Variables in Programming Languages: A Comprehensive Guide

Von Neumann Bottleneck

The speed of connection between memory and the processor is slower than the speed at which instructions can be executed.

Compiler Implementation

A program is translated into machine language, which can be directly executed (e.g., C, COBOL, C++, ADA).

Interpretation

No translation is performed; the program is interpreted by another program (e.g., JavaScript, PHP).

Hybrid Implementation

High-level language programs are interpreted into an intermediate language that can be easily interpreted.

Protocol

A protocol defines the format and order of messages exchanged between communicating entities, as well as the actions taken upon message transmission or reception. Key internet protocols include TCP and IP, collectively known as TCP/IP.

Internet

The Internet connects millions of devices, including traditional computers and increasingly, non-traditional devices like smartphones and IoT devices. These devices, called hosts or end systems, communicate

Understanding Operating Systems: Processes, Threads, and Scheduling

Operating System Concepts

Processes and Threads

Process Fundamentals

A process is a program in execution. It’s dynamic and active, unlike a static program. Each process has components like code, data, stack, and heap.

Threads and Multithreading Models

Threads exist within a process and share resources like code, data, and heap. Each thread has its own stack, registers, and program counter. There are three main multithreading models:

  • One-to-One: Each user thread maps to a kernel thread.
  • One-to-Many: Multiple
