The textbook outlines a structure for understanding operating systems, divided into six chapters, beginning with an introduction to key elements in the first week. It covers foundational topics like memory management and processor management while encouraging research on terms like thread scheduling and I/O interrupts. Additionally, it prompts a discussion on concepts such as page map tables and the functional differences between job clocks and wait clocks.

1. The textbook content for Understanding Operating Systems is
organized through 1-6 chapters. Week 1 provides an
introduction to those key elements associated with Operating
Systems (OS). These first four chapters establish the working
components of Memory Management, Memory Management
Virtual Memory Systems, and Processor Management. Week
two continues these introductions with additional management
functions. Answer the following questions (Don't cut and paste
answers form the book or the Internet) :
Research additional information and provide a brief explanation
for the following terms:
Thread scheduling priorities
CPU Cycle time
Processor bottleneck
Processor Queue Length
I/O Interrupts
In your own words briefly explain the following terms:
Page Map Table (PMT)
First In First Out (FIFO)
Job Table (JT)

2. Least Recently Used (LRT)
Discuss the functional purpose and difference between, “job
clocks” and “wait clocks”.
Explain any confusion that might exist between the term and
it’s use, “main memory” and “secondary storage”.
