Ass02Q4 - 12 years ago

If I am not mistaking, does a word not equal to 8 bits? Secondly if you are mapping logical memory to physical memory does not that mean that both will hold the same amount of bits because it is not mentionned that we are using virtual memory technique. Or doest it imply it when we talk of physical and logical memory. Does anyone know what should be done for this question. Thanks

Operating System Examples - 12 years ago

In the chapters in the 7th edition there are sections which illustrate concepts in those chapters with os examples. Do we need to study and take notes for these sections or just read it and see how the concepts are used in practice. I am studying the chapter on process synchronization and find it difficult to grasp the concepts. Can anyone provide clarifications and give me tips on how to proceed
