    1. Windows 7 installation is fast and lightweight compared to older Windows systems. It provides a streamlined mode to avoid useless software taking up hard disk space, such as Mail Mail, MovieMaker, and other features are eliminated.
    2. But this will also lead to the loss of some commonly used software solution: log on to Microsoft's official Windows Live package.
  10. How to resolve "XP mode is invalid " in Windows 7
    1. The XP virtual pattern in Windows 7 is a major innovation that provides users with both XP and Windows 7 operating experiences. It not only solves the compatibility problem of the old software but also plays the new features of Windows 7.
    2. There are usually three reasons for failure:
      1. XP mode requires CPU support, and Microsoft's hardware virtualization aids can be used to detect compliance with virtualization requirements;
      2. In addition, the virtualization functions of AMD-V, Intel VT, and VIA VT must be activated in the motherboard settings;
      3. The last reason is that some OEMs have disabled XP mode for security reasons, and users can view whether it is blocked in firewall records.

If all of the above scenarios are excluded, it is recommended to download professional virtualization software such as VirtualBox to fulfill your desire to run XP in Windows 7.

Defination of the essential properties of operating systems

Define the essential properties of the following types of operating sys-tems:  Batch  Interactive  Time sharing  Real time  Network  Parallel  Distributed  Clustered  Handheld ANSWERS: a. Batch processing:-   Jobs with similar needs are batched together and run through the computer as a group by an operator or automatic job sequencer. Performance is increased by attempting to keep CPU and I/O devices busy at all times through buffering, off-line operation, spooling, and multi-programming. Batch is good for executing large jobs that need little interaction; it can be submitted and picked up later. b. Interactive System:-   This system is composed of many short transactions where the results of the next transaction may be unpredictable. Response time needs to be short (seconds) since the user submits and waits for the result. c. Time sharing:-   This systems uses CPU scheduling and multipro-gramming to provide economical interactive use of a system. The CPU switches rapidl

What is a Fair lock in multithreading?

  Photo by  João Jesus  from  Pexels In Java, there is a class ReentrantLock that is used for implementing Fair lock. This class accepts optional parameter fairness.  When fairness is set to true, the RenentrantLock will give access to the longest waiting thread.  The most popular use of Fair lock is in avoiding thread starvation.  Since longest waiting threads are always given priority in case of contention, no thread can starve.  The downside of Fair lock is the low throughput of the program.  Since low priority or slow threads are getting locks multiple times, it leads to slower execution of a program. The only exception to a Fair lock is tryLock() method of ReentrantLock.  This method does not honor the value of the fairness parameter.

How do clustered systems differ from multiprocessor systems? What is required for two machines belonging to a cluster to cooperate to provide a highly available service?

 How do clustered systems differ from multiprocessor systems? What is required for two machines belonging to a cluster to cooperate to provide a highly available service? Answer: Clustered systems are typically constructed by combining multiple computers into a single system to perform a computational task distributed across the cluster. Multiprocessor systems on the other hand could be a single physical entity comprising of multiple CPUs. A clustered system is less tightly coupled than a multiprocessor system. Clustered systems communicate using messages, while processors in a multiprocessor system could communicate using shared memory. In order for two machines to provide a highly available service, the state on the two machines should be replicated and should be consistently updated. When one of the machines fails, the other could then take‐over the functionality of the failed machine. Some computer systems do not provide a privileged mode of operation in hardware.
