Quiz 3 (Nov 5) Flashcards
Strictly a numerical language which is used to directly control a computer’s central processing unit.
Machine language
A language that is a complete abstraction of the processor
High-level language
A program that is invoked by the compiler as the first part of translation of C code
Preprocessor
A Windows Dynamic Link Library which is loaded once during runtime and shared
DLL
A complete library that is added to object code by the linker, for example, .a files in Linux and .lib files in Windows
Static Library
A set of symbols that can be interpreted by a computer or piece of software
Code
The system which implements portions of an execution model, specifically the environment in which a program runs.
Runtime Environment
Loads and executes a .class file by translating it to platform native code
JVM
The Application Binary Interface is platform specific and defines how a compiled file interacts with the kernel and with libraries.
ABI
A very low-level code that is machine independent and enables a compiled file to be run on different processor types.
P-code
Platform specific machine code which is the product of an assembler or compiler
Object Code
A language converted to machine code by a utility program referred to as an assembler
Assembly Language
A program that directly executes instructions written in a programming or scripting language
Interpreter
Operation code or machine language instruction
Opcode
Application programming interface
API
A library added to the object code at runtime, required modules are added by the linker
Runtime Library
A language that is a minimal abstraction of the processor
Low-level language
A collection of all the tools, executable, and binaries required to compile and execute a Java program
JDK
The encoded result done by javac, converting source code to portable code or p-code
Bytecode
A utility used to combine object code into one executable program and call the startup function
Linker
Provides a Linux Runtime Environment on a Windows platform
Cygwin
A program that translates computer code written in one programming language into another language
Compiler
A program or a program component written in a language that is compiled into executable code.
Source Module
Which program relocation type binds all logical addresses to physical addresses prior to execution?
Static
An OS tries to prevent memory from becoming fragmented. Which approach tries to fill the smallest open memory gap with a request?
Best-fit
A Microsoft Windows DLL file is an example of which type of external object reference?
Linking
Which memory paging concept defines a contiguous block of logical address space?
Page
A page table is best defined as _____ that is used to track which pages of logical address spaces reside in their corresponding page frames.
An Array
Which memory paging concept defines a contiguous block of physical memory space?
Page Frame
_____ occurs over time as a result of several processes running on a system using pure segmentation.
External fragmentation
