The terms "product" and "process" are important in the context of software development. The basic difference between a product and a process is that a process is a set of steps to guide the project in order to obtain the appropriate product, whereas the product is the final result of the software project. In this article, we will discuss more about "product" and "process" and how they are different from each other. What is a Product? In software engineering, any software developed as per the requirements of the client is referred to as a product. In other words, a product ... Read More

The most basic difference between cohesion and coupling is that coupling is the representation of relationships between modules which uses the concept of inter−module, while cohesion is the intramodule representation of the relationship between modules. Read this article to find out more about Cohesion and Coupling and how these two important concepts are different from each other. What is Cohesion? In computer programming, cohesion is an indication that shows the relationship within modules. Cohesion provides the information about the functional strength of the modules. The greater the cohesion, the better will be the program design. Cohesion is basically the dependency ... Read More

Both microprocessors and microcontrollers are types electronic devices that come in the form of integrated circuits (ICs) and are used in different modern electronic equipment such as computers, laptops, washing machines, air conditioners, and many other automated electronic gadgets. The primary function of both microprocessors and microcontrollers is to automate the processes. Read this article to find out more about microprocessors and microcontrollers and how they are different from each other. What is a Microprocessor? As its name implies, it is a processing device that converts data into information based on some sets of instructions. It is a very ... Read More

SIMM and DIMM are types of memory modules which are designed to eliminate the use of Dual Inline Package (DIP) chips because the installation of DIP chips is difficult. The basic difference between the two is that SIMM has only one side that is usable at a time because it has only one set of connector, whereas DIMM has different usable pins at each side. Read this article to learn more about SIMM and DIMM and how they are different from each other. What is SIMM? SIMM stands for Single In-Line Memory Module. SIMM is a type of memory module ...

Raster scan and random scan are two of the most popular approaches used to display the pictures and images of objects on the screen. Raster scan is a technique in which a rectangular pattern of the image is captured on screen, whereas random scan is one in which the picture is constructed through an electron beam. Read through this article to find out more about raster scan and random scan and how they are different from each other. What is Rater Scan? In raster scan, the electron beam is swept across the screen, one row at a time from top ... Read More

SIMD and MIMD are types of computer architectures that are used to improve the performance of certain types of computational tasks. The basis of this classification is the number of data and instruction streams. SIMD, short for Single Instruction Multiple Data, computer architecture can execute a single instruction on multiple data streams. On the other hand, the MIMD (Multiple Instruction Multiple Data) computer architectures can execute several instructions on multiple data streams. Read this article to find out more about SIMD and MIMD architectures and how they are different from each other. What is SIMD? SIMD is a form of ... Read More

Both multiprocessors and multicomputers are the types of parallel computing systems. The basic difference between a multiprocessor and a multicomputer is that a multiprocessor is a single computer system containing multiple processors interconnected with the common I/O and memory devices, whereas a multicomputer is a system consists of several autonomous computers connected in a network and each computer has its own I/O and memory devices, and other computing resources. Read through this article to find out more about multiprocessors and multicomputers and how they are different from each other. What is Multiprocessor? A multiprocessor is a data processing system that ... Read More

Both interlaced and progressive scan are types of raster scanning techniques extensively used in analog video systems. The basic difference between interlaced scan and progressive scan is that the interlaced scan employs the scanning of even and odd marked lines of a picture which are displayed consecutively as two isolated fields that are superimposed to show one frame on the screen, while the progressive scan employs a single sweep over the whole picture at a time. In this article, we will discuss the important differences between interlaced and progressive scan. Let's start with some basics of interlaced scan and progressive ... Read More

SOP (Sum of Product) and POS (Product of Sum) are the methods of representing a reduced logic expression. The basic difference between the two is that SOP expresses a Boolean function as a sum (logical OR) of product (logic AND) terms, while POS expresses a logic function as a product (logic AND) of sum (logic OR) terms. Read this article to learn more about SOP and POS and how they are different from each other. What is SOP? Sum of Product (SOP) is a method of representing a logic function by using minterms. The expression of a SOP includes product ... Read More

There are two types of addressing modes, namely, direct addressing mode and indirect addressing mode. In direct addressing mode, the actual address of the data is mentioned in the instructions itself. On the other hand, indirect addressing mode contains the effective address of the memory location where the actual address of the data resides. Read this article to find out more about direct and indirect addressing modes and how they are different from each other. Let's start with a basic introduction of these two types of addressing modes. What is Direct Addressing Mode? The Direct addressing mode is one that ... Read More
