  LESSON VII

  Storage Hardware: Primary Storage - the main memory of a computer(a volatile form of storage , i.e. the data and instructions are lost when the computer is turned off.) Secondary (Auxiliary) Storage (a file cabinet)(a nonvolatile form of storage, i.e. the data and instructions remain intact whien the computer is turned off.)

  Слайд 11

  Function of Main Memory or RAM

  To act as a buffer between the CPU and the rest of the computer system components The amount of RAM in a minicomputer directly affects the level of sophistication of the software used.

  Data Representation:

  - in a binary form or a binary code Two most commonly used codes: ASCII (the American Standard Code for Information Interchange) EBCDIC (Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code) – the most popular code used for IBM and IBM-compatible mainframe computers

  LESSON IX

  General Features of Operating Systems An operating system - a master control program which controls the functionsof the computer system as a whole and the running of application programs. All computers do not use the same operating systems. Some software is only designed to run under the control of specific operating systems. Some operating systems are adopted as ‘industry standards”. Mainframe computers usually process several application programs concurrently, this is known as multiprogramming (multi-tasking in the context of microcomputers). It requires a powerful operating system incorporating work scheduling facilities to control the switching between programs. This entails reading in data for one program while the processor is performing computations on another and printing out results on yet another. In multi-user environments an operating system is required to control terminal operations on a shared access basis as only one user can access the system at any moment of time. The operating system allocates control to each terminal in turn. Some environments operate in concurrent batch and real-time mode. An operating system is stored on disk and has to be booted into the internal memory (RAM)

  LESSON X

  Computer Networks Link computers by communication lines and software protocols.

• 
  Слайд 16

  Text A.Types of Networks:

  LAN- Local Area Network (a localized network usually in one building or a group of buildings close together, but now it is possible to connect LANs remotely over telephone links so that they look as though they are a single LAN) WAN – Wide Area Network (a network connected over long distance by telephone lines)

• 
  Слайд 17

  Text B: Network Configurations

  Star - all access devices are linked directly to the central computer Switched – the central switch is used to connect different devices on the network directly Ring – each device is attached to a network shaped as a continuous loop Bus/Ethernet – consists of one piece of cable terminated at each end to which all devices are connected. Each device is able to broadcast a message when it has detected silence for a fixed period of time.

  LESSON XII

  Computer Viruses A computer virus – an unwanted program that has entered your system without you knowing about it. Generally consists of two parts: the infector and the detonator. Computer virus like a disease can spread (via floppies transported from computer to computer, or networks) to other computers. Generally, the work of the virus is either damaging data on your disks, altering what you see on your computer display, or doing something else that interferes with the normal use of your computer.
