Process Management

1. Focus on how both operating systems handle their process management when it comes to many
processes request for CPU resources. You may include relevant scenario.

We know Windows and Ubuntu poses a lot of difference in visual and usage wise. Another major
difference is the process management which describe the management of Process and Threads.
2. Explain the operating system effect with various CPU type (Intel i7, Intel Xeon AMD, SPARC, etc)

CPU (Central Processing Unit) comes in multifarious type from both processor giants which is Intel
and AMD.

i.
Intel has come from very far since 1971, and giving out customers top notching
processors for modern pc build, laptops, smartphone and even server computers.
This year their 8-Gen beast is out. Lets compare their well-known version of CPUs
which is CORE i3, i5, i7. CORE i3 and i5 are both midrange CPUs and CORE i7 is a High-
end CPU in the market. The difference between all of this is the number of cores, clock
speed, L1-L3 cache memory and hyperthreading. CORE i3 processors always comes in 2
cores, which means heavy loads of processors might cost more time in processing
computer instructions faster. CORE i5 which sometimes comes is 2 cores too but
provides Hyperthreading, this means a CPU with physically 2 cores with hyperthreading
enable it to provide a mere efficiency of 4 cores logically (DIAGRAM 1).

This shows my CORE i5

CPU has physically 2
cores but logically 4
cores. Which means a
physical Core is
separated virtually into 2
cores to the OS and the
OS gives a 2 Core
multitasking to a single
physical core for better
compute time. This is
how a OS utilize
Hyperthreading.
DIAGRAM 1

Core i5 and i7 also provide high performance when the code of a intel processor ends
with K also known as UNLOCKED FOR OVERCLOCKING. Where you can set default clock
frequency to MAX as default. For an example, Intel CORE i7-8700K, the latest and the
fastest processor has a base frequency of 3.70Ghz but can clocked to 4.70Ghz as default.
(DIAGRAM 2).
 Diagram 2

This shows that processor base frequency is lower than turbo frequency, which defines that
the OS could be better in performance if the Turbo boost is activated and clocked higher for
faster output.

And then theres another type of processor known as Intel Xeon (Diagram 3). Its a server or
workstation processor for heavy duty/ task. If you want to make it run for normal windows pc, its
not impossible but it requires a motherboard which can take up to 2 to 4 processor at once. This will
make the OS powerful but bottlenecks the capability of your OS. Moreover it doesnt have any
INTEGRATED GRAPHICS like Intel HD Graphics. Suitable OS such as Windows Server, Ubuntu Server
ad etc.

AMD (Advanced Micro Device) released its first processor in 1978 and never fails to
deliver equally powerful processor to customers as its rival Intel. Just like Intel, AMD has
a wide range of processors such as Athlon, FX series, Phenom, Ryzen , Sempron and
Epyc. They also build some APU (Accelerated Processing Unit), quite same to CPU but
additionally performs graphic processing too which compares to INTEL.(DIAGRAM 4) OS
can instruct the CPU to even perform video rendering, game processing using CPU faster
instead of GPUs.

Diagram 4
AMD has also released their flagship which is the AMD Threadripper and Epyc.
Threadripper (DIAGRAM 5) is daily uses of heavy duty or gaming rig pc build for a better
performance which is slightly equivalent Intel Core i7 and good at thread handling.

The server or workstation supported by AMD Epyc the latest version of server processor
which is a rival for Intel Xeon and also suitable for server OS such as Windows Server
and Ubuntu Server.(Diagram 6).
