CS 481: Material for Test #1 |
Coverage in brief: everything covered since the previous test.
In more detail (all from the text):
Sections 10.4 through 10.15
Sections 11.1, 11.2, 11.7, 11.8, and 11.9
Sections 12.1 through 12.7, 12.10 through 12.15
What to expect on the test: short questions about specific concepts (e.g., what is
fragmentation, a page, a frame, a segment, caching, etc.);
slightly longer questions asking you to choose one design or policy over another
(e.g., page replacement policies, memory management algorithms, etc.);
questions asking you to compute something (e.g., size of a page in a system, overhead
of a page fault, slowdown due to a specific hit ratio); and more conceptual questions
(e.g., how do memory management and process management compare?).
