Input and output ports advantage and disadvantage-computer world

 Input and output ports advantage and disadvantage

Input/output ports

Parallel port : Parallel port is a type of interface found on computers for connecting various peripherals. Data flows through 8 wires simultaneously and transmit 8 bits of data in parallel.
Serial port :  A serial port transmits one bit of data through a single wire.serial port is used to connect plotters, Bar-code reader etc.
Universal serial port(USB) : It is a common and popular external port available with computers.Normally two to four USB ports are available on the computer.
Fire-wire : Hard disk drive and new DVD drives connect through fir-wire. It is an expansive technology used for large data movement.
Advantage of input/output ports : 

  1. Parallel port transmit 8 bit of data in parallel.
  2. Input/output port are used to connect peripheral device to the computer.
  3. A single USB port can support connection of up-to 127 devices.
  4. Input/output are used to connect audio and video multimedia devices to the computer.

Disadvantage of input/output port : 

  1. It require more power.
  2. If too much power is being used by a expanderas of multimedia expanderas, the computer may not start.
  3. Device connected to the port ex pander, such as a flash drive, require too much power and may slow at all.

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...

What is computer and its characteristics-computer world

  What is computer and its characteristics  Computer  :  Computer is an electronic data processing device, which accept and store data input, process the data and generates the output in a required format. computer is made up of integrated  parts (input, control, ALU, storage and output unit) All the part work together to process data so, we can say that a computer is a programmable electronic device accept row data as input and process it with  set of instruction to produce the result as output. Meaning of computer The word "computer" comes from the word "compute" which means to "calculate". The word computer is derived from the Latin word compute which means to calculate. Characteristics of computer Automatic : It is a automatic machine work by itself without human instruction. Speed :  A computer is a very fast devices. It can perform in a few second, the amount of work that a human being can do in an entire year.  Accuracy : In addition t...
