Midterm Exam Flashcards
A platform that refers to the operating system that runs on mobile devices like smartphones and tablets, enabling them to execute applications and provide services to users.
Mobile Operating Platform
A new generation of storage device used in
computers. SSDs store data using flash-
based memory, which is much faster than the
traditional hard disks they’ve come to replace.
Solid-State Drive (SSD)
Extremely portable lightweight, self-contained information management and communication devices. It has less memory and little storage. It is designed to run on machines that have lower speed processors, less memory, and fewer resources.
Netbook / Embedded System
Its an infrastructure and software framework that allows businesses, organizations, and individuals to access, store, and manage data and applications over the internet, rather than relying on local servers or personal computers.
Cloud Computing
Type of microprocessor architecture designed to simplify the instruction set of a CPU. This simplification aims to enhance performance by allowing the processor to execute instructions, optimize execution at a higher speed.
Reduced Instruction
It is a software program that offers trade services similar to the digital marketplace, connect users with service providers through technology, enabling real-time or scheduled services with convenience and efficiency.
E-commerce Platform / Online Marketplace
It is a software framework or service that provides tools and capabilities for collecting, processing, analyzing, and visualizing data to help organizations make informed decisions. These platforms typically support business intelligence (BI) on organizations which can improve operational efficiency, gain insights into customer behavior, optimize marketing strategies.
Business Intelligence (BI) Platform
Type of microprocessor based on the advance risc architecture, a highly efficient, low-power chips emphasizes simplicity, efficiency, and power optimization, making it a popular choice for a wide range of devices, including smartphones, tablets, IoT devices, and embedded systems.
RISC-based Microprocessor
This high speed small-sized chip-based memory in computer lies between the main memory and CPU. It is a high-performance and temporary type of memory that reduces the access time of data from main memory.
Cache Memory
A high-performance computer system designed to handle and process vast amounts of data efficiently, making it ideal for mission-critical applications that require reliability, scalability, and security. An enterprise computing for decades and are commonly used in industries like finance, healthcare, government, and retail.
Mainframe / Enterprise Computing
A framework or services that application programs rely on for standard operations. An application platform operates across five principal areas: development tools, execution services, data services, operating systems (OSes) and cloud services.
Application Platform
Its an online service or application that allows users to create, share, and engage with content, as well as interact with other users through social networking features.
Social Media Platform
A is a software system or service that enables users to create, manage, store, and publish digital content across various channels. These streamline the process of handling digital content by providing tools for content creation, editing, collaboration, and distribution.
Content Management System (CMS)
Its a specialized operating system (OS) designed to perform a specific task for a device that is not a computer.
Embedded Operating System
Its a high-performance computing system designed to perform extremely complex and computation-intensive tasks at incredibly high speeds. Mostly often used for scientific research, advanced simulations, and tasks that require massive amounts of data processing or mathematical calculations.
