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.
For me what I think are the most significant kernel components when it comes
To process control would be the Device and File system drivers, Hardware
abstraction layer (HAL), and the System service dispatcher.

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.
-Drivers for the Device and File Systems It's a kernel-mode component that
runs as part of the Windows executive and serves as a software interface to
hardware. A HAL component's principal goal is to hide diverse hardware
architectures from the operating system by providing a consistent interface to
the system peripherals. Finally, there is the System service dispatcher. This
will prohibit the illegal usage of certain and potentially hazardous native APIs
within any kernel drive module
a.What is the operating system of the device?
(2
points)
-The operating system for my smartphone is Android Nougat 7.1

C.What is the available or remaining memory capacity (RAM) of the
device?
(2
points)
- The available and remaining memory capacity of my smartphone is 1GB left.
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)
-The five running applications that my smartphone has installed that
consumes high memory
utilization are Google Messenger, Facebook Tiktok, And Mobile Legends. For
Facebook this
application consumes about to a total of 567mb, On Messenger it consumes
about the
amount of 200mb, On Google in consumes 369mb, Tiktok has the second
largest consumption
on my running applications with the amount of 1.02GB, and lastly the Mobile
Legends has the
amount of 3GBmb of memory consumption and this is the largest
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)
-The five running background processes that consumes high memory
utilization to my
smartphone are Mobile Legends, Google, Google play Services, , and
Youtube . Mobile Legend
consumed 202mb, Google Consumed 369mb, Google Play Services
consumed 439mb,
Youtube consumed 422mb.
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)
-It would be the application processes for me because they take a
lot more RAM from my
smartphone than the background system processes.
g.Give
three
(3)
possible
ways
to
connect
your
device
to
other
devices.
Describe
each
in
one
(1)
sentence.
My phone can connect to other devices in three different ways. First, through
Bluetooth,
because that function allows my phone to link with other devices and connect
to them. The
second function is Wi-Fi Direct, which allows me to connect to the smart
television by pairing
my smartphone with it. Last but not least, I can utilize apps like Share it to
connect to other
nearby devices and share my resources with them.

h.Does the process of connecting your device to other devices create
new processes?
Why
or why
not?
(Essay: 5 points)
-My own opinion is that it does not generate a new process because it is just
linked to another
device.
i.Describe the functionality of your device in the less-privileged mode.
(Essay: 5
points)
The functionality of the less privileged mode on my smartphone is poor to say
the least
because through that
it
becomes laggy everytime m y phone is connected to a internet and
because of my low grade processor my display fps drop always and it doesn’t
work well.but it is
usable.
j.Identify at least two (2) ways on how you can terminate processes in
your device and briefly
describe each.
(Essay: 5
points)
The 2 ways on how I can terminate my device is First to restart my phone.
The other
way is to to delete the data of the application
