Type 1 Hypervisor - ANSWERwhere the virtualization occurs at the firmware level
Type 2 Hypervisor - ANSWERwhere the virtualization is done by a software program
that runs on an operating system
Socket - ANSWERkind of connector that the CPU processor has
Buses - ANSWERresponsible for moving data btw components
CPU (Central Processing Unit) - ANSWERThe internal operating unit or "brain" of a computer.
Cores - ANSWERresponsible for executing instructions
Clock Speed - ANSWERdictates how many instructions the CPU can process each second
* processor that can execute one instruction per second has a clock speed of 1 Hz (hertz)
Context Switching - ANSWERmoving programs in and out of the CPU
RAM (Random Access Memory) - ANSWERstores the computer's programs and data temporarily while power is on.
Factors:
DDR# stands for double data rate
* 3 * 4 * 5
GPU (graphics processing unit) - ANSWERA processor on a video card used to create graphics. It takes the load off the CPU. Heat Sinks - ANSWERA device used to absorb and pull away excessive or unwanted heat.
Power supply or Power Supply Unit (PSU) - ANSWERresponsible for taking power from either the mains power supply or a battery (in the case of laptops) and converting then delivering it to the computer components.
OR is a type of connective and the OR connective itself is known as a disjunction.
Logical NOT - ANSWEReffect of inverting whatever input it receives, so true becomes false and false becomes true; represents as !
NOT is a type of connective and the NOT connective itself is known as a negation.
Logical NAND - ANSWERan AND circuit followed by a NOT circuit
NAND is a type of connective and the NAND connective itself is known as an alternative denial
Logical NOR - ANSWERthe OR circuit followed by a NOT circuit
NOR is a type of connective and the NOR connective itself is known as a joint denial
Logical XOR (Exclusive OR) - ANSWERchecks if only one side or the other is true but not both; a crucial concept in encrypting data and one of the most simple forms of encryption/decryption
XOR is a type of connective and the XOR connective itself is known as an exclusive disjunction
Tautology - ANSWERan assertion or formula which is always true no matter the inputs
Contradiction - ANSWERwhere all the results of a logical statement are always false no matter the inputs
Contigency - ANSWERa logical statement where the outcomes could be true or false
contingent on the inputs
File System - ANSWERA method used by operating systems to store, retrieve, and organize files.
Cluster - ANSWERsmallest section of the disk that can be used to store a file
Two files can't use the same cluster, so the minimum file size on a file system with a cluster size of 32kb is 32kb. If you have a smaller file than 32kb, the remaining space
in the cluster will be wasted. This wasted space is known as 'slack space'.
FAT32 (File Allocation Table) - ANSWERIntroduced to Windows 95
* Larger (2 terabyte) volume sizes
