QUESTION 6:
(a) You are asked by a high-tech aeronautical company to design a very critical software program for use
in a flight navigation system. The system must be capable of complex calculations, including detecting
altitude, speed, and other various flight conditions, very quickly. This software will only be run on a very
specialized computer that was designed for this application only.
Would you choose to design a compiled system, or an interpreted system? Why? Explain.

(b) You are asked by a college to design a software program that will allow students to enroll in classes
from home or anywhere else they may be at any given time. This college does not issue personal
machines to each student, so there is no telling what type of computer a student may be using.
Obviously the college wants the maximum number of students to be able to use the system, to increase
student satisfaction and retention.
Would you choose to design a compiled system, or an interpreted system? Why? Explain. Show all work.

QUESTION 7:
A computer user wants to load and watch a 10GB movie file.
The operating system is monitoring the 8GB of RAM available in the machine. The operating system
determines that there are only 2 GB of free RAM available, and that all the rest of it is currently being
used by other applications/data files/etc.
(a) What will the operating system need to do? Explain.

(b) What effect will this have on the performance of the computer? Why? Show all work.

Explanation / Answer

As it is chegg policy to answer one question per answer. Hence, I am answering the 7th question. Please upload other question and you'll surely get the answer. Thankyou.

Operating System:

As, it is seen that the RAM has been covered and there is need of RAM for functioning the rest of the files then the RAM will be adjusted by considering the former points.They are as follows:

Effect on Performance:

There will be an severe effect on the performance of the operating system. The effects are been listed below:

Hence, one must never use the memory to it's fullest in the bad way as it is been described above. It leads in system malfunctioning and many more disabilities.
