Question

One form of this construct exhibits optimal performance with the impossible-to-implement Bélády’s algorithm. The valgrind utility is used to debug errors with this construct. (10[1])Insufficient locality of this construct leads to thrashing, which involves pages of it constantly swapping. (-5[1])Calling “free” twice can lead to an incorrect access of this construct (10[1])called a segfault. (10[1])Pointers (-5[2])are so named for “pointing” to this construct. (10[2])A form of this construct (10[2])known as a cache can be used to reduce the number of reads and writes to (10[1])this construct’s “random-access” (10[1])form. (10[1])For 10 points, (10[1])name this construct whose size is measured in gigabytes. ■END■ (10[1])

ANSWER: computer memory [accept random-access memory or virtual memory; accept cache until read; prompt on RAM]
