The term booting comes from that little tab on the back a boot, called a bootstrap, that helps you pull your boot on.

Booting a computer refers to the process of powering on the computer and starting the operating system. The operating system is the program that makes all your software applications and hardware work together, so you can do the work you want to do. Once you hit the power button, it's all automatic from there. The boot process loads the operating system into main memory or the random access memory (RAM) installed on your computer. When you push the power button, power is sent to a small bootloader program, which loads the computer's operating system. The bootloader is located in the cache memory. The cache memory is a portion of your RAM that is directly attached to the central processing unit (CPU), which is the brains of your computer.

Once the bootloader program gets power, it starts the process of activating the operating system. If you were to see this happening, it would show a black screen with the text of the boot up processes.

During the boot process, the first thing that happens is the POST or Power on Self Test. When the POST is running, you will typically see lights flashing and hear a series of beeps. Basically the computer is performing a test to make sure all the attached hardware is communicating clearly with the CPU.

Once the POST is complete, the BIOS, or Basic Input/Output System, is activated. The BIOS is actually stored in read only memory (ROM). So, the bootloader program opens or wakes up the BIOS, which then finds the complete loading instructions on a bootable device, typically the hard disk.

Assume the existence of a bankaccount class. define a derived class, savingsaccount that contains two instance variables: the first a double, named interestrate, and the second an integer named interesttype. the value of the interesttype variable can be 1 for simple interest and 2 for compound interest. there is also a constructor that accepts two parameters: a double that is used to initialize the interestrate variable, and a string that you may assume will contain either "simple", or "compound", and which should be used to initialize the interesttype variable appropriately. there should also be a pair of functions getinterestrate and getinteresttype that return the values of the corresponding data members (as double and int respectively).

When making changes to optimize part of a processor, it is often the case that speeding up one type of instruction comes at the cost of slowing down something else. for example, if we put in a complicated fast floating-point unit, that takes space, and something might have to be moved farther away from the middle to accommodate it, adding an extra cycle in delay to reach that unit. the basic amdahl's law equation does not take into account this trade-off. a. if the new fast floating-point unit speeds up floating-point operations by, on average, 2ă—, and floating-point operations take 20% of the original program's execution time, what is the overall speedup (ignoring the penalty to any other instructions)? b. now assume that speeding up the floating-point unit slowed down data cache accesses, resulting in a 1.5ă— slowdown (or 2/3 speedup). data cache accesses consume 10% of the execution time. what is the overall speedup now? c. after implementing the new floating-point operations, what percentage of execution time is spent on floating-point operations? what percentage is spent on data cache accesses?
