Need of business professional to know about computer software:
The business professional must know about the various software components in order to manage the various resources which are discussed as follows:
Each computer has the operating system that are nothing but the computer programs used for the management of the various computer resources.
- The operating system plays an important role for the function of various system performances such as read operation, write operations and allocation of main memory and to perform the swapping of memory, responding to error and exception handling and to perform the backup, recovery of the resources.
- The operating system is also responsible for managing the various input and output devices such as the display, keyboard and mouse and to control other external devices.
- Software is needed for the maintenance of the functionalities of clients and server and it is necessary for the functioning of both the application of client and server.
- The application of the software can be useful in organization. The server operating system is the computer operating system that has been designed specifically for the configuration of server.
- The UNIX operating system can also be possible to implement on the servers. However the Linux operating system is also very useful in many organizations because it’s free and open source nature of the operating system and it’s easy to configure compared to the Microsoft server implementations.
Virtualization:
Virtualization can be defined as the process in which one computer system can appear as many computer systems. It is possible for one operating system that is known as host operating system to run as one or more operating system as the applications.
- The operating system that has been hosted is known as the Virtual machine where more than one operating system can be operated and each virtual machine can have their system resources allocated to it.
Types of virtualization:
There are three types of virtualization which are as follows:
PC virtualization:
- It is the process of virtually installing more than one operating system in a single personal computer.
- The user can be able to install more than one Operating System (OS) using some virtualization software such as VMware and both the OS can share the same system resources.
Server virtualization:
- The server virtualization is the process of hosting more than one server computer into a single server computer.
- The user can virtually host two virtual machines where each machine can act as server computer.
Desktop virtualization:
- The term desktop virtualization is the process of installing many operating systems for desktop in a single server...

EBK USING MIS
- : 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…arrow_forwardProgramming Problems 9.28 Assume that a system has a 32-bit virtual address with a 4-KB page size. Write a C program that is passed a virtual address (in decimal) on the command line and have it output the page number and offset for the given address. As an example, your program would run as follows: ./addresses 19986 Your program would output: The address 19986 contains: page number = 4 offset = 3602 Writing this program will require using the appropriate data type to store 32 bits. We encourage you to use unsigned data types as well. Programming Projects Contiguous Memory Allocation In Section 9.2, we presented different algorithms for contiguous memory allo- cation. This project will involve managing a contiguous region of memory of size MAX where addresses may range from 0 ... MAX - 1. Your program must respond to four different requests: 1. Request for a contiguous block of memory 2. Release of a contiguous block of memory 3. Compact unused holes of memory into one single block 4.…arrow_forwardusing r languagearrow_forward

- You are given a class that processes purchases for an online store. The class receives calls to: • Retrieve the prices for items from a database • Record the sold items • Update the database • Refresh the webpage a. What architectural pattern is suitable for this scenario? Illustrate your answer by drawing a model for the solution, showing the method calls/events. b. Comment on how applying this pattern will impact the modifiability of the system. c.
