3. A type of short-term scheduling wherein each process is allocated a certain slice of CPU time.
6. A type of RAID that makes a copy of all the data saves on a disk.
9. A human interface the requires the user to know the syntax of the system.
12. An optical disk that was designed by the music industry in the 1980s.
14. It allows a process to be subdivided into different threads of control.
15. An alternative architecture wherein its main concern is to minimize the number of clock cycle per instruction.
16. An alternative architecture that is motivated by the high cost of memory.
17. A system wherein terminals were connected to systems that allowed access by multiple concurrent users.
18. It is responsible for scheduling, synchronization, protection/security, memory management, and dealing with interrupts.
19. 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.
20. A storage device that would employ some number of inexpensive small disks instead of a single large expensive disks.

1. A software that provides a necessary set of functions allowing software packages to control the computer’s hardware.
2. It is a 3-dimensional image rendered by the manipulation of laser beams.
4. It occurs when a pipeline has stages that require less than half a clock cycle to execute.
5. An I/O control method wherein CPU continually polls a control register associated with each I/O port.
7. An OS specific to a given hardware platform.
8. It is the heart of the OS services.
10. These are external modules linked to a program in the creation of an executable module.
11. An intelligent type of DMA that is used on file servers and storage networks.
13. A type of disk organized in much the same ways as hard disks, with addressable tracks and sectors.
