It is a technique proposed by Lamport, used to order events in a distributed system without the use of clocks. This scheme is intended to order events consisting of the transmission of messages. Each system 'i' in the network maintains a counter Ci. Every time a system transmits a message, it increments its counter by 1 and attaches the time-stamp Ti to the message. When a message is received, the receiving system 'j' sets its counter Cj to 1 more than the maximum of its current value and the incoming time-stamp Ti. At each site, the ordering of messages is determined by the following rules: For messages x from site i and y from site j, x precedes y if one of the following conditions holds....(a) if Ti

When hierarchical routing is used, the routers are divided into what we call regions, with each router knowing all the details about how to route packets to destinations within its own region, but knowing nothing about the internal structure of other regions

DRAM is not the best, but it’s cheap, does the job, and is available almost everywhere you look. DRAM data resides in a cell made of a capacitor and a transistor. The capacitor tends to lose data unless it’s recharged every couple of milliseconds, and this recharging tends to slow down the performance of DRAM compared to speedier RAM types.

There are 12 interrupts in 8085.

In case of Move A to B it will move whatever the value of A into B.It mean it will move numeric, alphanumeric and alphabatic value.

In case of COMPUTE B=A it will assign the value of A into B. But in case of compute only numeric value will be compute.

Cache momory is a small high-speed memory. it is used for temporary storage of data & information between the main memory and the CPU(center processing unit). The cache memory is only in RAM.

Cache memory is random access memory (RAM) that a computer microprocessor can access more quickly than it can access regular RAM. AS the microprocessor processes data, it looks in the cache memory and if it finds the data there.

There is no difference except for the fact that the first one gives a hint that the function fun() is probably in another source file.

MAC - Media Access Control, address is a globally unique identifier assigned to network devices, and therefore it is often referred to as hardware or physical address.

MAC addresses are 6-byte (48-bits) in length, and are written in MM:MM:MM:SS:SS:SS format.
