What is Valid / Invalid Bits?

By
When a page is accessed, if the valid/invalid bit is set to valid, then the page is simply accessed in main memory via the logical address entry in the table. If the page is not contained in physical memory, then a page fault is generated. This causes the program to try and load the page into memory. The system first checks if the requested address is valid. If not, then the process is terminated. If the address is valid, then the system checks for free frames. If a free frame is found, then the system loads the requested data from the disk and places it in the free frame. The valid/invalid bit is set to valid in the paging table, the logical address is set to the previously free frame, and the program can continue executing. If no free frames are present, then the system must swap out a currently used frame and place the requested data in the frame. The system, an algorithm such as LRU, MRU, etc. to determine which page to swap out. The system swaps out the old page, loads in the new page and then returns control to the process.

What is manipulator in C++?

By
Answer: Manipulators are special functions that can be included in the I/O statement to alter the format parameters of a stream. Table-2 shows some important manipulator functions that are frequently used. To access these manipulators, the file < iomanip.h > should be included in program.                               Table-2               Manipulators                                                    Equivalent ios function               set...

Explanation of Graphics in C programming

By
   The header file graphics.h should be included to use graphics related built in functions. Again, the variable gDriver is an integer variable that specifies graphics driver to be used. Device drivers are small programs which talk directly to the hardware. Graphics drivers are a subset of device drivers and are applicable only in the graphics mode. The initialization of this variable to DETECT is to set another variable gMode to the highest resolution available for the detected driver.  The value of this variable gDriver may be another than DETECT (e.g. 1 for CGA, 9 for VGA.). The variable gMode is an integer that specifies initial graphics mode.       The built in function initgraph() is for graphics initialization. The syntax for this is as   initgraph(&graphics_driver, &graphics_mode, path_to_driver);   path_to_driver specifies the directory path where initgraph() looks for graphics drivers ( .BGI files). Thi...

BIOS

By
BIOS stands for Basic Input Output System. It is is kind of OS pre- attached in the system Design to detect every I/O devices It holds basic drivers -checks all I/O devices -Loads main OS -Responsible for starting System switched on manufactured by AMI,Phonix,award,Baiostar POST error test, boots trap load, BIOS is unintrusive system. CMOS and BIOS are two different components of the motherboard. CMOS work as storage if BIOS. A basic software program containing all BIOS is permanently stored in the ROM. every essencial holds program Tresh passing without knowinig is called intrusive.
