Interprocess communication (IPC) is a group of programming interfaces which enable a software developer or programmer to coordinate different tasks and activities among different program operations which execute simultaneously in the operating system. IPC enables a program to handle many user requests at the same time. An user request results in execution of multiple processes in the operating system. The processes must communicate with one other to carry out their tasks. The interfaces of IPC aids in communication,data exchange among the different processes. There are advantages and disadvantages present in every method of IPC. A single program can ...

The Impact of the Guaranteed Price Policy on the European Sugar Market

Sugar industry is one of the most dynamic in the structure of the food industry and plays a significant role in the economies of several countries. The European Union leads the five largest importers of sugar. Sugar production in the EU is expected to grow by 10% in the 2017/18 season. The production may reach 18.3 million tons, but still will be lower than the record 2014/15 season (19.4 million tons). Sugar production growth is expected in France (up to 5.5 million tons) and the UK (up to 1.4 million tons). However, despite the increase in production, the EU ...

Introduction.

In the automotive industry, today, electronic systems and mainly semiconductor technologies have really helped improve vehicle performance and harness numerous capabilities that were not present years ago. Key among these technologies are microcontroller chips which are involved in a wide array of functionalities ranging from braking, engine control, air bags, chassis control, entertainment, lighting and even infotainment among other functions that are now part of modern “smart cars”. In modern microcontroller chips, new functionalities can be implemented using software by leveraging the improved performance and memory features seen in modern designs.

Abstract

After the 9/11 event agro-terrorism has continually been recognized as a national security threat. It aims at depriving citizens off the confidence they have in the government. The act also endangers human life as the contaminated food is unhealthy. Agriculture has much vulnerability and although it does not have the shocking factors as other terrorist strategies it may be used as a secondary target. The US not having been a victim of a large-scale, successful agro-terrorism attack is not a guarantee that the nation’s agricultural and food processing systems are secure. Many policies have been implemented and initiatives ...

Introduction

The purpose of this paper is to look at the logic that underlies Intel's product diversification strategy. Moreover, the paper will also consider the greatest threats to Intel's competitive advantage in the current day. The conclusion section will present a summary of the main points from the discussion.

Logic Underlying Intel’s Product Diversification Strategy

Intel, being the world’s biggest chipmaker that dominates the entire market for semiconductors, which run the traditional computers, is looking for ways to diversify as consumers increasingly utilize tablets and smartphones that do not have the Intel processors. In this regard, with the PC market expected to decline for three ...

The rates of hunger and poverty in America are alarming. Food and hunger programs have committed themselves to coming up with solutions to the food insecurity. According to 2015 annual hunger survey in New York State, almost half of working-group residents failed to afford enough food in a household that at least one individual was employed. In 2012-2014, more than 450,000 residents of New York City lived in households that were food insecure but with at least one person employed. A portion of 48% of adults aged between 15 and 65 in New York City lacked sufficient food ...

A chromebook is a type of laptop that is different from the traditional laptop in two major ways. Firstly, the chromebook does not use the conventional windows or Mac operating systems (OS). Instead, the chromebook runs on an operating system called chrome OS, which is made by Google. Second, the chromebook is designed for internet use with all files and applications stored in the cloud. Therefore, chromebooks have small amounts of internal storage. As a result, chromebooks are relatively cheap compared to conventional laptops. With regard to their features, chromebooks are equipped with processors that are generally less powerful ...

Cache memory I use or planning to purchase.

Cache memory is a Random Access Memory, also known as the central processing unit memory or CPU memory. There are different “levels” that categorize cache memory. For instance, my computer uses a level three with a memory size of 3MB though in some cases it is used in conjunction with “level 1” and “level 2” cache memory.

L1 cache Interface with the CPU and memory

The main purpose of a cache memory is to store instruction set needed by the processor as fast as possible. To achieve this, the processor chip usually integrates the cache memory for L1 and L2 cache, and bus for L3 cache (Loh, ...

RAID Hard Drive Configuration

“RAID which stands for Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks” is nothing but a configuration where a logical unit of large storage space is created by putting together a number of different hard disk drives. The purpose of doing this is that it is very robust and can be fault free with higher efficiencies that a single or various individual hard disk drives. RAID is a very good and tested technology across platforms and geographies which help the users in a fast access of data with a lot of reliability. RAID is now commonly becoming a part of every network ...
