OS Quiz 3 Compilation

Stall

Completing a memory access may take many cycles of the CPU clock. In such cases, the processor normally needs to ___________, since it does not have the data required to complete the instruction that it is executing.

Input Queue

During the address binding, the processes on the disk that are waiting will be brought into memory for execution from the_____________

Stub

In dynamic linking, a _____________ is included in the image for each library routine reference.

Physical Address

Memory-address register of the memory—is commonly referred to as a _____________

Limit Register

The ___________ specifies the size of the range.

Base Register

The ____________ holds the smallest legal physical memory address

Transfer Rate

The _____________is the rate at which data flow between the drive and the computer.

DMA Controller

To perform a disk I/O operation, the computer places a command into the host controller, typically using memory-mapped I/O ports. This is controlled by a _______________which is built into each disk drive.

Magnetic Disks

____________ provide the bulk of secondary storage for modern computer systems.

Execution Time

____________Is a step in the binding instruction wherein if the process can be moved during its execution from one memory segment to another, then binding must be delayed until run time.

SOLID-STATE DISKS

_______________ is a nonvolatile memory that is used like a hard drive. There are many variations of this technology, from DRAM with a battery to allow it to maintain its state in a power failure through flash-memory technologies like single-level cell (SLC) and multilevel cell (MLC) chips.

BUS CONTROLLER

_______________ is the controller at the computer end of the bus.

Dynamically linked libraries

____________________ are system libraries that are linked to user programs when the programs are run.

Magnetic Tape

was used as an early secondary-storage medium. Although it is relatively permanent and can hold large quantities of data, its access time is slow compared with that of main memory and magnetic disk.
