PURNEA 'the Mini darjlling'

Several possible origins for the name Purnea have been proposed. The name may originate from the Sanskrit word Purna–Aranya, which means "complete jungle".

  Purnea is the largest city in northeastern Bihar also known    as Kosi- Seemanchal area. Total geographical area of Purnea municipal corporation is 92 km sq. 

 Which is next only to Patna.The population of the city is 3058 persons per km sq. making it the 5th largest city of Bihar. It is nearly 300 kilometres from Patna.

 The city however lies on the banks of numerous tributaries of the Koshi River.
Its major agricultural products are jute and banana.

    Purnia is known for its favourable climate; it has earned the name "Mini Darjeeling" for this reason. Purnia has a largely humid climate, with the highest level of rainfall in Bihar state and humidity rising to above 70%. 
Maithili, Angika, Hindi, Urdu and Bengali are the principal languages spoken by the people of Purnea. Surjapuri and Santali dialects are also  spoken  in  some  parts  of  the city. English  continues to be the first language in most of the English Medium schools.
Bhatta Bazar and Line Bazar are the busiest parts in the city with the former being a prime centre for all sorts of economic activities while the latter is the backbone of health care facilities for the people in and around the city.

Bhatta Bazar, located at the heart of the city among some its most densely populated areas,  Line Bazar is a prime centre for medical fraternity with doctors of almost every specialization. It has some of the best nursing homes and hospitals in the region of Seemanchal.
**Some notable persons from purnea:-

Purnia holds the record for making and displaying the world's longest tricolour flag, with a width measured at 7,100 metres (7.1 km).
Purnia is the only city in Bihar other than Patna where International Driving Permits are issued to the relevant authorities.

Process Scheduling And Types of Process Schedular :-

        ⇰ PROCESS SCHEDULING Process Scheduling  is a task  of Operating System that schedules processes of different states like new, ready, waiting, terminated  and running.This scheduling helps in allocation of CPU time for each process, and Operating System allocates the CPU time for each procss. And the process scheduling plays important role to keep the CPU busy all the time.  ⏩   Followings are some objectives of Process Scheduling :-  i > To increase the amount of users within acceptable response times.  ii > To maintain the balance between response and utilization of system. iii > To decrease the enforce priorities and  give reference to the processes holding the key resources.      ⇰  PROCESS SCHEDULAR A scheduler carries out the pro cess scheduling work. Schedulers are often implemented so they keep all computer resources busy and  allows multiple users to shar...

Semaphores In Process Synchronization

   ⇰  Semaphores :-   Semaphore is actually a method or tool to prevent race condition. Race condition can cause loss of data or even deadlock situation. For prevention from these conditions, the semaphore is one of the method.  Semaphore was proposed by Dijkstra in 1965. Simaphore    is a very significant technique to manage concurrent processes.  Semaphore is useful tool in the prevention of race condition. But the use of semaphore never means a guarantee that a program is free from these problems.     Semaphore is an integer variable which is used in mutual exclusive manner by various concurrent cooperative processes in order to acheive synchronization. Hence semaphore is one of the way to achieve synchronization.  Semaphore is basically  a variable which is non-negative and shared between threads. This variable is used to solve the critical section problem and to achieve process synchronization in the multiprocess...

DeadLock In Operating System

      ⇰  DEADLOCK :- As we know in a multiprogramming environment several processes may compete for a finite number of resources. If a process requests resources and if the resources are not available at that time, the process enters a state called  waiting state. Sometimes, a waiting process is never again able to change state or never out from waiting state, because the resources it has requested are held by or taken by other waiting processes before this process.This situation is called a Deadlock.     ⇰  DEADLOCK CHARACTERIZATION:- In a deadlock processes never finish executing and system resources are tied up  and also  preventing other jobs from starting. Here are some features that characterize deadlocks. A deadlock situation can arrive if the following four conditions hold simultaneously in any operating system :- 1. Mutual exclusion :- A process must hold at least one resource in a nonsharable mode so tha...
