25
is a method where the information to be organized is sorted into groups to allow for efficient and sequential processing
Batch Processing
26
This is a method that utilizes Internet connections and equipment directly attached to a computer
Online Processing
27
Example of Online Processing
Cloud Computing
28
This technique has the ability to respond almost immediately to various signals in order to acquire and process information
Real-Time Processing
29
This is required where the results are displayed immediately or in lowest time possible
Real-Time Processing
30
This method is commonly utilized by remote workstations connected to one big central workstation or server
Distributed Processing
31
All the end machines run on a fixed software located at a particular place and make use of exactly same information and sets of instruction
Distributed Processing
32
This type of processing perhaps the most widely used types of data processing
Multi-Processing
33
The breakdown of jobs which needs be performed are sent to different CPUs working parallel within the mainframe
Multi-Processing
34
Time based used of CPU is the core of this data processing type
Time sharing
35
The single CPU is used by multiple users
Time sharing
36
All users share same CPU but the time allocated to all users might differ
Time sharing
37
is the production of the required information, which may be input in future
Output
38
are interpreted as data, facts, information etc. depending on the interpreter's relation to the system.
inputs and outputs
39
A term commonly used synonymously with data or storage (codes) processing system is
information system
40
is the transformation of the input data to a more meaningful form (information) in the CPU
Processing
41
With regard particularly to electronic data processing, the corresponding concept is referred to as
electronic data processing system
42
the collected data is converted into machine-readable form by an input device, and send into the machine
Data Input
43
data is transferred manually from one place to another. This method of data processing is very slow and errors may occur in the output
manual data processing
44
This type of data processing forms the very primitive stage when technology was not available or it was not affordable
manual data processing
45
data is processed by using different devices like typewriters, mechanical printers or other mechanical devices
mechanical data processing method
46
This method is avoided as far as possible because of the very high probability of error, labor intensive and very time consuming.
manual data processing
47
This method of data processing is faster and more accurate than manual data processing
mechanical data processing method
48
Any device which facilitates data processing can be considered under this method of data processing
mechanical data processing method
49
This method of processing data is very fast and accurate
Electronic Data Processing
50
is the fastest and best available method with highest reliability and accuracy
Electronic Data Processing
51
It is used mainly for information recording and research. Its processing method is a part of automatic processing method.
Online Processing
52
This method at times known as direct or random access processing
Online Processing
53
Under this method the job received by the system is processed at same time of receiving
Online Processing
54
This can be considered and often mixed with real-time processing
Online Processing
55
This system features random and rapid input of transaction and user defined/ demanded direct access to databases/content when needed
Online Processing
56
These involve high maintenance and upfront cost attributed to very advanced technology and computing power.
Real-Time Processing
57
The nature of processing of this type of data processing requires use of internet connection and data is stored/used online.
Real-Time Processing
58
No lag is expected/acceptable in this type and receiving and processing of transaction is carried out simultaneously
Real-Time Processing
59
Time saved is maximum in this case as the output is seen in real time
Real-Time Processing
60
It is used almost everywhere and forms the basis of all computing devices relying on processors
Multi-Processing
61
The task or sets of operations are divided between CPUs available simultaneously thus increasing efficiency and throughput
Multi-Processing
62
Since multiple users can uses this type it is also referred as
multi access system
63
This is done by providing a terminal for their link to main CPU and the time available is calculated by dividing the CPU time between all the available users as scheduled.
Time sharing
64
means that instead of all the computer hardware and software you're using sitting on your desktop, or somewhere inside your company's network, it's provided for you as a service by another company and accessed over the Internet, usually in a completely seamless way
Cloud computing
65
is the process of obtaining data in a computer-sensible form for at the point of origin (the source document itself is prepared in a machine-sensible form for input)
Data capture
66
involves getting the original data to the ‘processing center’, transcribing it, converting it from one medium to another, and finally getting it into the computer.
Data collection
