15 Questions
What is the purpose of CPU scheduling?
To improve memory utilization
What is the function of the Cache in a computer system?
To act as a fast intermediary between main memory and CPU registers
What is the purpose of demand paging?
To load program pages into memory only when they are needed
What is a key function of the Page Table in memory management?
To map virtual addresses to physical addresses
Why is protection of memory required in a computer system?
To ensure correct operation of the system
Memory hardware is organized in various ways to facilitate ________
memory management
Virtual memory provides benefits such as ________
increased address space and efficient utilization of physical memory
The process of bringing pages from disk to memory on demand is known as ________
demand paging
In CPU scheduling, the goal is to improve the ________ and speed of the computer’s response to its users
utilization of the CPU
Cache is a temporary storage that is ________ and nearer to CPU than RAM
very fast
What are the benefits of virtual memory?
Improves multitasking, allows for larger program sizes, and simplifies memory management.
Explain the purpose of demand paging in memory management.
Demand paging allows pages to be brought from disk to memory only when they are needed, reducing the initial memory requirement for a process.
What is the function of the Page Table in memory management?
The Page Table maps virtual addresses to physical addresses, facilitating the translation of memory addresses.
How does CPU scheduling contribute to the improvement of computer response speed?
By allowing for the sharing of the CPU among multiple processes, thus improving both CPU utilization and computer response speed.
Explain the purpose of protection of memory in a computer system.
Protection of memory is necessary to ensure the correct operation of processes and to prevent unauthorized access or modification of memory.
Test your knowledge about memory management techniques including background swapping, contiguous memory allocation, segmentation, and the structure of the page table. Explore virtual memory and its benefits, as well as the process of loading pages into memory using demand paging.
