Operating System Quiz (Set 5) Operating System (Set 5) 1 / 10 What is the purpose of a critical section in concurrent programming? A section of code that must be executed by a single process at a time to avoid conflicts A section of code that is used for debugging purposes A section of code that executes critical operations with high priority A section of code that is intentionally vulnerable to attacks for testing purposes 2 / 10 What is a logical address space in the context of operating systems? The physical memory addresses used by the CPU The address space of the process during its execution The set of all logical addresses generated by a program The address of a memory cell in a cache 3 / 10 What is the role of a memory management unit (MMU) in an operating system? To provide user interfaces for applications To manage communication between hardware devices and the CPU To manage the storage and retrieval of files To translate virtual addresses to physical addresses and manage memory protection 4 / 10 What is the purpose of a context in the context of operating systems? A buffer used to temporarily store data read from or written to a storage device A property associated with a file, such as its size or permissions A synchronization mechanism used for inter-process communication The set of data associated with the execution of a process, including its program counter and register values 5 / 10 What is the role of an interrupt handler in operating systems? To manage the storage and retrieval of files To determine the priority of a process To handle hardware interrupts and invoke appropriate interrupt service routines To provide an abstract representation of an opened file 6 / 10 What is the purpose of a system call handler in an operating system? To manage communication between hardware devices and the CPU To determine the priority of a process To manage printer jobs by queuing and scheduling them To provide user interfaces for applications 7 / 10 What is a file system cache in operating systems? A type of memory management technique A hardware component that manages memory operations A buffer used to temporarily store data read from or written to a storage device A synchronization mechanism used for inter-process communication 8 / 10 What is the purpose of a deadlock in operating systems? A situation in which two or more processes are unable to proceed because they are each waiting for the other to release a resource To manage communication between hardware devices and the CPU To allocate memory to different processes A situation in which a process is consuming excessive CPU resources 9 / 10 What is the role of a process scheduler in operating systems? To manage communication between hardware devices and the CPU To allocate memory to different processes To manage the storage and retrieval of files To determine which process to execute next on the CPU 10 / 10 What is a shell in operating systems? A type of hardware component used for input/output operations A type of process that runs in the background A user interface that provides an interface between the user and the operating system kernel A type of memory management technique Your score isThe average score is 0% 0% Restart quiz
