Advanced Startup Options in Windows 8

Yesterday my laptop become unusable state,while trying to make a change in the registry.as a result of this,it took a start up error.So I peep into recovery method using Advanced Startup Options in Windows 8.Here I am going to give you a brief discussion of those options.

The quickest way to start Advanced Startup Options is from PC Settings -> General -> Advanced startup

Refresh your PC is available from the Troubleshoot screen and says If your PC isn't running well, you can refresh it without losing your files.Your saved files, personalization settings, and Windows Store apps all remain. Any non-Windows-Store installed programs will be removed and PC settings will be defaulted.

Reset your PC is available from the Troubleshoot screen and says If you want to remove all of your files, you can reset your PC completely.the process of removing all of the apps, programs, and data from your computer.

System Restore is available from the Advanced options screen and says Use a restore point recorded on your PC to restore Windows.For example, if you suspect some driver or registry issue is preventing Windows 8 from starting properly, but find yourself in the unfortunate situation of not being able to start Windows to then start System Restore, this option becomes very valuable.

Command Prompt is available from the Advanced options screen and says Use the Command Prompt for advanced troubleshooting.Most commands that are available from the Command Prompt in Windows are also available in the Command Prompt included here as part of Advanced Startup Options.

The Power of MATLAB software

MATLAB which stands for matrix laboratory is a powerful software that  used in industry in most occasions.I got chance to practice this software in my computer science degree program in Image Procesing course unit.A brief introduction of this software is given below.

MATLAB® is a well known interactive software environment and programming language available from The MathWorks. More than a million engineers, scientists, and students use MATLAB for a growing variety of tasks, including:  

1. Data acquisition
2. Data analysis and visualization
3. Waveform generation
4. Application creation, including with graphical user interfaces
5. Test system developments
6. Algorithm development
7. Modeling, simulation, and prototyping

MATLAB’s interactive environment makes it possible to perform computationally intensive tasks faster than with traditional programming languages such as C, C++, and Fortran. The MATLAB Instrument Control Toolbox lets you configure and control instruments, such as oscilloscopes, function generators, and analytical instruments, directly from MATLAB®. The toolbox enables you to communicate with instruments via instrument drivers, such as IVI and VXIplug&play, and commonly used communication protocols, such as GPIB, VISA, TCP/IP, and UDP. With the Instrument Control Toolbox product, you can generate data in MATLAB to send out to an instrument, or read data into MATLAB for analysis and visualization.

MATLAB® is a registered trademark of The MathWorks, Inc.

Difference between Sleep and Hibernate

Recently I messed up with the terms sleep and hibernate.so I googled those terms carefully.these are the things which i found to distinguish the terms.

Sleep is a power-saving state that allows a computer to quickly resume full-power operation (typically within several seconds) when you want to start working again. Putting your computer into the sleep state is like pausing a DVD player—the computer immediately stops what it’s doing and is ready to start again when you want to resume working.

Hibernation is a power-saving state designed primarily for laptops. While sleep puts your work and settings in memory and draws a small amount of power, hibernation puts your open documents and programs on your hard disk, and then turns off your computer.Of all the power-saving states in Windows, hibernation uses the least amount of power. On a laptop, use hibernation when you know that you won't use your laptop for an extended period and won't have an opportunity to charge the battery during that time.

Further more.....

I found another term that is Hybrid Sleep

The Hybrid Sleep mode is a combination of the Sleep and Hibernate modes meant for desktop computers. It puts any open documents and applications both in memory and on your hard disk, and then puts your computer into a low-power state, allowing you to quickly wake the computer and resume your work. The Hybrid Sleep mode is enabled by default in Windows on desktop computers and disabled on laptops. When enabled, it automatically puts your computer into Hybrid Sleep mode when you put it into Sleep mode.

What are Virtual Machines,Emulators and Clones

In these days we are learning about operating system concepts in my degree program.I'm fond of experiencing different operating systems in my laptop.while i was searching the web for additional details i found this different tools which helps to support my effort.webmasters using multiple browsers, and even just the ordinary person uses these tools who wants to test different software without the latter harming their real machine.as an example, if you use a Mac, and want to run Windows programs alongside your Mac software.

Virtual Machines ("VM") allow you to run another operating system (or even the same one) on top of the current system you're currently running. For example, it's possible to run (say) Windows XP on your Windows 7 machine in a separate window. This requires that your computer currently uses an x86 (32 or 64 bit) processor (be it Intel or AMD). The virtual machine then visualizes the hardware so that the guest operating system (the one you're running in a separate window) thinks it the only one running on the machine. The programs running in the guest are isolated from your main computer, making such a system very useful for programmers

Emulators are slightly different. emulators are software that run on top of another operating system that attempt to imitate the entire operating system from its user interface down to its API.They allow you to run an operating system that requires (say) an Intel/AMD x86 processor on a completely different CPU (processor). For example, it may allow you to run Windows XP on a PowerPC processor (something that normally won't work, since Windows XP requires an x86 processor). In other words, unlike the VM which only has to virtualize some of the hardware, emulators have to emulate everything, including the CPU. As such, emulators tend to be much slower than VMs

Emulation layers are merely API layers that pretends to a program that it is running on top of Windows. The emulation layer runs on top of another full fledged operating system.It allows you to run Windows programs in your machine even though you are not actually running Windows.

Clones are software that attempt to mimic the entire operating system from its user interface down to its underlying programming interface (or Application Programming Interface, "API"). It can run directly on hardware, such as a new machine, and operates as a complete system on its own.

Emulators are software that run on top of another operating system that attempt to imitate the entire operating system from its user interface down to its API.
