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...

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.  ...

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...
