Interrupt-driven I/O: The processor issues an I/O command on behalf of a process, continues to execute subsequent instructions, and is interrupted by the I/O module when the latter has completed its work. The subsequent instructions may be in the same process, if it is not necessary for that process to wait for the completion of the I/O. Otherwise, the process is suspended pending the interrupt and other work is performed. Direct memory access (DMA): A DMA module controls the exchange of data between main memory and an I/O module. The processor sends a request for the transfer of a block of data to the DMA module and is interrupted only after the entire block has been…

It seems that any certain instruction(s) can be executed, only when the CPU is in kernel mode. At the same instance, the hardware devices could only be accessed, only when the program is executing in the kernel mode. There is a propensity that control over when interrupts could be enabled or disabled is also possible only when the CPU is in kernel mode. Therefore, the Computer Processing Unit (CPU) has very limited capability when executing in user mode. This in turn will enforce protection of critical resources.…

Over the past 25 years, there has been much advancement in computer systems and architecture to improve system performance. The development of concepts such as cache memory, virtual memory, pipelining, and reduced instruction set computing (RISC) have led to increases in speed and processing power, as well as optimization of CPU usage and energy efficiency. These concepts have evolved over the years, and continue to evolve and give rise to new concepts which enhance system performance at an almost exponential rate. Computers today are more powerful, and cheaper to manufacture and maintain than ever before. This paper will examine the evolution of, and current trends in improving computer system performance by exploring concepts such as cache memory, virtual memory, pipelining, and RISC, and assessing the impact these concepts have made, and continue to make on system performance.…

Materials and Assessments: I will be using the following materials to create my “emergent reader book plan”: (1) the I like Myself book, (2) leveled book about topic, (3) list of words (different parts of grammar/traits/descriptive words), (4) chart paper, (5) markers, (6) magazines, (7) index cards, (8) glue, (9) scissors, (10) crayons, (11) paper, (12) writing utensils, (13) and pictures. In regards to space, my lessons will be taking place in the classroom, on the rug, on tables and the hallway. I will use several forms of assessments for this emergent reader book plan: (a) student participation observation notes, (b) use formal/informal/authentic/performance rubrics, (c) use a baseline of student work to gauge learning.…
