Justify your stance on why a batch OS can't handle today's demanding software like online booking and cash machines. The performance of a time-shared system is very sensitive to the value selected for a time slice. What would happen if a very large number was selected for the time slice? Let's say it turned out to be too little.

When would it be preferable to divide up a massive computer program into more manageable chunks? In what ways can dividing up this system into subsystems help?
Let's pretend for a second that you are a software designer and that you have developed a programme that analyses pictures of different recyclable items (such as a can, bottle or a crate). It is possible to utilise it by way of something called a Web Application Programming Interface (Web API), which gives users the ability to send pictures over the internet. The system will provide, for each photograph, the total number of instances of each unique item that can be seen in the image. This information is presented in the form of a count. Think about whether or not it would be acceptable to provide this service at free cost to the customer. Justify your answer
Yet, the vast majority of modern computers lack the necessary components to carry out an OSI model implementation in an adequate manner. It's possible that we'll utilise fewer, more straightforward layers that need less maintenance. Is there anything that springs to mind that would go awry if there were to be fewer layers used?
Compared to a monolithic OS design, what are two benefits and two drawbacks of using a microkernel OS? Please give evidence to back up the assertions you've made in support of your stance.

You feel that transitioning from a serial to a batch processing system is the most crucial step to take. Consider the reasons why you believe this is a good idea, and then explain them logically to the audience.
If you want to compare the task of baking a cake to anything you may encounter while using a parallel computer, think of it as the equivalent of computing three iterations of a loop. Explore the cake-making process in search of parallelism at both the data and task levels, and provide an explanation for their presence.
What is the key distinction between having "many threads" running concurrently and having "many processes" in operation at the same time? If it's not too much difficulty, it would be really helpful if you could expound on this issue in a few of sentences. I'd truly appreciate it?
The advantages of using a compiled language rather to an interpreter are many.An interpreter's assistance would be useful in the following scenario.
What is the key difference between having "many threads" running concurrently and having "many processes" in operation all at once? If it's not too much difficulty, it would be really helpful if you could expound on this issue in a few of sentences. I'd truly appreciate it.
