Quiz on Resource Management in Pervasive Computing

What is the primary goal of pervasive computing?

• To develop high-performance computing systems

• To create complex algorithms for data processing

• To ensure systems are accessible anytime and anywhere

• To enhance traditional computing methods

What are processing elements (PEs) in pervasive computing?

• Networking components for communication

• Devices that store data

• Software applications for user interaction

• Microprocessors with limited resources

Which component acts as the gateway for the PMP system?

• Service Layer

• Resource Router (RR)

• Calculation Node

• Client Node

What does the Calculation Node do in a PMP system?

• Schedules tasks for execution

• Executes tasks by connecting with other nodes

• Manages task requests

• Requests tasks from users

What is a key challenge in resource management for pervasive computing?

• User interface design

• Resource allocation and task migration

• Network security protocols

• Data storage solutions

What does the Randomly Allocating Algorithm (RAA) aim to improve?

• Task execution time

• Resource allocation efficiency

• Data transfer speed

• User interface responsiveness

What is the main issue with primitive resource allocation in PMP systems?

• It enhances task execution speed

• It complicates user interactions

• It requires too many processing elements

• It leads to significant wastage of computational resources

What does the term 'pipeline-based resource allocation' refer to?

• A method of reserving all PEs until task completion

• A strategy for optimizing resource usage during task phases

• A technique for enhancing user experience

• A way to increase data storage capacity

In the context of task execution efficiency, what does 'd' represent?

• Execution time

• Total tasks

• Total delay

• Communication time

What is the role of the Resource Router (RR) in a PMP system?

• To manage task requests and execution

• To execute tasks

• To store data temporarily

• To connect client nodes
