Task Performance Prelim - Platform Technology

The three most significant kernel components for process control are the object manager, power manager, and security reference monitor. The object manager manages objects like files, devices, and registry keys. The power manager efficiently manages power usage of devices. The security reference monitor verifies that activities do not conflict with system policies. As an example, device and file system drivers interface with hardware as a Windows executive component operating in kernel mode.

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.
- Object manager
Objects are managed by the Windows kernel-mode object manager component. In kernel
mode, all objects—including files, devices, synchronization methods, registry keys, etc.—are
represented as objects. Each object has a body and a header with details about it, like its
name, type, and location (containing data in format determined by each type of object).
- Power manager
This manages how efficiently different devices use power. It can be programmed to save
energy by turning off inactive hardware, the system, or by putting the processor to sleep.
- Security reference monitor
Security is a feature of operating systems that is becoming more and more crucial. The
operating system must verify that an activity does not conflict with system policy before it
can be performed. For instance, a gadget might or might not be open to all requests. You
could want to enable some requests to succeed or fail while building a driver, based on the
consent of the entity making the request.

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.
- Device and file system drivers
It serves as the software's interface to the hardware and is a Windows executive component
that operates in kernel mode. The hardware abstraction layer (HAL) aims to build different
hardware architecture from the operating system by providing the same interface to the
system.

Part 2

a. What is the operating system of the device?


- Android 11
b. What is the total memory capacity (RAM) of the device?
- 6GB
c. What is the available or remaining memory capacity (RAM) of the device?
- 3.29GB
d. Enumerate five (5) running application processes in the device. Select applications that consume
high memory utilization. Indicate the memory allocation for each process.
1. Android OS (1.1GB)
2. Google Play services (261MB)
3. Google (253MB)
4. Android System (251MB)
5. Facebook (186MB)
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.
1. Phone Master (371MB)
2. Google (217MB)
3. Facebook (183MB)
4. Settings (168MB)
5. Messenger(158MB)
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.
- For me, the application processes because they consume a lot more RAM on my device than
the system background activities do.
i. Give three (3) possible ways to connect your device to other devices. Describe each in one (1)
sentence.
- To connect, you must first connect a USB cord to both your computer and phone (USB
ports). Second is Bluetooth, which facilitates connectivity with cordless devices. Other
gadgets can connect to our internet device through Wi-Fi as well.
j. Does the process of connecting your device to other devices create new processes? Why or why
not?
- For me, the answer is yes because our devices can talk to one another while they are simply
connected to one another. Data can be moved from one device to another.
k. What are the possible effects of ending (force stop) multiple processes in your device? Elaborate
on your answer.
- When we force stop the app, most of the other folks they are known to close it right away.
While running in the background, some programs can still function and be active. The force
stop command will end all background and foreground processes associated with that
particular app.
l. Describe the functionality of your device in the less-privileged mode.
- When I say in less privileged mode, it is weaker than that of others because even the
performance is unsatisfactory, particularly if it is utilized as a high application and because
the low processor causes frame dropouts.
m. Identify at least two (2) ways on how you can terminate processes in your device and briefly
describe each.
- The method is the force stop, it can manage in the settings and go to application and open
“manage application”. Select the “running applications” and select the application you want
to force stop then you will below the button for the force stop. The second method is to
freeze the app, what you need is to download an app that can freeze or sometimes there is
built in freeze service in phone. Just like force stop, you need to select and application you
want to freeze.
