In DMA-based I/O, A) CPU is relieved from data transfer and is interrupted after every word has been transferred to initiate the next word transfer.
B) cycle stealing can slow down the CPU computation, but off-loading the data-transfer work to a DMA controller generally improves the total system performance.
C) interrupt mechanism is not used.
D) data is transferred to/from a single block of memory, but not to/from multiple blocks.

Technician a says that if a valve is open when a piston rises to the very top of a cylinder, the piston may actually strike the valve head and cause serious engine damage. technician b says if the camshaft is located in the engine block, then the engine is called an overhead valve engine, ohv engine, or an in-block camshaft. who is right? a. b only b. both a and b c. a only d. neither a nor b

Assume that minutes is an int variable whose value is 0 or positive. write an expression whose value is "undercooked" or "soft-boiled" or "medium-boiled" or "hard-boiled" or "overcooked" based on the value of minutes. in particular: if the value of minutes is less than 2 the expression's value is "undercooked"; 2-4 would be a "soft-boiled", 5-7 would be "medium-boiled", 8-11 would be "hard-boiled" and 12 or more would be a "overcooked".

Kirk found a local community college with a two-year program and he is comparing the cost with that of an out-of-state two-year school. what is the expected total cost for one year at the local community college if kirk lives at home? what is the expected total cost for one year at the out-of-state school if kirk lives on campus?
