Which statement is true about the assembly programs we have been writing? The operating system manages how many cores it runs as a process on a single core there is no way to make assembly programs access memory faster the operating system manages how many cores it runs on Its not this one there can be only one instance of our program Which items are multi tasking scheduling methods?

Explanation / Answer

7. using SIMD

Single instruction, multiple data (SIMD) describes computers with multiple processing elements that perform the same operation on multiple data points simultaneously. It is an example of making common case fast.

9. The process of switching of the CPU from one process or thread to another is known as "Context Switch".

19. Ada Lovalace is regarded as the first programmer. She has written the world's first machine algorithm for an early computing machine that existed only on paper.
