Q:

If p:q are the odds in favour of an event,then the probability of that event is:

A) p/q B) p/(p+q)
C) q/(p+q) D) none
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) p/(p+q)

Explanation:

Total number of cases=p+q

Favourable cases=p

Probability of that event is=p/(p+q)

Q:

What is the Translation Lookaside Buffer (TLB)?

Answer

In a cached system, the base addresses of the last few referenced pages is maintained in registers called the TLB that aids in faster lookup. TLB contains those page-table entries that have been most recently used. Normally, each virtual memory reference causes 2 physical memory accesses- one to fetch appropriate page-table entry, and one to fetch the desired data. Using TLB in-between, this is reduced to just one physical memory access in cases of TLB-hit.

Q:

What are short, long and medium-term scheduling?

Answer

Long term scheduler determines which programs are admitted to the system for processing. It controls the degree of multiprogramming. Once admitted, a job becomes a process.


Medium term scheduling is part of the swapping function. This relates to processes that are in a blocked or suspended state. They are swapped out of real-memory until they are ready to execute. The swapping-in decision is based on memory-management criteria.


Short term scheduler, also know as a dispatcher executes most frequently, and makes the finest-grained decision of which process should execute next. This scheduler is invoked whenever an event occurs. It may lead to interruption of one process by preemption.
