Pregunta 11

Pregunta
To achieve it's goals an operating system supports a number of higher level abstractions and then a key number of mechanisms that operate on top of these abstractions.
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 12

Pregunta
Operating systems do not implement policies to determine how mechanisms will be used to manage the underlying hardware.
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 13

Pregunta
The policy Least Recently Used (LRU) decides that the pages that have been least recently used over a period of time are the ones that are no longer used in physical memory but instead to be used on disk. This is also known as
Respuesta
  • Swapping
  • Switching
  • Transferring
  • Upkeep

Pregunta 14

Pregunta
What are some good guiding policies when designing an OS? Check all that apply
Respuesta
  • Separation of mechanisms and policy
  • Tight coupling of mechanisms and policy
  • Optimize for edge cases
  • Optimize for the common case

Pregunta 15

Pregunta
To achieve it's role of controlling and managing hardware resources on behalf of applications, the application must have special privileges. This is achieved by distinguishing between at least two modes of
Respuesta
  • Kernal and User
  • Kernal and Admin
  • Admin and Master
  • Privileged and Kernel

Pregunta 16

Pregunta
The operating system must operate in privileged kernel mode.
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 17

Pregunta
User - Kernel switch is supported by which hardware?
Respuesta
  • The CPU
  • Motherboard
  • RAM
  • GPU

Pregunta 18

Pregunta
What is a trap instruction?
Respuesta
  • When an application attempts to perform privileged operations in user mode
  • An instruction that leads to buffer overflow
  • Any instruction sent to the CPU when close to using max RAM
  • Any instruction performed by incompatible hardware.

Pregunta 19

Pregunta
What happens when a trap instruction occurs?
Respuesta
  • Control is switched to the OS at a specific location
  • The OS checks to see what caused the trap to occur
  • Grant access or perform terminate the process if the instruction was illegal.
  • A system call

Pregunta 20

Pregunta
A system call is when the operating system gives privileged access to an application. Examples of this are open(file), send(socket), and malloc(memory).
