Terminology Bit (b), Byte (B), Word, LSB & MSB
9
Terminology Prefix: kB, MB, GB & TB Example: Number of bytes (B) Example: Number of bytes (B) 1 kB = 1,000 B = 10 3 B 1 kB = 1,000 B = 10 3 B 1 MB = 1,000,000 B = 10 6 B 1 MB = 1,000,000 B = 10 6 B 1 GB = 1,000,000,000 B = 10 9 B 1 GB = 1,000,000,000 B = 10 9 B 1 TB = 1,000,000,000,000 B = 10 12 B 1 TB = 1,000,000,000,000 B = 10 12 B

Terminology Serial vs. Parallel Communication
11
Terminology Frequency (Hz, kHz, MHz & GHz) Number of clocks per second (Hertz, Hz) Number of clocks per second (Hertz, Hz) 1 kHz = 1,000 Hz = 10 3 Hz 1 kHz = 1,000 Hz = 10 3 Hz 1 MHz = 1,000,000 Hz = 10 6 Hz 1 MHz = 1,000,000 Hz = 10 6 Hz 1 GHz = 1,000,000,000 Hz = 10 9 Hz 1 GHz = 1,000,000,000 Hz = 10 9 Hz
12
Terminology Bandwidth (BW) Amount of data being transmitted per second (e.g., MB/s, Gb/s) Amount of data being transmitted per second (e.g., MB/s, Gb/s) USB 3.0 reaches 5 Gb/s (gigabits per second) USB 3.0 reaches 5 Gb/s (gigabits per second) PCI Express 4.0 can reach 15.754 Gb/s PCI Express 4.0 can reach 15.754 Gb/s IEEE 802.11 ad reaches 6.75 Gb/s IEEE 802.11 ad reaches 6.75 Gb/s

Types of Operating Systems Single-user, single-tasking Single-user, single-tasking Single-user, multi-tasking Single-user, multi-tasking Multi-user, multi-tasking Multi-user, multi-tasking Real-time operating system Real-time operating system
68
Single-User Single-Tasking Single user can effectively do one thing at a time. Also know as Embedded operating systems. Used in personal digital assistants (PDAs) and mobile phones.
69
Single-User Multi-Tasking Typical desktop and laptop operating systems such as Windows and Mac OS. Single user can run several programs at the same time.
70
Multi-User Multi-Tasking A multi-user operating system simultaneously allows many different users (hundreds or even thousands) to take advantage of the computer's resources. Unix, MVS, VMS are examples. Unix, MVS, VMS are examples.
71
Real-Time OS (RTOS) The fastest OS which are used in time-critical environments/applications. Control machinery, scientific instruments, industrial systems, sophisticated medical equipment, airport traffic, space flights and high speed aircraft.

PC Boot Up Process CPU initializes itself by a series of clock ticks. ROM BIOS runs the power-on self test (POST), and checks the BIOS chip, CMOS RAM, hardware (e.g., video card), secondary storage (e.g., hard drives), ports, keyboard and mouse. The BIOS looks for an OS to load from the C drive or DVD drive. The order of drives that the CMOS looks to in order to locate the OS is called the boot sequence. The BIOS copies its files into memory and the OS takes over control of the boot process. The OS performs another inventory of the system's memory and loads the device drivers for the peripheral devices, such as a printer, scanner, optical drive, mouse and keyboard. After this the user can access the system’s applications to perform tasks.
