MODULE 5
III. INTENDED LEARNING ACTIVITIES:
Explain in your own word. Do not Copy your answer on the internet. If your answer is copied from the
internet your answer will be wrong. Explain the ff. Good Luck. (10 pts. each)
1. Explain the main purpose of an operating system?
- Operating systems are responsible for handling computer memory, processes, and the overall operation
of all hardware and software. The most important program on a computer is the operating system, which
allows the computer hardware to communicate properly with all other computer software.
2. Memory Management
- Memory management is an operating system feature that controls or manages primary memory and
transfers processes between main memory and disk during execution. Memory management keeps track of
every memory location, regardless of whether it is used by a process or is free. It determines how much
memory should be assigned to each process. It determines which processes will be given memory and
when. It keeps track of when memory is released or unallocated and changes the state accordingly.
3. Storage Management
- Storage management refers to all of the technologies, procedures, and strategies that companies use to
get the most out of their data storage resources. Furthermore, because expanding storage capacity is a
costly investment for businesses, it necessitates a significant degree of capacity planning and forward-
thinking, especially given the rate at which data is growing.
4. What are real-time systems?
- A real-time system is an operating system is designed to support real-time applications that process data
as it comes in, with little or no delay.
5. What is kernel?
- The kernel is the operating system's core. It is stored in the main memory until the computer is turned off.
Kernel effectively translates the user's commands into a language that the computer can comprehend.
