§Describe the general organization of a computer system and the role of interrupts

Within the context of an operating system, a discussion should take place on an issue caused by concurrent processing.

The central processing unit (CPU) is a fundamental component of a computer system that carries out the majority of the processing and execution of instructions?

Define instructions set architectures and explain why they cannot be used in a virtual computer.

General-purpose computers and embedded systems serve different purposes. Unlike PCs, embedded systems can only execute a single software application at once. Systems that are embedded can't be programmed. General-purpose systems need a faster processing speed than embedded systems, which are constrained by runtime.

Embedded and general-purpose computers serve different purposes. Unlike computers, embedded devices only execute one software application. Embedded systems are unprogrammable. General-purpose systems demand faster processing than runtime-restricted embedded systems.

Describe the components in a modern, multiprocessor computer system

Information Technology Survey Problems with interprocess communication arise when computers employ both big-endian and little-endian CPU architectures. When can we expect solutions to be implemented?

Multithreaded designs: do operating system constraints apply?

Microprocessors do not have input/output (I/O) devices, which distinguishes them from microcomputers.
