Part 1 (3 items x 5 points)

1. Recall the details about the kernel components of a Windows operating system (OS). Based on the
figure below, select three (3) kernel components that you think are the most significant in terms of
process control.

 Process Scheduler
 Memory Manager
 I/O Manager

2. Give one (1) sample process that can be executed by each kernel component you have selected.
Explain each sample process relative to its corresponding process control structure. Perform additional
research if necessary.

 Process Scheduler:
 Sample Process: Running a multi-threaded application like a web browser
Explanation: The Process Scheduler is responsible for allocating CPU time to various processes.

Part 2 (60 points)

Select a computing device or a gadget (i.e., smartphone, tablet, and laptop) that you currently have
access to. Then, answer the following items:

a. What is the operating system of the device? (2 points)

 Android 12 (Smartphone)

b. What is the total memory capacity (RAM) of the device? (2 points)

 6 GB

c. What is the available or remaining memory capacity (RAM) of the device? (2 points)

 2 GB

d. Enumerate five (5) running application processes in the device. Select applications that consume high
memory utilization. Indicate the memory allocation for each process. (5 items x 2 points)
1. YouTube: 500 MB
2. Google Chrome: 355 MB
3. Instagram: 300 MB
4. Spotify: 100 MB
5. Facebook: 59 MB

e. Enumerate five (5) running background processes or system processes in the device. Select processes
that consume high memory utilization. Indicate the memory allocation for each process. (5 items x 2
points)

1. Android System: 200 MB


2. Google Play Services: 180 MB
3. Samsung UI (One UI Home): 150 MB
4. Wi-Fi Service: 120 MB
5. Bluetooth Service: 100 MB

f. Which has higher memory utilization in your device, the background/system processes or the
application processes? Briefly explain the condition of processes in your device to support your answer.
(Essay: 5 points)

 Application processes generally consume more memory on my device, as seen from the
individual memory allocations of apps like Youtube and Chrome, which are higher than system
processes.

g. Give three (3) possible ways to connect your device to other devices. Describe each in one (1)
sentence. (3 items x 3 points)

 Wi-Fi: Allows connection to other devices over a wireless network for data sharing or internet
access.
 Bluetooth: Facilitates short-range wireless communication between devices, ideal for file
transfer or connecting peripherals like headphones.
 USB Cable: A physical connection for data transfer between the device and a computer or for
charging.

h. Does the process of connecting your device to other devices create new processes? Why or why not?
(Essay: 5 points)

 Yes, connecting my device to another device often creates new processes.

i. What are the possible effects of ending (force stop) multiple processes in your device? Elaborate on
your answer. (Essay: 5 points)

 Force-stopping multiple processes can have various effects, including improving device
performance by freeing up memory and CPU resources.
j. Describe the functionality of your device in the less-privileged mode. (Essay: 5 points)

 In less-privileged mode the device restricts direct access to hardware and critical system
resources.

k. Identify at least two (2) ways on how you can terminate processes in your device and briefly describe
each. (Essay: 5 points)

1. Through the Application Manager I can open the application manager in the settings menu
select the app and choose Force Stop to terminate the process manually.
2. Through Task Manager Using a task management tool I can view all running processes and
manually close those that are consuming too many resources.
