Why is indefinite blocking a problem with the priority scheduling algorithm? Because low-level processes that are scheduled have a chance of not executing. Because high-priority processes that are scheduled may not execute. Because the process will release the CPU and then stop without executing. Because the CPU will generate error data and then shutdown without executing. What is the difference between asymmetric and symmetric multiprocessing? In asymmetric multiprocessing one processor at a time makes scheduling decisions, while in symmetric multiprocessing each processor is self-scheduling. O In asymmetric multiprocessing each processor is self scheduling, while in symmetric multiprocessing one processor is designated for all scheduling decisions. In asymmetric multiprocessing one processor is designated for all scheduling decisions, while in symmetric multiprocessing only one processor at a time makes scheduling decisions. In asymmetric multiprocessing one processor is designated for all scheduling decisions, while in symmetric multiprocessing each processor is self-scheduling. What is a key characteristic of a dynamically linked library? Linking is postponed until execution time. Programs need to be re-linked to gain access to new libraries. Each program must include a copy of its language library. System libraries are combined by the loader into the binary program image. Which type of code is generated at compile time if the memory location, in which the process will reside, is known? Absolute Source Dynamic Relocatable How do mobile devices handle situations when there is not enough memory free for the requested operation? The OS swaps any applications no longer in use to disk storage. The OS asks the currently running applications to relinquish allocated memory. The OS frees memory by dumping any recently modified data, such as the stack. The OS generates a page fault error and warns the user the device is out of memory
