QUIZ

I.

True or False: 2pts each

1. Operating System uses the Concept of Disk Scheduling.

2. Multi-tasking, can Execute Many Programs at a Time.
3. The Seek Time is the time to position the read/write head of the disk over the cylinder
containing the desired block.
4. The Rotational Latency is the time to wait for the desired block to pass under the read/write
head.
5. The Transfer Time is the time to copy the block to or from the disk.
6. the average seek time to a random cylinder for a hard disk drive is approximately 10 ms and as
much as 5 to 10 times that for a floppy disk drive.
7. The rotational delay depends on the rotational speed of the disk, which ranges roughly between
5 to 10 ms per revolution for a hard disk.
8. Is Circular Scan being the most important in disk scheduling?

Enumeration: 1pt each

9-11. Give the 3 algorithms of Disk Scheduling.

12-14. 3 types of process scheduling queue.

15-16. 2 state process models.

17-19. 3 types of scheduler.

II.

Identification 1pt each

1. Most storage and communication devices contain mechanical moving parts, making them highly
prone to error.
2. Errors or faults are those that occur only under very specific circumstances that are difficult to
replicate, such as fluctuations in voltage or a particular timing of events.
3. Are those that occur consistently and predictably whenever the same program is repeated. A
broken wire, a scratched storage disk surface, or a division by zero are examples of persistent
faults.
4. It means a storage of the data that are stable.
5. Write the block to disk ___. If successful, write the same block to disk B. If either of the two
writes fails, go to the recovery protocol.
6. Its purpose is increased fault tolerance, increased performance, Is the sum of the data transfer
rates of the individual disks.
7. errors can be removed only by correcting and reinstalling the offending programs.
8. Means of RAID?

9-10. 2 types of faults.

III.

software viruses and other malicious software likes worms, Trojan and adware and more.

2. is a system designed to prevent unauthorized access to or from a private network.

3. is a type of program designed to prevent and detect unwanted spyware program
