The process of packaging and sending interface method parameters across thread or process boundaries.

SCSI - Small computer systems interface is a type of interface used for computer components such as hard drives, optical drives, scanners and tape drives. It is a competing technology to standard IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics).

LIFO (Last In First Out) stack is used in 8085. in this type of Stack the last stored information can be retrieved first.

An operating system is a program that acts as an intermediary between the user and the computer hardware. The purpose of an OS is to provide a convenient environment in which user can execute programs in a convenient and efficient manner. It is a resource allocator responsible for allocating system resources and a control program which controls the operation of the computer hardware.

Yes, single thread module

A blocking assignment is one in which the statements are executed sequentially, i.e., first statement is executed and variable is assigned  a value then second is executed and so on. A non blocking assignment is  one in which statements occurs conturrently, only non blocking assignments should be used in sequential circuit.

e.g.

initial

begin

a=b; //blocking

c<=a; //nonblocking

d=c; // blocking

end

In this example firstly the value of b is assigned to a and this value is assigned to c only after execution of first statement. the second and the third statements are executed simultaneously, i.e. value a ais assigned to c and previous value if c is assigned to d.

It is also called as post tested loop. It is used when it is necessary to execute the loop at least one time. Syntax:

do {
Loop body
} while (Expression);

Example:

int main(){
    int num,i=0;  
    do{
         printf("To enter press 1\n");
         printf("To exit press  2");
         scanf("%d",&num);
         ++i;
         switch(num){
             case 1:printf("You are welcome\n");break;
             default : exit(0);
         }
    }
    while(i<=10);
    return 0;
}

Output: 3 3 4 4

A list of processes waiting for a particular I/O device is called device queue.
