I/O Bus -- an I/O Bus is actually a logical interface between two components in a system, and these two components can either be a processor and specific memory, calculation or transformational logic routine embedded in firmware, or can also be peer-to-peer components, depending on the logic approach as defined by the I/O Bus definition. The Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI) bus is actually used for managing multiple system, storage and peripheral components in conjunction with one another. An I/O Bus is a critical element in any computer or network system.
Interrupts -- These are unforeseen and often random events that one system component relies on to gain access to resources needed for completing a request. Interrupts are often used in pre-emptive multitasking-based operating system as the many threads from applications an microprocessor is managing need to gain access to both memory and processor power, hence the development of an interrupt for resources.
Memory-Mapped I/O -- This is memory in a system that has specifically been designed for programmers to quickly gain access to specific memory locations in the definition of their programs. Memory-mapped I/O increases the performance of applications significantly as a result.
Direct Memory Access (DMA) -- Designed for higher efficiency in programming tasks and the development of faster access speeds, DMA is memory that by definition is mapped directly from the microprocessor to the memory locations themselves, alleviating the need to go through specific programming and intermediary steps.
Seek time -- the amount of time required for a storage device to find a specific requested record or element of data. Seek times in disk drives are significantly different that DMA for example.
Rotational latency -- One of the three measures of performance for disk drives, rotational latency, seek time, and transfer time are all combined to quantify total disk drive performance. Rotational latency is the time required for the disk drives' electronics to place the correct head, sector and track information below the read/write head for accessing.
Transfer time -- in the context of disk drive performance, transfer time is the time needed to read or write data to the hard disk drives' surface, often organized in head, sector and track format.
operations process a bus manufacturing business project. The aim analyze operation develop methods improvement. Bus manufacturing is quite a slow and tedious process, for most companies, the manufacturing process is divided into two. First, most of the vehicle component are manufactured outside the parent enterprise and are purchased for assembly. Then the second phase of manufacturing, which now takes, place at the enterprise is the assembly part of it. Bus manufacturing
LESSON PLAN OUTLINE: School Bus Safety and Emergency Procedures THE PURPOSE OF THE LESSON Hello and welcome, future public and private school bus drivers in the state of California! Driving a bus full of noisy and energetic children is certainly a challenging but rewarding task. The purpose of today's lesson is to inform all of you potential drivers about the different regulatory issues pertaining to driving a school bus in the state
Boys on the Bus Media is defined, according to the American Heritage Dictionary as "an intervening substance through which something is transmitted or carried on." It seems that this definition leaves out the "spin factor," in the case of political argument and campaign journalism. A more succinct definition is an intervening substance through which something is transformed to meet the current needs of the disseminator. According to Crouse's book, The
GLO-BUS Strategic Plan GLO-BUS Strategic Plan Our company employed a low-cost organization strategy. We are striving to accomplish minimal overall cost than opponents and appeal to a wide variety of customers, usually by underpricing opponents. Attempting to be the sector's overall low-cost provider has been a highly effective competitive approach in this market as there are many price-sensitive customers (Cunningham & Harney, 2012). We achieved a low-cost leadership and became the
The managers at DigiSnap emphasized on this characteristic and drastically reduced operational costs, to culminate with a 22% reduction in the retail price. The endeavor gained them increased numbers of customers and a wider market coverage. 7. Product Strategies We have placed increased emphasis on the four elements of the marketing mix -- product, place, promotions and price. The retail prices were established based on the variable pricing strategy, which sees
