Explanation of Solution

Memory:

  • Memory is a physical storage device where any information that are needs to be accessed can be stored either permanently or temporary.
  • There are two kinds of memory and they are:
    • RAM(Random Access Memory)
      • It is read write memory.
      • The data are stored temporary and they are volatile in nature.
      • The contents of the RAM can be modified.
    • ROM(Read Only Memory)
      • It is read only memory
      • The data are stored permanently and they are non-volatile in nature.
      • The data cannot be modified in ROM because it is read only.

Two type of RAM:

There are two type of RAM namely:

  • SRAM(static Random Access Memory)
    • It is the fastest memory which requires power to retain the content that is present in it.
  • DRAM(Dynamic Random Access Memory)
    • It is slower memory where it requires being refreshed again and again to retain its data.

Fastest Memory:

The memory SRAM is considered as the fastest memory because it does not need to be refreshed again and again to retain its data; it requires only continuous power supply to retain its data.

Therefore, SRAM is considered as the fastest RAM.

Why is Linux popular? What would make someone choose a Linux OS over others? What makes a server? How is a server different from a workstation? What considerations do you have to keep in mind when choosing between physical, hybrid, or virtual server and what are the reasons to choose a virtual installation over the other options?
Objective  you will: 1. Implement a Binary Search Tree (BST) from scratch, including the Big Five (Rule of Five)  2. Implement the TreeSort algorithm using a in-order traversal to store sorted elements in a vector. 3. Compare the performance of TreeSort with C++'s std::sort on large datasets. Part 1: Understanding TreeSort How TreeSort Works TreeSort is a comparison-based sorting algorithm that leverages a Binary Search Tree (BST): 1. Insert all elements into a BST (logically sorting them). 2. Traverse the BST in-order to extract elements in sorted order. 3. Store the sorted elements in a vector.  Time Complexity Operation                                Average Case     Worst Case (Unbalanced Tree)Insertion                                     0(1log n)                0 (n)Traversal (Pre-order)                  0(n)                       0 (n)Overall Complexity                  0(n log n)                 0(n^2) (degenerated tree) Note: To improve performance, you could use a…
