Multiprocessor
A Multiprocessor is a computer system with two or more central processing
units (CPUs) share full access to a common RAM. The main objective of using
a multiprocessor is to boost the system’s execution speed, with other objectives
being fault tolerance and application matching.
Multiple applications.
Advantages:
Improved performance:
Better scalability:
Increased reliability:
Reduced cost:
Enhanced parallelism:
Q. 2. What is SMP?
SMP systems are better suited for online transaction processing than massively
parallel processing (MPP) systems in which many users access the same
database in a relatively simple set of transactions. Unlike MPP systems, SMP
systems can dynamically balance the workload among computers to serve more
users faster.
Once a process is executed for the given time period that process is preempted
and another process executes for the given time period.

This algorithm is simple and easy to implement and the most important is thing
is this algorithm is starvation-free as all processes get a fair share of CPU.
It is important to note here that the length of time quantum is generally from 10
to 100 milliseconds in length.
4. In this algorithm, the time slice should be the minimum that is assigned to a
specific task that needs to be processed.
Q.4 How does dynamic loading aid in better memory space utilization?
Caching is the ability to store data, so that future requests for that data can be
quickly served.
Partitioning involves dividing the storage device into separate sections, known as
partitions, which allow the operating system to organize and manage data
efficiently.
1. Organizing Data: Partitioning allows the hard drive to be divided into separate
sections, which helps in organizing data and programs. It also allows for multiple
operating systems to be installed on the same drive.
4. Data Clearing: Formatting also clears any existing data on the partition,
ensuring a clean slate for the new operating system installation.
Overall, partitioning and formatting are essential steps to prepare the hard drive
for the installation of an operating system, ensuring that it functions properly and
can store and retrieve data effectively

It used vulnerabilities which have long been patched. It cannot harm you. VIT is
another ELF virus, this time from 2000. Since Ubuntu didn't exist seven years
ago, you won't be running a system that old and won't be infected.
To help protect Ubuntu from viruses and malware, users should follow best
security practices such as keeping the system up to date, using strong
passwords, being cautious of the software they install, and using security tools
like firewalls and antivirus software when necessary. It's important to remember
that no operating system is completely immune to security threats, so users
should always remain vigilant and take steps to secure their systems regardless
of the platform they are using.
