Question 15

Question
Paging:
Answer
  • allows multiple programs to reside in separate areas of core at the time
  • consists of those addresses that may be generated by a processor execution of a computation
  • is a method of allocating process time
  • is a method of memory allocation by which the program is subdivided into equal portions, or pages and core is subdivided into equal portions or blocks

Answer
  • optimal
  • Clock
  • LRU

Question 19

Question
The size of virtual storage is limited by…
Answer
  • the number of processors in a system
  • the actual number of main storage locations
  • the addressing scheme of the computer system and by the amount of secondary memory
  • the amount of main memory and secondary memory

Question 20

Question
What is trashing?
Answer
  • Guessing, based on recent history, which pieces are least likely to be used in the near future
  • Assumption that only a few pieces of a process will be needed over a short period of time
  • Condition when the system spends most of its time swapping pieces rather than executing instructions

Answer
  • physical address in cache memory
  • virtual address in main memory
  • virtual address in secondary memory
