Question

TRUE/FALSE

16) If there is only one CPU in the computer, then only one process can be in the ''running'' state at any time.

17) In a multi-thread system, the relationship among processes and threads is saved in Process Control Block.

18) The size of a page is the same as the size of a frame.

19) In the file system, logical records are physical blocks are inter-related so that the records could be saved in corresponding blocks.

20) Because data are striped in very small strips, RAID 3 cannot achieve very high data transfer rates.

Explanation / Answer

ANSWER(16): Yes it is true because in one CPU the only process can run at a time and other processes may be in the waiting or in other states.

ANSWER (17): False because The operating system maintains management information about a process in a process control block (PCB). Modern operating systems allow a process to be divided into multiple threads of execution, which share all process management information except for information directly related to execution. This information is held in a thread control block (TCB).

ANSWER (18): True because a page is a region of virtual address space, and a page frame is a region of physical memory. A page which maps a region of physical memory must have the same size as that piece of physical memory, otherwise, there's no point.

ANSWER (19): Yes it is true.

ANSWER (20): It is False.
