COIS 3620H - Chapter 2

1. 1Single-user systems in a non-networked environment allocate, to each user, access to all available main memory for each job, and jobs are processed sequentially, one after the other.

   1. AVerdadeiro
   2. BFalso
2. 2A single-user system supports multiprogramming.

   1. AVerdadeiro
   2. BFalso
3. 3The first attempt to allow for multiprogramming used fixed partitions.

   1. AVerdadeiro
   2. BFalso
4. 4Single-user contiguous allocation schemes have the problem of partition intrusion..

   1. AVerdadeiro
   2. BFalso
5. 5The algorithm used to store jobs into memory in a fixed partition system requires a few more steps than the one used for a single-user system because the size of the job must be matched with the size of the partition to make sure it fits completely

   1. AVerdadeiro
   2. BFalso
6. 6The fixed partition scheme does not require that the entire program be stored contiguously and in memory from the beginning to the end of its execution.

   1. AVerdadeiro
   2. BFalso
7. 7The fixed partition scheme works well if all of the jobs run on the system are of the same size or if the sizes are known ahead of time and don’t vary between reconfigurations.

   1. AVerdadeiro
   2. BFalso
8. 8In a fixed partition scheme, large jobs will need to wait if the large partitions are already booked, and they will be rejected if they’re too big to fit into the largest partition.

   1. AVerdadeiro
   2. BFalso
9. 9The best-fit allocation method keeps the free/busy lists organized by memory locations, low-order memory to high-order memory.

   1. AVerdadeiro
   2. BFalso
10. 10A large job can have problems with a first-fit memory allocation scheme.

    1. AVerdadeiro
    2. BFalso

11. 11The first-fit algorithm assumes that the Memory Manager keeps only one list containing free memory blocks.

    1. AVerdadeiro
    2. BFalso
12. 12One of the problems with the best-fit algorithm is that the entire table must be searched before the allocation can be made because the memory blocks are physically stored in sequence according to their location in memory.

    1. AVerdadeiro
    2. BFalso
13. 13Research continues to focus on finding the optimum allocation scheme.

    1. AVerdadeiro

14. 14For a fixed partition system, memory deallocation is relatively complex

    1. AVerdadeiro
    2. BFalso
15. 15In a dynamic partition system, a null entry in the busy list occurs when a memory block between two other busy memory blocks is returned to the free list.

    1. AVerdadeiro
    2. BFalso
16. 16In the relocatable dynamic partitions scheme, the Memory Manager relocates programs to gather together all of the empty blocks and compact them to make one block of memory large enough to accommodate some or all of the jobs waiting to get in.

    1. AVerdadeiro
    2. BFalso
17. 17Memory defragmentation is performed by the operating system to reclaim fragmented space.

    1. AVerdadeiro
    2. BFalso
18. 18After relocation and compaction, both the free list and the busy list are updated.

    1. AVerdadeiro
    2. BFalso
19. 19The bounds register is used to store the highest (or lowest, depending on the specific system) location in memory accessible by each program.

    1. AVerdadeiro
    2. BFalso
20. 20Compaction should always be performed only when there are jobs waiting to get in.

    2. BFalso
