531Q. What is the difference between 32 bit OS and 64 bit OS?
The bus carries one wire per one bit.
8 bits means the bus contains 8 wires in which one
wire can transfer one bit of data at a
time.
1 byte = 1 character [a / b… 1,2….. ]
32 bits = 4 bytes. That means 4 characters can be
transferred.
64 bits = 8 bytes. That means 8 characters can be
transferred.
532Q. What is called chip?
1.
Processors reside on chips.
2.
Chips are made on very thin wafers made of
silicon.

circuits.
4.
The surface of silicon wafer is covered with
gooey substance called photresist which is sensitive to certain types of light.
5.
A glass
pattern is placed over the wafer. This pattern is marked with the precise lines
where transistors are placed.
6.
UV light is shined on that. The photo resist
reacts to the light.
7.

leaving a pattern of fine tracings on its surface.
8.
This wafer surface is coated wish ions.
9.

537Q. What is 2.5 G Technology?
2.5G,
which stands for "second and a half generation," is a cellular wireless technology developed in between its predecessor,
2G, and its successor, 3G.
The
term "2.5G" usually describes a 2G cellular system combined with
General Packet Radio Services (GPRS), or other services not generally found in
2G or 1G networks.
They are usually classified as 2.5G
technology because they have slower network speeds than most 3G services.
2.5G
networks may support services such as WAP, MMS, SMS mobile games, and search
and directory.
538Q. What are OSs of supercomputer?
Operating
systems
Until the early-to-mid-1980s, supercomputers usually
sacrificed instruction set
compatibility and code portability for performance (processing and memory
access speed).
For the most part, supercomputers to this time (unlike
high-end mainframes) had vastly different operating systems.
The Cray-1 alone had at least six different proprietary OSs
largely unknown to the general computing community.
In similar manner, different and incompatible vectorizing
and parallelizing compilers for Fortran
existed.
This trend would have continued with the ETA-10 were it not for the initial
instruction set compatibility between the Cray-1 and the Cray X-MP, and the
adoption of computer systems such as Cray's Unicos, or Linux.
539Q. What are the Special-purpose

and Hydra,

542Q. How
fast does sound travel?
In dry air, sound travels 742
miles/hour. (Airlines usually go around 550 mi/hour). In something like water,
however, where the atoms are closer together, sound travels easier, and goes at
3,261 miles/hour.
Technically, one must cite the
temperature and pressure at which to quote a sound speed since it will vary a
little. These numbers then are at room temperature and 1 atmosphere of
pressure.
A tidbit of fact on the subject of going
fast: Some planes can go as fast and faster than sound. At NASA's wind tunnel
at Moffett Field, they keep the plane fixed and move the air at up to 4 times
the speed of sound!

544Q. What are the uses of Elastic Cloud Computing?
Using Elastic Cloud Computing technology allows you
to have a flexible and scalable hardware infrastructure for
software deployment,
paying only for what you use.
You rent only the hardware infrastructure you need when you
need it.
545Q. What are the key
concepts of Cloud Computing?
Agility
improves with users' ability to rapidly and inexpensively re-provision
technological infrastructure resources.
·Application Programming Interface
(API) accessibility to software that enables machines to interact with cloud
software in the same way the user interface facilitates interaction between
humans and computers. Cloud Computing systems typically use REST-based APIs.
·Cost is claimed to be greatly reduced
and in a public cloud delivery model capital expenditure is
converted to operational expenditure. This ostensibly lowers barriers to entry,
as infrastructure is typically provided by a third-party and does not need to
be purchased for one-time or infrequent intensive computing tasks. Pricing on a
utility computing
basis is fine-grained with usage-based options and fewer IT skills are required
for implementation (in-house).
·Device and location independence
enable users to access systems using a web browser regardless of their location
or what device they are using (e.g., PC, mobile). As infrastructure is off-site
(typically provided by a third-party) and accessed via the Internet, users can
connect from anywhere.
·Multi-tenancy
enables sharing of resources and costs across a large pool of users thus
allowing for:
o
Centralization of
infrastructure in locations with lower costs (such as real estate, electricity,
etc.)
o
Peak-load capacity
increases (users need not engineer for highest possible load-levels)
o
Utilization and efficiency
improvements for systems that are often only 10–20% utilized.
·Reliability is improved if multiple
redundant sites are used, which makes well designed cloud computing suitable
for business continuity
and disaster recovery.
Nonetheless, many major cloud computing services have suffered outages, and IT
and business managers can at times do little when they are affected.
·Scalability
via dynamic ("on-demand") provisioning of
resources on a fine-grained, self-service basis near real-time, without users
having to engineer for peak loads. Performance is
monitored, and consistent and loosely coupled architectures are constructed
using web services as
the system interface. One of the most important new methods for overcoming
performance bottlenecks for a large class of applications is data parallel
programming on a distributed data grid.
·Security
could improve due to centralization of data, increased security-focused
resources, etc., but concerns can persist about loss of control over certain
sensitive data, and the lack of security for stored kernels. Security is often
as good as or better than under traditional systems, in part because providers
are able to devote resources to solving security issues that many customers
cannot afford. Providers typically log accesses, but accessing the audit logs
themselves can be difficult or impossible. Furthermore, the complexity of
security is greatly increased when data is distributed over a wider area and /
or number of devices.
·Maintenance of
cloud computing applications is easier, since they don't have to be installed
on each user's computer. They are easier to support and to improve since the
changes reach the clients instantly.
·Metering
means that cloud computing resources usage should be measurable and should be
metered per client and application on a daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly
basis.
546Q. What are the uses of Cloud Computing?
Cloud computing
describes computation, software, data access, and storage services that do not
require end-user knowledge of the physical location and configuration of the
system that delivers the services.
Cloud computing
is a natural evolution of the widespread adoption of virtualization, service-oriented architecture, autonomic
and utility computing.
Details are abstracted
from end-users, who no longer have need for expertise in, or control over, the
technology infrastructure "in the cloud" that supports them.
Cloud computing
describes a new supplement, consumption, and delivery model for IT services based on Internet protocols, and it typically
involves provisioning of dynamically scalable
and often virtualized resources.
Virtualization
News, Support, Podcasts, Videos, Downloads for the Citrix support, VMware
support, Microsoft Virtualization, Remote Desktop Services (Terminal Services),
Application Virtualization, Server Virtualization, Desktop Virtualization
(VDI), Virtualization Security, and Desktop Management Software
547Q. What is the main difference between a rich man and a poor man?
A poor is ready to sell his “ time “ to the rich man.
Whereas
a rich man is ready to buy the “time” from the poor. He is not ready to
sell his time.
The poor will have mostly one source of
income where as the rich have multiple sources of income.
