The course is built on three pillars. Virtualization gives each program the illusion of having the machine to itself. Concurrency keeps results correct when programs really do run alongside one another. Persistence keeps data available after a program ends or the power goes out. Three things go wrong on one machine. (i) Two programs write to the same file and the lines come out mixed together. (ii) A program reads one of its own addresses and finds another program’s data there. (iii) A file written yesterday is missing after a restart. Which pillar does each belong to?

In 1998 the CIH virus running on Windows 95/98 could reach the boot sector of a disk — the part holding the code a machine needs in order to start — and destroy it.

A patient is postoperative day one following an emergent pericardial window for a hemorrhagic pericardial effusion. The nurse enters the room to find the patient increasingly restless and short of breath. Blood pressure has dropped from 118/76 an hour ago to 82/60 now, with a narrowed pulse pressure. Heart rate has climbed to 128, and heart sounds are notably muffled and distant on auscultation compared to the prior assessment. The nurse notes the neck veins are visibly distended, and while manually checking blood pressure, observes the systolic reading drops by nearly 14 mmHg during inspiration. The mediastinal chest tube, which had been draining briskly, has put out only 5 mL over the last two hours. The nurse recognizes that this patient is exhibiting the classic findings of Beck’s triad, which are: [BLANK-1]
