This is a computer science engineering quiz on the operating systems, which includes questions based on virtual memory, use of virtual memory, advantages of virtual memory, etc.
_____ is the concept in which a process is copied into the main memory from the secondary memory according to the requirement.
The primary purpose of an operating system is:
Which of the following operating system reads and reacts in actual time?
