CORRECT ANSWERS!!
T F 1)
A computer platform consists of a collection of hardware resources, such as the
processor, main memory, I/O modules, timers, and disk drives.
t
T F 2)
For efficiency, applications should be written directly for a given hardware platform.
f
T F 3)
A design change in the structure or semantics of the process control block could affect
a number of modules in the OS.
t
T F 4)
The process control block is the key tool that enables the OS to support multiple
processes and to provide for multiprocessing.
t
T F 5)
It is not the responsibility of the operating system to control the execution of processes.
f
, T F 6)
The first step in designing an OS to control processes is to describe the behavior that we
would like the processes to exhibit.
t
T F 7)
The OS may create a process on behalf of an application.
t
T F 8)
Swapping is not an I/O operation so it will not enhance performance.
f
T F 9)

loaded into main memory
t
T F 10)
A process that is not in main memory is immediately available for execution, regardless
