Memory in computer (primary, secondary and cache memory)-computer world

 Memory : A memory just like a human brain.It is used to store data and instructions. Computer memory is the storage space in the computer, where data is to be processed and instruction  required processing are stored. Computer memory is classified into following types :

1. Cache memory : Cache memory is a very high speed semiconductor memory which can speed up the CPU. It act as buffer(small storage are ) Between the CPU and main memory. We can say that it is a high speed memory between CPU and RAM and it is used temporary store very active data and instruction during processing. 

2. Primary memory : Primary holds only that data and instruction on which the computer is currently working. Data holds by primary memory is lost when power is switched of. Primary is not fast as resisters.

Primary is divided into two subcategory's :

1. RAM(Random access memory) : Random access memory is a form of computer memory that can be read and change in any any order typically used to store working data and machine code.

2. ROM(Read only memory) : the memory from which we can only read but can not write on it this type of memory is non-volatile. Then information is stored permanently in such memory during manufacture. A ROM stores such information that are required to start a computer .Rom chip are not only used in computer but also in other electronic items washing machine, microwave oven storing data permanently into this this kind of memory is called "burning the data" because in such memory is stored by using fuse link.    

3. Secondary memory : Secondary memory store large amount of data permanently and this type of memory is also known as external memory or non volatile memory. The con taint of secondary memory are first transferred to the main memory and then the CPU can access it secondary storage memory divided into following types :

1. Sequential access memory : In-formations on a sequential access device can be retrieved in the same sequence only in which it is store.  

2. Direct access memory : Direct access memory is also known as random access device because out of all the information stored, any randomly piece of information can be accessed immediately.

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...

Aggregation and Functional dependency in DBMS-computer world

  Aggregation and  Functional dependency in  DBMS Aggregation  In aggregation the relation between two entities is treated as a single entity. In aggregation relationship with its corresponding entity is aggregated into higher level entity . It is the process of compiling information on object, there by obstructing a higher level. On limitation of the ER model is that it can not Express relationship among relationships. The aggregation represent a relationship between a whole object and its component in other word we can say that using aggregation we can express relationship main relationships.  For example center entity offer the course entity act as a single entity in the relationship which is in a relationship with another entity visitor. In the real world if a visitor visits a coaching center they will never inquiry about the course or just about the center instead he will ask the inquiry about both. Functional dependency  Functional dependency play an ...

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. HTML sites will be show upon client side Technologies, while  DHTML site will be fast enough upon client side Technologies as most of entries are checked on browser itself and not waste time rendering to server for mistake.  HTML creates a plain web page without any style and scripts called as HTML. 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.  ...
