Correct Answer : Formula Translator
Fortran is a general-purpose, imperative programming language that is especially suited to numeric computation and scientific computing. Its name is a contraction of FORmula TRANslation. It aims to provide a way to tell computers to calculate complicated mathematical expressions, with more ease than assembly language.
Correct Answer : Sorting
In the field of computing, the process of arranging data in a logical sequence is called sorting. It is a procedure that accepts a random sequence of numbers or any other data which can be arranged in a definite logical sequence as input. It arranges data items in a logical sequence-alphabetical, numerical, etc-by record key.
Correct Answer : FCFS scheduling algorithm
First-Come, First-Served (FCFS) Scheduling is the simplest CPU scheduling algorithm. It is like customers waiting in line at the bank or the post office or at a copying machine. Under it, the process that requests the CPU first is allocated the CPU first. However, the average waiting time under FCFS is long.
Correct Answer : Packet
Packet switching is the dividing of messages into packets before they are sent, transmitting each packet individually, and then reassembling them into the original message once all of them have arrived at the intended destination. Packets are the fundamental unit of information transport in internet that uses the datagram packet switching method. Most modern Wide Area Network protocols, including TCP/IP, are based on packet-switching technologies.
Correct Answer : Grid system
A grid is a network or a series or vertical and horizontal lines constructed perpendicular to each other. One series or lines runs from east to west and the other from north to south. Together they form squares of same dimensions within a given map. Each of the line forming the squares is given a value so that the position of an object on a map can be easily identified.
Correct Answer : Dynamic RAM
Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM), the most common kind of Random Access Memory (RAM) for Personal computers and workstations, has to be refreshed many times per second in order to hold its data contents. DRAM is dynamic in that, unlike static RAM (SRAM), it needs to have its storage cells refreshed or given a new electronic charge every few milliseconds. DRAM stores each bit in a storage cell consisting of a capacitor and a transistor. Capacitors tend to lose their charge rather quickly thus, the need for recharging.
Correct Answer : supports multiprocessing
Windows NT is a proprietary graphical operating system produced by Microsoft, the first version of which was released on July 27, 1993. It is a processor-independent, multiprocessing and multi-user operating system.
Correct Answer : Fetch, Decode, Execute
Fetch-Decode-Execute Cycle is the basic operation cycle of a computer. It is the process by which a computer retrieves a program instruction from its memory (fetch), determines what actions the instruction requires (decode), and carries out those actions (execute). It is repeated continuously by the central processing unit, from boot up to when the computer is shut down.
Correct Answer : EKA
Correct Answer : Epson
The Epson HX-20 (also known as the HC-20) is generally regarded as the first laptop computer, announced in November 1981, although first sold widely in 1983. It was hailed by Business Week magazine as the “fourth revolution in personal computing”.
