Definition of computer ports and types of ports-computer world

 Definition of computer ports and types of ports

What is the definition of Ports : 

A port is a physical docking point using which an external device can be connected to the computer. It is important because information flows from a program to the computer or over the intern ate.  A port is a interface between the computer and other computers or peripheral devices. Two types of computer are used in the computers which are known as internal port and external port. 

Internal ports are connects to the internal devices such as  hard drives, DVD drives. External port are connect to the external devices such as modem, printers and many other external devices.

Characteristics of ports : A port has the following characteristics 

  1. External devices are connected to a computer using cables and ports.
  2. Ports are interface between external device as well as a computer.
Types of computer ports :
  1. PS/2 port
  2. VGA port
  3. Modem port
  4. Ethernet port
  5. HDMI port
PS/2 port : PS/2 port is stands for personal system/2 it is also known as the mouse port or keyboard port . It is used to connect mouse or keyboard to motherboard and it is developed by IBM.

VGA port(Video Graphics Array (adapter) ) : VGA port is used to connect monitor to a computer motherboard. It is also use to connect projector and Television sets. 

Modem port : Modem port is also known as phone connector, phone jack or phone jack. It is used to connect a computer modem to the telephone network.    

Ethernet port : Ethernet port is used to to connects the network cable to a computer and we can say that it used to connect to a network and high speed inter networking.
Ethernet port is also known as network connection port, LAN port and network port.

HDMI port (High definition multi) : The HDMI technology is used with devices such as projectors and DVD player. A single HDMI port replace the three composite audio/video cables, making it easier to connect two devices together for transmitting audio and video signals.

Single partition allocation, Multiple-partition allocation and Fixed Equal-size partitions in operating system-computer world

  Single partition allocation, Multiple-partition allocation and Fixed Equal-size partitions in operating system Single partition allocation In this scheme operating system is residing in law memory and user process are executing in higher memory. Advantages It is simple  It is easy to understand and use Disadvantages User job is limited to the size of available memory. It leads to poor Utilization of processor and memory. Multiple-partition allocation  It is the simplest method for allocating  memory is divided memory into several fixed size partitions. Fixed Equal-size partitions It divides the main memory Into equal number of fixed sized partitions, operating system occupies some fixed portion and remaining portion of main memory is available for user processes. Advantages It supports multi programming. A process whose size is less then or equal to the partitions size can be loaded into any available partition. Disadvantages If a program is big to fit in...

Difference between HTML and DHTML-computer world

     Difference between HTML and DHTML  HTML is a markup language, while DHTML is a collection of Technology.  DHTML creates dynamic web page, whereas HTML create static web page.  DHTML allow including small animations and dynamic menus in web pages but HTML is not able to do so.   HTML used events, methods, properties to insulate dynamism in HTML pages.   HTML is used to describe the web page but DHTML is a collection of JavaScript and style sheet in an HTML page.

Whereas,  DHTML creates a page with HTML, CSS,DOM And scripts called as DHTML.  HTML cannot any server side code but XHTML may contain server side code.  ...

Distributed transaction model-oocomputerworld

  Distributed transaction model Distributed transaction model:- To access the various data items in a distributed system is usually e accomplished through transaction there are two type of transaction that we need to consider The local transaction The Global transaction    The local transaction:- The local transaction are those that access and update data is only one local database.  The global transaction:- global transaction are those that access and update data in several local database in the case of global transaction the task is more complicated since several nodes may be participating in execution the failure of a communication link connecting these nodes may result in erroneous computation.  System structure :- Each node has its oven local transaction manager whose function is to ensure those transaction that execute at that site. The various transaction manager corporate to execute global transaction. To understand how such a manager can be impl...
