Dividing tasks so that the Operating System appears to multitask is dealt with under:

• Memory Management

• File Management

• Processor Management

• Peripheral Management

Diving processor time between processes so that they appear to multitask is known as:

• Time Slicing

• Fish Slicing

• Time waiting

• Idle Time

Operating Systems will allocate sections of RAM to the processes as part of:

• Processor Management

• File Management

• Peripheral Management

• Memory Management

This piece of software is used to control hardware devices and allow an Operating System to make use of the hardware
