Volatile storage is lost when a computer loses power.
Explanation:
There are different types of storage in the computer. We have those that stores permanently like the disk while we have those that are very volatile.
The permanent storage retain storage in the event of power failure but volatile storage is lost if there is power failure. Example of volatile storage in the computer is RAM
Volatile storage is lost when a computer loses power.
Explanation:
Volatile storage, is storage that has not been transferred to a more long term form of storage. Volatile storage only retains its content while the system is being powered. This type of storage can be lost if power goes off and this makes evident, the need for care in storing additional data frequently as work is being done on a computer. The most common type of volatile memory in a computer is the random access memory (RAM).
An embedded computer is designed to perform a certain function and it is a component of a larger system.
An embedded computer has a dedicated function within a larger system and is incorporated as a part of a complete system rather than being a stand alone computer.
It is a microprocessor, micro controller based real time control system.
Its a combination of hardware and software that have a dedicated function to achieve a specific task. The also have peripheral devices for communication purposes.
Digital Camera
, ATM, Calculator, Digital Watch
, Self-autonomous Vehicles, Security Camera
, Washing Machine
, Mp3 player, Microwave Oven
, Fire Alarm, Smart Phone,Vending Machines, networking hardware like dedicated routers etc are examples of embedded systems.
Embedded computers are less expensive to produce, consumes less power, easier to maintain, do not require remote maintenance and easily customizable.
