2. In ET344 students work with the registers when programming the Arduino boards. What are the memory registers on computers and how similar or different are they compared to the registers from ET344?

3. Both chapters 1 and 2 discuss the use of paging. explain to the best of your ability how a linear address space may appear to be a single range but can actually be physical and disk storage.

4. Specifically explain how the virtual to physical addressing works in relation to the linear address space?

5. What does privilege isolation do on computer systems and why would malicious software makers want to find ways to bypass the isolation?

6. When analyzing physical and virtual memory, what are the challenges of finding the data from a linked list?
