SLR 4 Quiz 2 - Paging Sementation

What is the purpose of virtual memory in a computer system?

• To speed up the CPU processing

• To reduce the cost of memory storage

• To store significantly more programs on the hard disk compared to RAM

• To increase the size of the random access memory

What is the main difference between paging and segmentation in memory management?

• Paging divides memory into fixed sizes, while segmentation divides memory based on logical divisions

• Paging divides memory based on logical divisions, while segmentation divides memory into fixed sizes

• Paging and segmentation both divide memory into fixed sizes

• Paging and segmentation both divide memory based on logical divisions

Why is it not desirable to move a program in memory to consolidate free space?

• It takes a lot of time to move a program in memory or on disk

• It increases the cost of memory storage

• It reduces the overall memory capacity

• It causes the CPU to slow down

What happens when a computer runs out of RAM during program execution?

• The CPU stops processing instructions

• The program crashes

• Instructions that are not being used are transferred to virtual memory on the hard disk

• The computer shuts down automatically

How does virtual memory give the impression that a computer has more memory than it actually has?

• By speeding up the CPU processing

• By reducing the cost of memory storage

• By increasing the size of the RAM

• By transferring instructions that are not being used to a space on the hard disk
