The process by which the CPU responds to an interrupt signal from a client or device.

A memory location used to detect the specific interrupt-handling code.

A technique where one unit checks the status of another at regular intervals.

The exchange of signals between devices to confirm readiness for data exchange.

A temporary data storage area for devices that process data at different speeds.

An operating system based on the Linux kernel and GNU C Library.

A free, open-source, real-time OS for embedded systems that supports multiple threads.

A system that manages and guides devices automatically without human intervention.

Devices that provide feedback to control systems to help manage actuators.

A control system that opens doors based on sensor feedback to detect motion.

The basic unit of information in computer systems, representing a value of 1 or 0.

A group of 8 bits that can represent a single character.

A number system that uses only two digits: 0 and 1.

The standard numerical system using ten digits (0-9).

A signal to the CPU to temporarily suspend a task for a higher-priority one.

A method where one program runs at a time, completing before the next begins.

Multiple programs are loaded in memory, but only one is executed by the CPU at a time.

Simultaneous execution of tasks that share a CPU, completing quickly.

A system with more than one CPU core, allowing for concurrent processing.

Ability of a program to execute multiple threads simultaneously without interference.

Transferring processes out of RAM to hard disk temporarily for execution management.

Mechanism allowing a system to use secondary storage as if it were RAM.

Excessive page swapping leading to poor system performance.

Use of secondary memory to enhance primary memory.

Features like word length, bus size, and cores that affect CPU speed.

Software emulations of operating systems that abstract the host environment.

Utilizes high bandwidth, powerful routers, and stable networks for audio/video streaming.

Quality of VoIP calls depends on available bandwidth and usage.

Manages memory and processors to allow multiple programs to run concurrently.

Holds processed data and instructions that the CPU uses directly.

Volatile memory where data can be read or written while powered.

Type of RAM that retains data as long as power is supplied, faster but more expensive.

Type of RAM that needs periodic refreshing to retain data.

Non-volatile memory holding critical instructions for startup.

Permanent data storage with mass capacity, ensuring data integrity.

OS function assigning time slices for process execution.

Ensures each process has its memory space to prevent interference.
