  • Computer – An Introduction

    * A computer is a device that can receive process and store data.
    * However, all computers have several parts in common:
    * Input devices allow data and commands to the computer (Mouse, Keyboard etc.)
    * Memory for storing commands and data.
    * Central Processing Unit which controls the processing.
    * Monitor Process the information in the form of output.

    Characteristics of Computer

    * Speed
    * Accuracy
    * Storage
    * Diligence
    * Versatility
    * Automation

    Peripheral Devices

    * The peripheral device connects to a computer system to add functionality. Examples are a mouse, keyboard, monitor, printer and scanner.
    * A computer peripheral is a device that connects to a computer but is not part of the core computer architecture.
    * The core elements of a computer are the central processing unit, power supply, motherboard and the computer case that contains those three components.

    Types of Peripheral Devices

    * There are many peripheral devices, but they fall into three general categories:
    * Input devices, such as a mouse and a keyboard
    * Output devices, such as a monitor and a printer
    * Storage devices, such as a hard drive or flash drive

    Types of Operating System

    1. A real - time Operating System is a multi tasking Operating System that aims at executing real time applications.
    2. Real - time processing responds to input instantly.
    3. An Operating System which allows multiple users to access a computer system concurrently is known as multi user operating system.
    4. When the Operating System allows the execution of multiple tasks at one time, it is classified as a multi tasking Operating System.
    5. A distributed Operating System manages a group of independent computers and makes them appear to be a single computer.
    6. Embedded Operating Systems are designed to be used in embedded computer systems.
    7. Examples of embedded Operating Systems are Windows 10, UBUNTU and Mac OS X yosemite.
    8. Multi processing Operating System supports running a program on more than one CPU.
    9. Multi threading Operating System allows different parts of a single program to run concurrently.

  • RAM :

    The RAM (random access memory) is the place in a computer where the operating system, application programs, and data in current use are kept.
    RAM is much faster to read from and write to than the other kinds of storage in a computer, the hard disk, floppy disk, and CD-ROM.
    It has two parts:
    A. SRAM: Static Random Access Memory
    B. DRAM: Dynamic Random Access Memory.

    ROM:

    As the name suggests ROM, stores information that can only be read. Modifying it is impossible or very difficult.
    ROM is also a type of non-volatile storage, which means that the information in it stays even if the computer loses power.
    This is another type of ROM that is impossible or difficult to change.

    PROM

    – Programmable Read Only Memory.

    EPROM

    – Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory.

    EEPROM

    – Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory.
