- Question
What is the difference between Hard and Soft real-time systems?
- Correct Answer
- A hard real-time system guarantees that critical tasks complete on time This goal requires that all delays in the system be bounded from the retrieval of the stored data to the time that it takes the operating system to finish any request made of it A soft real time system where a critical real-time task gets priority over other tasks and retains that priority until it completes As in hard real time systems kernel delays need to be bounded

Correct Answer: Job queue Ready queue Device queue
Correct Answer: Waiting state
Correct Answer: Hardware device that maps virtual to physical address In MMU scheme, the value in the relocation register is added to every address generated by a user process at the time it is sent to memory ->The user program deals with logical addresses; it never sees the real physical addresses
Correct Answer: String operations
Explanation:
SNOBOL is a high-level computer programming language used especially in manipulating textual data. It is mainly used for string operations and was developed between 1962 and 1967.
Correct Answer: Prefix Notation: ^ - * +ABC - DE + FG
Correct Answer: 11 2 1 1
Correct Answer: While extracting a float argument using va_arg we should have useed c = va_arg (ptr, double)
Correct Answer: Time and Space
Explanation:
Two main measures for the efficiency of an algorithm are Time and Space.
