Process's hierarchy in operating system-computer world

Process's hierarchy in operating system-computer world

Process's hierarchy : 

In operating system process are arranged in a hierarchical manner. Some process are controlling some another process these process are called parent process. In other word we can say that modern operating system are used to create or destroyed process. The creating process is known as parent process and the new process are called child process. A parent process have many child process but the child process has only one parent process. 

Hierarchical structure :
The operating system is designed in a manner that a parent process has the block of a child process each child is ultimately under the full control of parent process and this structure is called the hierarchical structure of the process existing in a system.  
 Modern general purpose operating system permit a user to create and destroy processes
  1.  In Unix this is done by the the fork system call.
  2.  After a fork both parent and child keep running and each can fork of other process.
  3. The root of the tree is a special process created by the operating system.

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.  ...
