is a hardware device which presents the information from inside the computer in a human readable format. The output is displayed on both a visual device like monitor and printers, or on a graphical device like plotter.

Types of monitors include monochrome and colored.

Monochrome monitor use only two colors – one for the screen ( also referred to as background ) and other for the information being displayed ( also referred to as foreground ).

Colored monitors display data using combination of three colors - red, green, and blue. This monitor utilizes red, blue and green phosphors which are placed adjacent to each other.

2. The component that processes data

CPU

The central processing unit or CPU is responsible for processing of the data. The computer program instructs the CPU to perform a given task. It consists of three parts – arithmetic unit to process mathematical computations; control unit to interpret the program instructions; and the instruction decoding unit which converts programs into machine instructions.

3. The component that is used to enter text !

keyboard

Input device is a hardware device which is used by humans to enter data in the computer.

Types of input devices are keyboard, mouse, scanner, joystick and the like.

Humans can interact with computers through the keyboard. It provides the only entry for text input.

Earlier keyboard consist of buttons for alphabets and numerals and special character. Modern keyboards consist of more buttons for shortcut to email. Also, buttons also serve dual purpose of a special key and control volume level when used in combination with other shift key.

4. The component you use to point to items on the screen

mouse

Another input device which is used as pointing device is the mouse.

Mouse is used to point to the screen. Earlier, mouse was connected through a wire to the computer. Modern mouse are non-wired with automatic connection.

How does polling-based network receive work? How is it different than interrupt based network? Describe both functions and list

Alenkasestr [34]

In a polling-based network receives, the operating system keeps checking the status register after a fixed time interval to see whether a device needs hardware attention or not. CPU gradually checks the status of receive bit after a defined time interval of a clock and if the value of receive bit is true then data is moved from the RX register to the memory. In interrupt-based networks, whenever a device needs hardware processing then an interrupt is raised to inform the CPU for device attention. The data of the device is transferred to memory from the network card.

Polling is a protocol, not a hardware mechanism where the device gets attention by CPU. An interrupt is a hardware mechanism, not a protocol where the device gets attention by the interrupt handler. In polling, during receiving, parts of received data need to transfer to memory but in case of interrupts, whole data is transferred at once after receiving is done. An interrupt is a heavy operation as compared to pooling because hardware involves in it. For large amounts of data, Polling becomes an inefficient method. In polling, CPU gradually checks devices at regular intervals whereas the Interrupt handler can send interrupt at any time. Each device has its own Command ready bit which indicates whether the device requires servicing or not. In polling, CPU wastes numerous clock cycles by repetitively checking the command-ready little bit of each device. In Interrupt based network, the interrupt request line indicates whether the device requires servicing or not. In interrupt-based network, CPU cycles not wasted but CPU is disturbed only when device send interrupt signals.

Relative performance between programmed I/O and DMA:

For determining the relative performance between programmed I/O and DMA, important factors are:

1. Size of data

2. Frequency of operations

To use the wireless network in the airport you must pay the daily fee unless you are a subscriber to the service. Express your a

just olya [345]

Answer:

s ----> w V d

Explanation:

s: You are a subscriber to the service

w: You can use the wireless network in the airport

d: You pay the daily fee

From the statement, we can deduce that To use the wireless in the airport, you either have to be a subscriber to the service or you pay the daily fee.

The statement can be written logically as :

If you are a subscriber to the service, then you can use the wireless network in the airport or you can pay the daily fee

it can be written symbolically as:

s --------> w V d
