Compression techniques can be divided into two major categories,
• Lossless Compression
• Lossy Compression
Lossless compression:
It means that a given set of data will undergo a loss of accuracy or
resolution after a cycle of compression and decompression.
Lossy Compression:
It produces compressed output that is exactly the same as the input.
5. Define Multiprocessing?
Multiprocessing is defined as the ability to support the concurrent
execution of several tasks on multiple processors. This implies that ability
to use more than one CPU for executing programs. The processors can be

programs and give the illusion that they are running simultaneously by
switching control between them.
Two types of multitasking are used:
• Preemptive
• No preemptive
7. Define Multithreading?

of execution within a single address space. Older operating systems
achieve multitasking by creating multiple processes, which creates a great
deal of overhead.

Disk arrays store enormous of information and are becoming an important
storage technology for firewall servers and other electronic commerce
servers.
CD-ROM:
