6. What does the First come, First Served algorithm do?
- Gives each task a time slice, and if it is not completed by the end of it it is aded back onto the end of the queue
- Organizes the queue according to sizesize and then executes accordingly
- Executes tasks in the order of being added
- Takes the first task and executes only that task
7. What is an example of a hardware interrupt?
- Completion of data transfer between devices
- The shutdown of the computer triggered by pressing the off switch
- Arithemtic overflow
- A keyboard blocking the monitor of the computer
8. What is a stack used for?
- To contain memory locations of programs that have alrey been completed
- To keep track of where the CPU was before an interrupt
- To act as a barrier against harmful instructions
- To hold pieces of useless data
9. What does the shortest job first algorithm do?
- Organizes the queue according to size and then executes accordingly
- Executes tasks in the order of being added
- Executes whichever task has the shortest time left for executing, also allowing added processes to take over the currently running process
- Places the shortest job at the front of the queue, then organizes the rest randomly
10. What are interrupts?
- Signals from components of a computer that gets the attention of the CPU.
- People who stop you from working on your computer.
- Signals that prevent your CPU from working properly.
- Signals that are sent from the CPU to other components.
11. What is scheduling?
- A process that gives the illusion of a multitasking computer by arranging the way tasks are processed.
- A process that controls when a user may load certain programs
- A process that takes tasks from the computer and places them in the CPU for execution in order of loading
- Trying to make sure you can do all your homework the night before
12. What does the Round Robin algorithm do?
- Executes tasks in the order of being added
- Gives each task a time slice, and if it is not completed by the end of it it is added back onto the end of the queue
- Takes a robin and rounds it
- Organizes the queue according to sizesize and then executes accordingly
