LONG EXAM 2
Across
- 5. It occurs when a pipeline has stages that require less than half a clock cycle to execute.
- 6. An intelligent type of DMA that is used on file servers and storage networks.
- 7. It is the process of matching the external symbols of a program with all exported symbols from other files, producing single binary files with no unresolved external symbols.
- 9. An alternative architecture that is motivated by the high cost of memory.
- 13. A storage device that would employ some number of inexpensive small disks instead of a single large expensive disks.
- 15. A human interface the requires the user to know the syntax of the system.
- 16. It is responsible for scheduling, synchronization, protection/security, memory management, and dealing with interrupts.
- 18. It allows a process to be subdivided into different threads of control.
- 19. A type of short-term scheduling wherein each process is allocated a certain slice of CPU time.
Down
- 1. It is a 3-dimensional image rendered by the manipulation of laser beams.
- 2. These are external modules linked to a program in the creation of an executable module.
- 3. A software that provides a necessary set of functions allowing software packages to control the computer’s hardware.
- 4. An alternative architecture wherein its main concern is to minimize the number of clock cycle per instruction.
- 8. An OS specific to a given hardware platform.
- 9. An optical disk that was designed by the music industry in the 1980s.
- 10. It is the heart of the OS services.
- 11. An I/O control method wherein CPU continually polls a control register associated with each I/O port.
- 12. A type of disk organized in much the same ways as hard disks, with addressable tracks and sectors.
- 14. A system wherein terminals were connected to systems that allowed access by multiple concurrent users.
- 17. A type of RAID that makes a copy of all the data saves on a disk.
