100% Accurate.
address binding correct answers the process of mapping a program's symbolic addresses to
physical addresses in memory
application software correct answers programs designed to help users perform specific tasks,
such as word processing, web browsing, or gaming
batch processing correct answers a method of executing a series of jobs on a computer
without manual intervention where tasks are processed in batches
base register correct answers a register in the CPU that holds the starting address of the
current memory segment; used in address translation
bounds register correct answers a register that holds the ending address of a memory
segment, ensuring that memory accesses stay within the allocated range
context switch correct answers the process of storing and restoring the state of a CPU so
multiple processes can share a single CPU
CPU scheduling correct answers the method by which an operating system decides which
processes should be executed by the CPU and in what order
demand paging correct answers a memory management scheme where pages of data are
brought into memory only when they are needed rather than in advance
dumb terminal correct answers a simple display and input device with no processing power
relying on a central computer for computing tasks
dynamic partition technique correct answers a memory management method where memory
is divided into variable-sized partitions based on the needs of processes
first-come, first-served (FCFS) correct answers a CPU scheduling algorithm that processes
requests in the order they arrive without priority
fixed partition technique correct answers a memory management method where memory is
divided into fixed-sized partitions, each holding one process
frame correct answers a fixed-size block of physical memory used in paging systems to hold
pages of virtual memory
logical address correct answers an address generated by the CPU during a program's
execution that is then translated to a physical address
mainframe correct answers a large, powerful computer that can handle many simultaneous
users and tasks, often used in enterprise environments
