Components of computer:

Computer has four major components, they are:

  • Central processing unit (CPU)
  • Memory unit
  • Input devices
  • Output devices

Central Processing Unit (CPU):

  • CPU plays the key role in a computer by carrying out instructions of a computer program.
  • It performs all the basic logic, arithmetic, controlling and input/output operations that are specified by the instructions.
  • The CPU comprises of two units, Arithmetic logic unit (ALU) and control unit (CU).

Memory unit:

  • Once computer program instructions set are transformed into machine code by CPU, the machine code is stored in memory.
  • Then the CPU fetches the required data and instructions from memory and performs the required operations and then sends the result and next instructions set back to memory.

Input devices:

  • The devices used by the user to feed information to the computer, such as a hard drive, keyboard, or a networking card.
  • These devices get the data from outside world into the computer in the way that human eyes and ears bring the data to brain.

Output devices:

  • Output devices are used by computer to deliver information to user, such as a monitor, printer, and speaker.
  • The CPU takes the machine code present in memory and converts it into a format that is mandatory by monitor’s hardware.
  • Then the monitor’s hardware converts that information into different light intensities so that you see words or pictures.

: The Multithreaded Cook In this lab, we'll practice multithreading. Using Semaphores for synchronization, implement a multithreaded cook that performs the following recipe, with each task being contained in a single Thread: 1. Task 1: Cut onions. a. Waits for none. b. Signals Task 4 2. Task 2: Mince meat. a. Waits for none b. Signals Task 4 3. Task 3: Slice aubergines. a. Waits for none b. Signals Task 6 4. Task 4: Make sauce. a. Waits for Task 1, and 2 b. Signals Task 6 5. Task 5: Finished Bechamel. a. Waits for none b. Signals Task 7 6. Task 6: Layout the layers. a. Waits for Task 3, and 4 b. Signals Task 7 7. Task 7: Put Bechamel and Cheese. a. Waits for Task 5, and 6 b. Signals Task 9 8. Task 8: Turn on oven. a. Waits for none b. Signals Task 9 9. Task 9: Cook. a. Waits for Task 7, and 8 b. Signals none At the start of each task (once all Semaphores have been acquired), print out a string of the task you are starting, sleep for 2-11 seconds, then print out a string saying that you…
