How many waiting processes can a single processor have?
1 process at most is running. 1 process or multiple are ready. 1 process or multiple are waiting.
Basic requirements for the execution of concurrent processes?
In a single-processor multiprogramming system, processes are interleaved in time to yield the appearance of simultaneous execution
What is the difference between concurrent processing and simultaneous processing. A single processor can execute two processes concurrently but not simultaneously Why?
Single processor can execute 2 process concurrently means when one is doing i/o activity at tht time another is executing.. but not possible tht both are executing cpu at same time
Splitting a single processor into multiple virtual machines is called what?
hardware - based virtualization
2GHZ dual core processor or 3GHZ celeron processor?
Dual core. Since it is dual core, it can do 2 processes at once, making it similar to a 4GHz single core
What is main difference between hyper threading processors normal processor?
Hyper threading processors simulate a dual core processor with only a single core. Technically you are still running a single core processor, but multiple tasks can be run more efficiently..
What is the definition of a core duo?
A dual core processor, or core duo, is a single integrated circuit with two processors. Each processor performs independently, however, they are linked and thus processes can be performed up to twice as quickly as by one processor alone.
Why it is not possible to directly transmit multiple telephone conversation over a single line simultaneousely?
It is possible, whether digital or whether analogic.
What do you mean by real and pseudo-parallelism?
Pseudo-parallelism is the parallelism effect where a single processor creates a illusion of parallel processing by switching processes(or context) at very small intervals such that it is unnoticable to the user. This creates the effect that multiple processes(threads or programs) are running simultaneously. What actually happens is, each process is given a finite time(very small) and the process executes its instruction during this period. At the end of this period, context switching occurs and the Operating System allocates a finite time for another process. The next process may or may not be allocated the same amount of time and the time allocated to each processes depend upon their priority. On the other hand, Real parallelism applies to multi-processor(or multicore) system where each processor(or core) initiates its own sets of processes. Note that, it is possible that when a multi-core processor is performing Real Parallelism, each core might be performing Pseudo-parallelism amongst the processes(or threads) it is currently running.
When using windows XP on a single core processor and a duo core processor which runs faster?
oviosly the duo processor does exactly that, it processes the information faster. Although, that is not the only factor. You also need to check the RAM, Hard Disk, and YES The processor so that the computer can run smoothly with NO Freezing...
What are uni-processor and multi-processor?
seems you are a bit confused there,eh! it seems that u mean uni-core-processor and multi-core-processor. uni simply means 1 so its obvious it is a single core processor. (for eg. Pentium 4's) multi means multiple, so its obvious it is a multiple cores processor. (for eg. core2duo has 2 cores, core2quad has 4 cores, phenom ii x6 110t has 6 cores and so on)
Why not design a single really powerful processor?
It depends on what kind of processor you are talking about. If you are talking about a CPU, the main processor in a computer, the reason for multiple cores and not a single very processor is a fairly simple answer. Imagine you have a toll booth (the CPU), with a number of lanes (cores in the CPU). In real life the technology only exists to build a toll booth of a certain size. So what happens? You build more lanes and add more toll booths. That is basically the reason for building multiple cores.
