3.2 What are the three major activities of an operating system in regard to memory management?



Symmetric multiprocessing中所有处理器同等对待，I/O可以 在任意CPU上处理。 Asymmetric multiprocessing具有一个主CPU和多个从CPU，主 CPU将任务分派到从CPU，I/O通常只能由主CPU处理。 多处理机系统的优点

比多个计算机系统可能更省钱（同样CPU个数） 执行程序更快 可靠性更高



a. Change to user mode. b. Change to monitor mode. c. Read from monitor memory. d. Write into monitor memory. e. Fetch an instruction from monitor memory. f. Turn on timer interrupt. g. Turn off timer interrupt.

1.1 What are the three main purposes of an operating system?



环境提供者，为计算机用户提供一个环境，使得能够在计算机硬 件上方便、高效的执行程序 资源分配者，为解决问题按需分配计算机的资源，资源分配需尽 可能公平、高效 控制程序

缺点：软硬件更复杂

2.2 How does the distinction between monitor mode and user mode function as a rudimentary form of protection (security) system?

通过建立一组只能在monitor mode才能执行的特权指令集，OS能够 确保总是能控制整个系统。

1.6 Define the essential properties of the following types of operating systems:

a. Batch



相似需求的Job分批、成组的在计算机上执行，Job由操作员或自动Job程序 装置装载； 可以通过采用 buffering, off-line operation, spooling, multiprogramming 等技术使CPU 和 I/O不停忙来提高性能 批处理适合于需要极少用户交互的Job。


a. What are two such problems? b. Can we ensure the same degree of security in a time-shared machine as we have in a dedicated machine? Explain your answer. 用户之间互相偷数据、代码 对系统资源使用的记账信息


b. Change to monitor mode. c. Read from monitor memory. d. Write into monitor memory. g. Turn off timer interrupt.

4.5 What are the benefits and detriments of each of the following? Consider both the systems and the programmers’ levels.

a. Symmetric and asymmetric communication b. Automatic and explicit buffering c. Send by copy and send by reference d. Fixed-sized and variable-sized messages

2.3 What are the differences between a trap and an interrupt? What is the use of each function?


An interrupt是硬件产生的系统内的流的改变 A trap是软件产生的“中断”。 interrupt可以被I/O用来产生完成的信号，从而避免CPU对设备的轮 询 A trap可以用来调用OS的例程或者捕获算术错误
