Computer Science Operating Systems
Answer the following questions.
Question 1 : The structure of the process in memory is includes a few parts. What are
the different parts of the Process Memory Address Space? What information does
each part holds?
Question 2 : D iscuss in detail the differences between short-term, medium-term,
and long-term scheduling.
Question 3 : Discuss in detail the different process states. Draw the Process State
Diagram.
Question 4 : What is the context switch? What does the OS do during context switch?
Should the OS reduce or increase the context switch and why? How is the context
dependent on the hardware support?
Question 5 : There are two models for Inter-Process Communication. Discuss in detail
each of them and the advantages and disadvantages of each.
