Task Performance Processes

Part 1
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
 The three kernel components that have a significant process control. First is Virtual
Memory the kernel virtual memory contains the code and data structures in the kernel.
Some regions of the kernel virtual memory are mapped to physical pages that are
shared by all processes. For example, each process shares the kernel's code and global
data structures. The second component that I choose Power Manager because it can
manages the orderly change in power status for all devices that support power state
changes. This is often done through a complex stack of devices controlling other device.
The last one that I choose is the Object Manager it is a component controls the objects.
In kernel mode, everything is represented as an object, including files, devices,
synchronization methods, registry entries, etc.

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.
 Power Manager
 For all devices that enable power state changes, Power Manager can handle the orderly
change in power status. A sophisticated stack of devices controlling other devices is
frequently used to accomplish this. And it can help to ensure the safe, reliable, efficient,
and compliant operation of your electrical distribution systems, including the assets
connected to it.

Part 2
a. What is the operating system of the device?
 Android

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

 3gb RAM

c. What is the available or remaining memory capacity (RAM) of the device? (2 points)
 1.5gb RAM

d. Enumerate five (5) running application processes in the device. Select applications that
consume high memory utilization. Indicate the memory allocation for each process
 Messenger - 148mb
 Facebook - 218mb
 YouTube - 38.98mb
 TikTok - 675mb
 Chrome - 88.82mb
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.
 Google - 99.48mb
 Settings - 135.02mb
 Photos - 25.00mb
 Messages - 23.76mb
 HeyTap Cloud - 22.15

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.
 The application processes because, in my experience using my device, it can
function even when I'm not using it. For instance, the messenger always runs on my
system even when I'm not using it.

g. Give three (3) possible ways to connect your device to other devices. Describe each in one
 Bluetooth
Bluetooth-enabled devices immediately recognize one another when they are in
proximity. Around 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth operates on 79 distinct radio frequencies.
 USB Cable
The host computer will recognize the type of device when it is connected over USB,
and it will automatically load the necessary drivers to make the device work.
 Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi transmits data between your device and a router using radio waves that travel
at specific frequencies.

h. Does the process of connecting your device to other devices create new processes? Why or
why not?
 Yes, both an operating system and a device driver fall under the category of
software. However, an operating system is used to manage that specific device,
while one device driver acts as a bridge between them. Device drivers, therefore,
can launch new processes whenever an input enters the CPU.

i. What are the possible effects of ending (force stop) multiple processes in your device?
Elaborate on your answer.
 Force-stopping a misbehaving program in this situation might be useful since it ends
all the app's active processes. The software can no longer access its cache files as a
result. The app stops responding because it can no longer communicate with the
resources on your device.
j. Describe the functionality of your device in the less-privileged mode.
 A principle of information security that restricts users' access permissions to those
that are necessary for them to do their duties Only the files or resources required
for them to do their duties are given to user’s authorization to read, write, or
execute.
k. Identify at least two (2) ways on how you can terminate processes in your device and briefly
describe each.
 The first is that all the running apps on your phone may be stopped by
restarting them. The second method involves forcibly closing the
applications.
