操作系统课后习题(国外英文资料) Chapter 1 1. What are the main goals of designing modern OS? A: the main objectives are effectiveness, convenience, extensibility and openness. 9, what are the characteristics of OS? What are its basic features? Answer: OS has four basic features: concurrency, shared, virtual, and asynchronous. Concurrency is the most important feature of the operating system; 14. What makes the operating system asynchronous? A: the process advances at unpredictable speed, which is the asynchronous nature of the process. Second chapters 4, why does the program fail to be closed and reproducible in concurrent execution? Answer: the procedures in the concurrent execution of multiple programs, is to share resources in the system, and the status of these resources will be a program to change, resulting in the program change to the closed, such a program, when executed, will certainly be impacted by other programs. When a program is executed concurrently, it loses its reproducibility because of its loss of closeness. 5. Why do you introduce the concept of process in the operating system? What impact will it have? Answer: because the program can be executed concurrently, and in order to describe and control the concurrent execution of programs, people introduce the concept of process. 8, try to explain the process in the three basic state conversion between the typical reasons. Answer: in a ready state, after the dispatcher has allocated the processor, the process can be executed, and accordingly, it changes from the ready state to the execution state. The executing process is also known as the current process, if it has been assigned to the time slice end is suspended, the process was performed by state and restore to the ready state; if an event happens to the execution of a process is blocked, which cannot continue, the process will be performed by the state into a block state. 21, how to make use of semaphore mechanism to realize mutual access of different processes t
