Assignment 2 (IT6)

 Write a journal Assignment that will prepare you to conduct the organizational profile needed for your final project. In this lab, you will also apply the operating system concepts you read about in the course textbook to the real world.

Windows provide command line utilities that display system architecture information as well as how the operating system is configured to interface with hardware. The goal of this lab is to leverage the operating system on the computer you are using for this course to report on its architecture.

Execute the command below in the command shell that comes with your operating system.  Here is the commands:

Windows: Execute the command systeminfo

Review the output from a command above and write a journal assignment that describes the following critical elements:

 the name and description of the processor

 the number of cores

 the amount of memory

 any particular information you find important and why

Review the output from a command above and, in your journal, describe the type of processor(s), number of cores, amount of memory, and any particular information you find interesting. For example, Windows displays the installation date and when the system was last booted.

In your journal, explain at least one system call that the operating system executed in order to create the output you reviewed.

Hint: The command above creates a new process, so Windows will leverage a WIN32 system call from Section 1.6.5
