Assignment-2 Rewrite The Following Paragraph in The Personal Style (Active Voice) - 5marks

A distributed processing system provides a partial solution to the problems of a simple time sharing system for computerizing a factory. A simple time sharing system faces issues of everything grinding to a halt if the central computer fails, and saturation as more users increase response times. A distributed processing system uses a powerful central computer alongside microcomputers at each user station, allowing local processing to continue even if the central computer fails and reducing its workload. Distributing processing across multiple computers in this way allows a factory to be computerized while avoiding downtime and saturation issues.

Rewrite the following paragraph in the personal style (active voice). 5Marks

Last summer our house was painted by me. First, the exterior was washed using warm water and

a mild detergent. Then all of the chinks in the walls were sealed with putty. After the putty had

had a chance to dry, the exterior could be painted. A latex paint was used because it is easy to

apply and cleans up with water. A whole week was needed to finish this part of the job. A color

was used that was very close to the original color. When the job was finished, a great deal of

satisfaction was felt by me. Even my dad said that a good job was done

Disambiguate the following sentences. 5Marks

1. To take our children to the party we all used we left our cars and then them there.
2. This should help to prevent piracy of CDs by Americans.
3. We investigated lions and tigers and elephants that are on the endangered species list.
4. We surveyed various immigrants: Tunisians, Moroccans and Senegalese who had entered the
country before 2015.
5. After opening the program, the email can be sent to multiple recipients.
6. The fire broke out in the forest bordering the river but was extinguished before any major
damage could be done by the local fire service.
7. Instructions for use: These articles are poisonous. If there are children in the house, keep them
locked up safely.
8. A full range of games were presented for the men with no balls (e.g. darts, diving, bungee
jumping).
9. Being over 500 years old, Dr Alvarez handled the painting with great care.
10. Preserved in a frozen state, Professor Chang examined the samples.

Make Précis/summary of the following and give a suitable title.

In order to computerize a factory, we need to develop a time sharing system. By computerizing a


factory, we mean that we want to make computer use available to as many people in the factory
as possible as cheaply as possible. However, there are two potential problems of a simple time
sharing system. The first potential problem is, “what happens if the computer is not working?”
the answer to this question is that everything grinds to a halt. In a situation where people have
become dependent on computer, not much gets done until the computer is up and running again.
The old saying about putting all your eggs in one basket comes to one’s mind here.

The second potential problem of the simple time sharing system is saturation. Saturation is the
result of an increase in number of users. As the number of users increases, the time it takes the
computer to do each users task also increases. Eventually, the computer’s response to each user
becomes unreasonably long. People get very upset about the time they have to wait

A partial solution for the two problems of a simple time sharing system is to use a distributed
processing system. The system has a powerful central computer with a large memory and a high
speed printer. Moreover, each user has a micro computer instead of a simply a video display
terminal .In other words, each user station is an independently functioning micro computer with
a C.P.U, ROM, RAM and probably magnetic and optical disc memory. This means that a person
can do many tasks on the micro computer without having to use the large computer at all. Since
micro computers are connected to the large computer through a network, a user can access the
computing power, memory or other resources of the large computer when needed

Distributing the processing to multiple computers or processors in a system has several


advantages. First, if the large computer goes down, the local micro computers can continue
working until they need to access the large computer for something. Second the burden on the
large computer is reduced greatly, because much of the computing is done by the local micro
computers. Finally, the distributed processing approach allows the system designer to use a local
micro computer that is best suited to the task it has to do. Thus, a distributed processing seems to
be the best way to go about computerizing a factory.
