Test: Characteristics of Windows NT - Computer Science Engineering (CSE) MCQ

Explanation: The VFAT is used in the Windows 95 and it also supports long file names.

Explanation: The high performance file system is an alternative file system which possess 254 characters. It is used by the OS/2 and also write caching to disk technique that stores data temporarily and write it to the disk.

Explanation: The NT filing system or NTFS is used by the Windows NT, that is its own filing system which conforms to various security operations and allows system administrators to restrict access to files.

Explanation: The high performance file system is an alternative file system which possess 254 characters. It is used by the OS/2 and also write caching to disk technique that stores data temporarily and write it to the disk

Explanation: The HAL is the hardware abstraction layer. This provides the portability across the multiprocessor and different platforms.

Explanation: The HAL or hardware abstraction layer is designed to provide portability across the different platform and different multiprocessor or single processor.

Explanation: The HAL or hardware abstraction layer defines a virtual hardware which the kernel uses when it needs to access the processor or hardware resources.

Explanation: The I/O driver is also a part of the kernel. These can provide a link between the threads and the processes and the hardware. The Windows NT driver is not compatible with the MS-DOS and Windows 3.1 drivers.

Explanation: The local procedure call is responsible for coordinating the system calls from the WIN32 subsystem and an application. Depending upon the type of the system call, the application will be routed directly with the LPC without going through the WIN32 subsystem.

Explanation: The kernel is responsible for ensuring the correct operation of all process which are running within the system. It also provides the synchronisation and the scheduling that the system needs.

Explanation: The scheduling support in the kernel support 32 level priority scheme and it can be used to schedule threads rather than processes.

Explanation: The synchronisation procedure will allows the thread to wait until a specific resource such as semaphore, object etc are available.

Explanation: The interrupts and the similar events such as exceptions can pass through the kernel which can preempt the current thread and the can reschedule the high priority thread to process.

Explanation: The Windows NT support three file system and these coexist with each other even though there are some restrictions.

Explanation: The LPC is defined as the local procedure call which is responsible for coordinating the system calls from the WIN32 subsystem and an application.
