When the user begins to interact with the computer, the software being used will send out a system call that will specify a task that a hardware component must perform in order for the software to continue functioning and send further requests,

Looking back from when I began my career, I can say I came a long way learning the concepts of understanding the expectations that arose from all my positions. In my first job just after graduating, I was appointed as a Business Accountant of a multinational company. Since then, I was caught in the myth that people who were in leadership positions or high ranking were leaders. Being in a junior position, I could have the least effect on any new ideas as my voice seems to have landed in deaf ears. I have seen how those businesses were not in line with their Missions and Values only to find later that many of the staff had left the company.

An interrupt is used in a hardware context i.e., can be used to signal the completion of an I/O to obviate the need for device

The program by its self is just instructions writing in code where a process is an active program which has been executed. The CPU executes one instruction at a time until the process completes.

The processor receives the instructions from the operating system takes the information from the software and hardware then gives instructions to the processor, in simple terms the processor in one cycle fetches an instruction then decodes the instruction and finally executes the instruction when this is done it returns to the original step of fetching a new instruction.

addition, the policy indirectly supports the families of the elderly. It does so by offering services to caregivers that prevent or shorten costly nursing home placements, relieving financial strain, and providing educational programs to give a better understanding of aging. However, due to insufficient funding OAA services have restricted access and cannot reach all the elderly in need. Statistical demographics reveal that 27% of seniors that are receiving services are below the poverty line, recipients are more likely to be female (71% vs 57%), twice as likely to be rural, more likely to live alone, have less income, less educated, and less healthy than the average senior (Herrera 2013).

The processor (otherwise known as CPU) is the very soul and performance core of the computer system; it is what allows the operating system and other software applications to-run. Every program demands dedication from the processor to decode commands that are then actionedinside the CPU to make them work.When a program is running, the CPU has to make every command work consistently one after the other. However, modern processors have the power to process commands side by side. This means that the quicker the commands are executed, the quicker the program responds to the user. Central Processing Units (CPUs) play an important role when it comes to maintaining

In the past processors required only a boost in their clock speed to have an improvement in efficiency, but as technology evolved, companies like Intel, a major processor manufacturer, came up with

Mouse; Moving the mouse in any direction causes the cursor to respond on the display, the scroll button can be moved up, down and used to click and the mouse buttons can be used to click and/or double click, all these can cause events within a program.

An interrupt is used by device controller to inform the CPU that the operation by Device controller is finished. In general, an occurrence of any event can be signaled by interrupt, from hardware or software.

Access to services such as a day centre can support the additional needs of an individual with multiple conditions and/or disabilities. We have a customer with very painful legs, they swell easily and she can only walk very small distances. At the day centre, she can participate in a Pilates class specifically for people in a wheelchair this is inclusive to her needs and enables her to participate in exercises suited specifically to her needs that will help to improve the physical strength in her legs. Similarly, we have a customer with MS, she attends daycentre on a weekly basis, because of attending daycentre she is currently on a waiting list to attend physiotherapy specifically for customers with MS.

Process scheduling handles the removal and selection of any process in to the CPU based on any of the requirements from the particular process algorithm Process scheduling is an essential part of a Multiprogramming operating systems. Such operating systems allow more than one process to be loaded into the executable memory at a time and the loaded process shares the CPU using time multiplexing
