It is a prerequisite to understand the terms "process synchronization", "critical section", and "inter-process communication" before we proceed to discuss the Bakery Algorithm in Process Synchronization. What is Process Synchronization? In a multiprocessing system, the process synchronization is a method of coordinating execution of multiple processes so it is ensured ... Read More

In operating systems, a bad block is a sector on a dick drive or a flash of the computer system which is not usable due to a permanent damage to the disk like physical damage of the disk surface or failed transistors of flash memory. In this article, we will ... Read More

In operating system design, the kernel memory allocation is a critical aspect which involves the allocation of memory for kernel level operations and data structures. When a process is executing in user mode and it requests the additional memory, then the kernel maintains the allocation of pages from the list ... Read More

An electric conductor is defined as a material that allows the flow of electric current or electric charges across it. In this article, we will discuss the differences between two important types of electric conductors: semiconductors and superconductors. What is a Semiconductor? Semiconductors are defined as a category of electric ... Read More

In communication systems, modulation is a process of changing the characteristics of a data carrier wave so that it can cover the desired distance for data transmission. Modulation is a necessary process in communication systems to increase the reliability of data communication. In the modulation process, an additional signal, called ... Read More
