In this tutorial, we will discuss the difference between a multiprocessor and a multicomputer. A computer system that has more than two processors built inside of it for simultaneous processing of all processors is a multiprocessor. A multicomputer is built by connecting two or more processors in order to work together to solve problems. Computers … Read more
In this article, we will discuss the CRT and LCD, along with their differences. A CRT is a symbol for Cathode Ray Tube, while the acronym LCD symbolizes Liquid Crystal Display. Both CRT display screens and LCD screens are kinds of monitors that display images or videos on their screens. There are numerous distinctions between … Read more
In this article, we will discuss the difference between memory and registers. Both of these increase the processor’s working speed. The processor’s speed can increase by increasing the registers in the CPU or by using registers of high bit capacity. Similarly, increasing the actual main memory of the computer can cause the CPU to process … Read more
In this article, we are going to discuss the difference between the DDR2 and DDR3 and different versions of DDR (Double Data Rate Version). The major question here is: What is DDR? It is a type of RAM (Random Access Memory). In computer systems, RAM is a temporary memory storage device. The computer requires RAM … Read more
The operating system is a very significant part of any machine as it runs it. All the computers that are general-purpose are supposed to have an operating system for accommodating other applications. The main duty of the operating system is to carry out basic functionalities. For example, when input is entered using a keyboard, it … Read more
As we have discussed in many of the previous articles that whenever we run a process, the operating system automatically allocates some space for it in memory (secondary storage). This memory allocation of a process is of major concern in operating systems. Whenever we run a process or a code the allocated space of memory … Read more
In last article, we have seen what is difference between process and thread. Now , we will talk about what are the differences between process and program used in modern operating systems. Operating system is basically a way to connect the end user to the hardware of the computer. It controls the entire functionality of … Read more
In this article, we will see the main differences between RISC and CISC architecture. At the start, will see an introduction of RISC architecture. How its works. After that, we will go through a brief introduction of CISC architecture and its working. In conclusion, we will summarize the differences of RISC and CISC. Recommended Books … Read more
In this article, we will see the differences between processes and threads used in operating systems. The duty of OS is to manage all the interfaces of the applications that are being run by the computer. The applications make requests with the help of the operating system through an interface-API. Furthermore, GUIs or user-interfaces can … Read more
In every computer system, to acquire data, CPU accesses the hard disk and to do so a lot of time is required. That is why the processes to be executed are put in RAM or the computer’s main memory. The purpose of doing so is that data in the RAM can be retrieved much more … Read more
