Operating Systems Fundamentals Quiz

Process Management = Managing creation, deletion, and execution of processes Memory Management = Managing allocation and deallocation of memory space File System = Managing organization and storage of data on secondary storage devices Device Management = Managing communication with peripheral devices

CPU utilization = Maximizing processor use Throughput = Number of processes that complete their execution per time unit Turnaround Time = Total time taken to execute a particular process Waiting Time = Total time a process spends waiting in the ready queue

Semaphores = Integer variable used for signaling between processes Monitors = High-level synchronization construct that includes both data and procedures that operate on the data Message Passing = Communication method where processes exchange data through message passing Event Counters = Mechanism to track the occurrence of events

<p>Deadlock Prevention = Ensuring that at least one of the necessary conditions for deadlock cannot hold Deadlock Avoidance = Ensuring that the system will never enter a deadlock state Deadlock Detection and Recovery = Finding and recovering from deadlock situations Necessary and Sufficient Conditions for Deadlock = Conditions that must be present for a deadlock to occur</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Pre-emptive = Ability to interrupt a process to give another process control Non-preemptive = Once a process starts, it will continue to execute until it terminates or blocks FCFS = Processes are executed in the order they arrive SJF = Shortest job is executed next</p> Signup and view all the answers
