    This document appears to be an exam sheet for an Operating Systems course, containing multiple choice and short answer questions. Some of the key points covered include: - Real-time operating systems prioritize timeliness over efficiency and reliability. Embedded operating systems are commonly used in devices like PDAs. - The main functions of an operating system are memory management and process management. Multiprogramming and spooling help with CPU utilization. - Personal computer operating systems focus on user convenience while mainframe systems emphasize security, reliability, and efficiency for serving many users simultaneously. - The client-server model can be applied within a single computer system to split processes between a client requesting services and a server providing them.

    Second : Answer the following (2 mark)
    ( From MODERN OPERATING SYSTEMS 2nd ed. ANDREW S. TANENBAUM)
    1. What are the two main functions of an operating system?

    2. What is multiprogramming?

    3. What is spooling? Do you think that advanced personal computers will have
    spooling as a standard feature in the future?

    4. On early computers, every byte of data read or written was directly handled by the
    CPU (i.e., there was no DMA). What implications does this organization have for
    multiprogramming?

    5. Why was timesharing not widespread on second-generation computers?

    6. The family of computers idea was introduced in the 1960s with the IBM
    System/360 mainframes. Is this idea now dead as a doornail or does it lives on?

    7. One reason GUIs were initially slow to be adopted was the cost of the hardware
    needed to support them. How much video RAM is needed to support a 25 line 80
    row character monochrome text screen? How much for a 1024 768 pixel 24-bit
    color bitmap? What was the cost of this RAM at 1980 prices ($5/KB)? How much
    is it now?

    8. Which of the following instructions should be allowed only in kernel mode?


    (a) Disable all interrupts.
    (b) Read the time-of-day clock.
    (c) Set the time-of-day dock.
    (d) Change the memory map.

    9. List some differences between personal computer operating systems and mainframe
    operating systems.

    10. A computer has a pipeline with four stages. Each stage takes the same time to do its
    work, namely, 1 nsec. How many instructions per second can this machine execute?

    11. An alert reviewer notices a consistent spelling error in the manuscript of an operating
    systems textbook that is about to go to press. The book has approximately 700 pages,
    each with 50 lines of 80 characters each. How long will it take to electronically scan the
    text for the case of the master copy being in each of the levels of memory of Fig. 1-7? For
    internal storage methods, consider that the access time given is per character, for disk
    devices assume the time is per block of 1024 characters, and for tape assume the time
    given is to the start of the data with subsequent access at the same speed as disk access.

    12. In Fig. 1-9, the MMU compares the incoming (virtual) address to the limit register,
    causing a fault if it is too large. An alternative design would be to first add the virtual
    address to the base register and then compare the result to the (physical) address in the
    limit register. Are the two methods logically equivalent? Are they equivalent in
    performance?

    13. When a user program makes a system call to read or write a disk file, it provides an
    indication of which file it wants, a pointer to the data buffer, and the count. Control is
    then transferred to the operating system, which calls the appropriate driver. Suppose that
    the driver starts the disk and terminates until an interrupt occurs. In the case of reading
    from the disk, obviously the caller will have to be blocked (because there are no data for
    it). What about the case of writing to the disk? Need the caller be blocking awaiting
    completion of the disk transfer?

    14. What is the key difference between a trap and an interrupt?

    16. Why is the process table needed in a timesharing system? Is it also needed in personal
    computer systems in which only one process exists, that process taking over the entire
    machine until it is finished?

    17. Is there any reason why you might want to mount a file system on a nonempty
    directory? If so, what is it?

    21. What is the essential difference between a block special file and a character special
    file?

    23. The client-server model is popular in distributed systems. Can it also be used in a
    single computer system?
