Across
- 6. volatile (contents lost when the power is turned off)
- 9. An OS runs multiple applications at the same time
- 10. sorts data every time you open an app
- 12. utilities reorganize files on hard disks, putting fragments of files together collecting free space.
- 14. Data is stored in files, and a filename extension tells the OS which application to load the file into.
- 16. utilities reduce file size for less space and files must be extracted before they're read.
- 17. this is the best
Down
- 1. a term of a dedicated function with a larger mechanical system
- 2. this is needed when there is not enough physical RAM to store the open programs.
- 3. utilities use an algorithm that scrambles plain text to cipher text, only decodable with key.
- 4. The OS lets different users log into one computer, and will retain settings for each of them,
- 5. When programs are loaded, the OS decides where they are held in memory.
- 7. It is mesured in hertz and it cunts the number 0f cycles per second
- 8. Translates OS instructions into commands that the hardware will understand.
- 10. this is a complete copy of a cpu
- 11. Software is designed to keep your computer safe, running efficiently, and provide you with useful tools for file and application management.
- 13. nonvolatile (content is saved when power is switched off
- 15. reduces the movement of a read/write head
