COMPUTER SCIENCE

A two-dimensional finite automaton (2DIM-DFA) is defined as follows. The input is an $m \times n$ rectangle, for any m, $n \geq 2$. The squares along the boundary of the rectangle contain the symbol # and the internal squares contain symbols over the input alphabet $\sum$. The transition function $\delta: Q \times(\Sigma \cup\{\#\}) \longrightarrow Q \times\{\mathrm{L}, \mathrm{R}, \mathrm{U}, \mathrm{D}\}$ indicates the next state and the new head position (Left, Right, Up, Down). The machine accepts when it enters one of the designated accept states. It rejects if it tries to move off the input rectangle or if it never halts. Two such machines are equivalent if they accept the same rectangles. Consider the problem of determining whether two of these machines are equivalent. Formulate this problem as a language and show that it is undecidable.

What does the Performance Monitor do?

The Microsoft Windows Performance Monitor is a tool that administrators can use to examine how programs running on their computers affect the computer's performance. The tool can be used in real time and also be used to collect information in a log to analyze the data at a later time.

What does the Overview tab provide a quick view of in Resource Monitor select all that apply?

As its name implies, the Overview tab provides you with an at-a-glance, basic overview of your system's current status. As you can see, the CPU graph displays the total percentage of CPU capacity currently in use in green and the CPU Maximum Frequency in blue.

What utility allows you to visually display the data generated by counters and allows you to select the individual counters you want to view?

Which utility is used to browse and manage the records of system events and messages stored in system event logs? Like Resource Monitor, Performance Monitor allows you to select the counters you wish to view.

What is Resource and Performance Monitor?

Resource Monitor lets you check the counters for specific system processes and services. Performance Monitor helps access and report information about various computer resources. Users can use the reports to identify the problems with resources so that they can try to fix the problems.
