Whereas

Thermal Energy :: Thermal Energy is the Internal Energy stored in the system maintained at a certain Temperature.

Windows NT uses protection mechanism called rings provides by the process to implement separation between the user mode and kernel mode.

It is a useful, memory-saving technique for multiprogrammed timesharing systems. A Reentrant Procedure is one in which multiple users can share a single copy of a program during the same period. Reentrancy has 2 key aspects: The program code cannot modify itself, and the local data for each user process must be stored separately. Thus, the permanent part is the code, and the temporary part is the pointer back to the calling program and local variables used by that program. Each execution instance is called activation. It executes the code in the permanent part, but has its own copy of local variables/parameters. The temporary part associated with each activation is the activation record. Generally, the activation record is kept on the stack.

Note: A reentrant procedure can be interrupted and called by an interrupting program, and still execute correctly on returning to the procedure.

We know that, the collection of programs which performs specific tasks in a computer is called as software. Software in a computer is of two types. They are :

1. Aplication Software

2. System Software

System software is a computer program that performs the basic functionaility of a computer i.e, running a systems hardware and applications like loading programs, saving data, displaying, etc...
