1-the differences between RISC and CISC.

2-DMA
Direct memory access (DMA) is a feature of modern
computers that allows certain hardware subsystems within
the computer to access system memory independently of the
central processing unit (CPU).

4-C Programming is OOP or not

Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a programming
paradigm that uses "objects" data structures
consisting of data fields and methods together with
their interactions to design applications and computer
programs.
- "( "OOP)
-
.

C is not an 'object-oriented' language. It has no concept

of classes, objects, polymorphism, inheritance.

6-RTOS and its types

A real-time operating system (RTOS) is an operating system (OS) intended to serve real-
time application requests
RTOS can be classified into three types :

1. Hard RTOS : These type of RTOS strictly adhere to the deadline associated with the tasks.
Missing on a deadline can have catastrophic affects. The air-bag example we discussed in the
beginning of this article is example of a hard RTOS as missing a deadline there could cause a
life.

2. Firm RTOS : These type of RTOS are also required to adhere to the deadlines because missing
a deadline may not cause a catastrophic affect but could cause undesired affects, like a huge
reduction in quality of a product which is highly undesired.

3. Soft RTOS : In these type of RTOS, missing a deadline is acceptable. For example On-line
Databases.
