CHAPTER 7 Operating Systems Review Questions 1. The operating system controls the access of hardware by users. Application pro- grams use the computer hardware to solve the users problems. 2. Thanks to networking and internetworking, resources such as files and even CPUs can be shared by computers that are miles apart. 3. In monoprogramming, only a single job is in memory at any one time. With multi- programming, several jobs are in memory at a time and the resources of the com- puter are only assigned to the jobs that need them. 4. The components of an operating system are: memory manager, process manager, device manager, file manager, and the user interface. 5. With partitioning, memory is divided into variable length sections, each of which hold one complete program. In paging, memory is divided into much smaller fixed length sections as is the program itself. The program does not have to be contigu- ous in memory. 6. In paging, a page is the fixed length section of a program and a frame is the fixed length section of memory. 7. In regular paging the entire program must be in memory at the same time in order for the program to execute. With demand paging, the pages of a program can be loaded into memory one by one so that the entire program does not need to be in memory at the same time. This means that with demand paging, more programs can use the computers resources at any given time. 8. Demand segmentati
