Program Plan Intro

Multiprogramming:

  • Multiprogramming is the concept in which several processes or programs runs in a single Central Processing Unit (CPU).
  • The multiple processes are scheduled by running the programs in CPU. Sometimes, the computer will be blocked for a specific time to permit the processing time for other programs.
  • If the program is executed concurrently then it improves the system throughput and there will be complete utilization of system resources.

Operating System (OS):

In a computer, OS is a collection of software that enables the computer hardware to communicate with the software.

  • This helps to control the traffic in the computer and also schedules the processing time and memory for each process.
  • The basic operations such as reading the input through keyboard, displaying the output in monitor are managed by the OS.

For each of the following, decide whether the claim is True or False and select the True ones: Suppose we discover that the 3SAT can be solved in worst-case cubic time. Then it would mean that all problems in NP can also be solved in cubic time. If a problem can be solved using Dynamic Programming, then it is not NP-complete. Suppose X and Y are two NP-complete problems. Then, there must be a polynomial-time reduction from X to Y and also one from Y to X.
