About operating systems flashcards
GoConqr OriginalWhat Operating Systems flashcards cover
The decks on this page range from the basic functions of an operating system to more specific topics. Operating Systems includes cards on booting, the user interface and file management. Threads, sync and deadlock asks about processes, threads and shared memory. Other decks cover inter process communication, segmentation and paging, and Linux.
How to revise with a deck
A useful starting point is Operating Systems if you want to review the main functions first. For a closer look at processes and threads, try the questions in Threads, sync and deadlock. Read each prompt, recall your answer, then check the card and return to any terms you find difficult.
Once you have practised the terms, a mind map on the unit page can help you see how ideas connect. A quiz can give you another way to check your understanding. Pick a deck and work through a few cards.
