On a system with 2^24 bytes of memory and fixed partitions, all of size 65,536
bytes, what is the minimum number of bits needed in an entry in the process table
to record the partition to which a process has been allocated?
Thanks

This is simple math.
There are 224 / 65536 = 256 partitions.
ceil(log2(256)) = 8 bits to encode a specific partition number.

After I upgraded the memory on my laptop, the rate of usage of memory remained the same, and the memory used increased almost proportionally to the size of new memory.
Why?
Thanks in advance.

Normally we said that 1000m= 1Km, 1000ml= 1Liter and 1000g = 1Kg. Then why we say 1024 KB =1MB, instead of 1000 KB= 1MB. How 1024 kb is said to be as 1 mb.?
1byte = 8bits which is 2 power 3 bits. If it was 1000kib =1mb it would be harder to converts into bits and vvice versa. As 1024 is the integer which is closer to 1000 and can be expressed as power of 2. It has been choosen.
Hope that helps! Sorry for my bad english and poor explanation :P

I was curious if it was possible to geographically display networks at a smaller level of geography such as a city. I've used the geolayout plugin, but it seems to barely recognize the small distinctions in longitude and latitude.
The solution was to scale the graph to an extremely large value (>1000000).

How can you tell how many cores are available in any given GPU?
I would prefer a Windows/UI based answer, but API (DirectX?) is also nice to know.
No such API. Even term "core", applied to graphics hardware cannot be defined in a universal way: different vendors have very different architectures (even on desktop platforms). So, we can have 384 "CUDA cores" in nVidia GPU, 1024 "shader ALUs" in AMD GPU and 20 "blocks" in Intel GPU of the same price/performance/transistor count category. Sometimes you don't even have a dedicated GPU. So, it does not make sense to compare those numbers.

i see this interleaved audio many times on core audio documents.Can someone explain me what's really functionality of this property.
Generally speaking, if you have 2 channels, let's call them L for left and R for right, and you want to transmit or store 20 samples, then:
Interleaved = LRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLRLR
Non-Interleaved = LLLLLLLLLLRRRRRRRRR
