Chapter 14, Problem 1TC
A user complains that her computer is performing slowly. She tells you the problem started about a week ago when new
a. Uninstall the database software and see if performance improves.
b. Use Performance Monitor and Process counters to observe performance.
c. Use the Performance tab of Task Manager to observe database software activity.
d. Install more memory to improve system resources to handle the new software.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Given:
A user installed a software to update the database synced in database servers and users’ workstation. After performing all these tasks, the users’ computer gets slowed down.
To find: The method/tool to solve the hogging problem caused due to the installation of new software.
Solution:
Open the Task Manager and check the application that is using maximum RAM and Disk Space.
This application is responsible for computer hogging. When one program needs all of the CPU’s attention, other programs that also need the CPU might not get enough time to do their work.
Hence, c is the correct option.

Consider the figure below, which shows the arrival of 6 messages for transmission at different multiple access wireless nodes at times t=0.1, 1.4, 1.8, 3.2, 3.3, 4.1. Each transmission requires exactly one time unit. 1 t=0.0 2 3 45 t=1.0 t-2.0 t-3.0 6 t=4.0 t-5.0 For the CSMA protocol (without collision detection), indicate which packets are successfully transmitted. You should assume that it takes .2 time units for a signal to propagate from one node to each of the other nodes. You can assume that if a packet experiences a collision or senses the channel busy, then that node will not attempt a retransmission of that packet until sometime after t=5. Hint: consider propagation times carefully here. (Note: You can find more examples of problems similar to this here B.] ☐ U ப 5 - 3 1 4 6 2arrow_forward
- Just wanted to know, if you had a scene graph, how do you get multiple components from a specific scene node within a scene graph? Like if I wanted to get a component from wheel from the scene graph, does that require traversing still?

How does the physics component knows how to get the scene object's transform it is attached to, this being in a scene graph?arrow_forwardHow to develop a C program that receives the message sent by the provided program and displays the name and email included in the message on the screen?Here is the code of the program that sends the message for reference: typedef struct { long tipo; struct { char nome[50]; char email[40]; } dados;} MsgStruct; int main() { int msg_id, status; msg_id = msgget(1000, 0600 | IPC_CREAT); exit_on_error(msg_id, "Creation/Connection"); MsgStruct msg; msg.tipo = 5; strcpy(msg.dados.nome, "Pedro Silva"); strcpy(msg.dados.email, "pedro@sapo.pt"); status = msgsnd(msg_id, &msg, sizeof(msg.dados), 0); exit_on_error(status, "Send"); printf("Message sent!\n");}arrow_forward9.
