Question

question 1 (mandatory) (1 point) which of the following is a key function of resource allocation for devices? increasing the processing speed of the cpu managing user access to files preventing software from crashing ensuring devices have the necessary resources to operate efficiently question 2 (mandatory) (1 point) what is the primary purpose of direct memory access (dma)? to allocate memory for applications to allow devices to transfer data directly to and from memory without cpu intervention to increase the speed of cpu processing to manage device drivers

Explanation:

For Question 1, resource - allocation for devices aims to distribute resources like memory, bandwidth etc. so that devices operate efficiently. It's not about increasing CPU speed directly, managing file access or preventing software crashes.
For Question 2, DMA allows devices to transfer data to and from memory without the CPU having to be involved in every transfer, freeing up CPU time for other tasks.

Answer:

Question 1: Ensuring devices have the necessary resources to operate efficiently
Question 2: To allow devices to transfer data directly to and from memory without CPU intervention
