| JAVA: What is a java bytecode? | Is the machine language instruction set for Java Virtual Machine |
| JAVA: What is a JVM? | Java Virtual Machine |
| JAVA: What does JVM execute? | Java bytecode |
| JAVA: Where does all computation in the JVM centres occur? | On the stack because the JVM has no registers for storing arbitary values. Everything must be pushed onto the stack before it can be used in a calculation. |
| JAVA: What are opcodes? | Java commands or operations |
| JAVA: What does JIT stand for and what is it? | Just In Time Compiling not interpreting is used in most JVM's to achieve greater speed |
| JAVA: What does the JVM verify before it is executed? | 1. Branches are always to valid locations 2. Data is always initialised and referenced are always type-safe 3. Access to private or package private data and methods is rigidly controlled |

| JAVA: What is a catch statement used for? | To catch the try statement errors or Handle exceptions that match exception arguments |
| JAVA: What does the finally statement do? | Perform code based on when the try statement is thrown. Always executed to clean up even if execution is aborted |
| JAVA: What is a thread? | Individual and separate unit of execution that is part of a process 1 thread per task |
| JAVA: How many threads does a program have? | At least one or more |

|
| JAVA: Why do threads share resources? | To work together to accomplish a common goal |
| JAVA: When do threads run? | Only when needed, can provide better performance. |
| JAVA: What are the four separate states for Java Threads? (Hint: NRBD) | New - just started but not created Runnable - created, started and able to run Blocked - created started, but unable to run due to waiting for an event Dead - Thread has finished or been stopped |
| JAVA: What are the priorities levels for threads? | MIN_PRIORITY NORM_PRIORITY MAX_PRIORITY |

| JAVA: What is an RPC? | Allows a computer program to cause a subroutin/procedure/function to execute in another address space |
| JAVA: When is an RPC initialised and when are the processes involved? | By the client which sends a request message to the remote server to execute a specified procedure with supplied parameters. The server sends a response to the client and application continues process. When the server is processing the call, the client is blocked unless the client sends an asynchronous request to the server such as XHTTP call. |
| JAVA: What does RMI stand for? | Java Remote Method Invocation |
| JAVA: What is the purpose of RMI? | Perform OO equivalent of RPC with support for direct transfer of serialised Java classes and distributed garbage collections |
| JAVA: What are the sequence of events during an RPC? | o The client calls the client stub. The call is a local procedure call, with parameters pushed on to the stack in the normal way. o The client stub packs the parameters into a message and makes a system call to send the message. Packing the parameters is called marshalling. o The clients local OS sends the message from the client machine to the server machine. o The local operating system on the server machines passes the incoming packets to the server stub. o The server stub unpacks the parameters from the message. Unpacking the parameters is called un-marshalling. o Finally, the server stub calls the server procedure. The reply traces the same steps in the reverse direction. |

| PROCESS MANAGEMENT: What is a priority level scheduling algorithm for semaphores and what is the main problem with it? | Processes are organised highest to lowest with higher processes getting priority. Lower levels could be starved. |
| PROCESS MANAGEMENT: What is the shortest job next scheduler and what is the main consequence of it? | An algorithm to decide which process is the shortest and goes next. Longest jobs could be higher importance and be starved |
| PROCESS MANAGEMENT: What is the round robin scheduler? | A time sharing algorithm for each process. Using FIFO queue |
| PROCESS MANAGEMENT: What is a multi-level priority queue scheduler? | Similar to priority queue except the processes can shift priority. But higher processes must be empty before processes from lower priority queues are allowed to run |
