Briefly describe the concept of Multiprocessing How does parallel processing differ from multiprocessing?

2-Briefly describe Moore\'s law. What are the implications of this law

3-What is the difference between application software and system software? Give an example

Solution

multiprocessing :

Parallel processing differs from multiprocessing in a such a way that in a single computer system how the utilization of multiple cpu’s happens

2-Moore\'s law:

Moore’s law refers to an observation made by Intel co-founder Gordon Moore in 1965.he noticed that the number of transistors per square inch on integrated circuits had doubled every year since their invention

Moore’s law predicts that this trend will continue into the foreseeable future. Although the pace has slowed , the number of transistors per square inch has since doubled approximately every 18 months .this is used as the current definition of Moore’s law

Moore\'s Law implications:

moore’s law was first published in electronics magazine in 1965 .The importance of the law to semiconductor manufacturers is evident. The semiconductor manufacturing industry has created a predictive roadmap that spans nearly five decades from 1971 through 2020. This set of documents is titled \"The International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors.\" This roadmap was established by five geographic regions that represent nearly all chip manufacturers. Consequently, all decisions about future product releases and research efforts are based on the two-year window of Moore\'s Law.

3-application s/w and system s/w diff

Application software is installed according to the requirements of the user whereas system software gets installed when the operating system is installed on the computer

Application software includes media players ,word processors, and spreadsheet programs whereas system software includes programs such as compilers, debuggers, drivers, assemblers

Users interact with application software while doing different activities whereas users do not interact with system softwares as it works in the background

Application software programs installed on the computer at the same time whereas a computer may not require more than one type of system software

Application software cannot run without the presence of the system software whereas system software can run independently of the application software

application s/w examples:Microsoft office,Adobe Photoshop

system s/w examples:microsoft windows,linux
