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.
