It is a technique where data is temporarily held to be used and executed by a device, program, or the system. In the context of operating systems:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Spooled devices<\/strong> are those that can have their data queued for processing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Line printers<\/strong> are classic examples. When multiple processes send print jobs, the data is spooled (typically to a disk) and then printed sequentially.<\/li>\n<li>This allows the CPU to proceed with other tasks without waiting for the printing to complete.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>\ud83d\udcda Additional Resources<\/h3>\n<p>For further reading and practice:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>GATE Overflow<\/strong> provides discussions and explanations for various GATE questions:<\/li>\n<li><strong>Examside<\/strong> offers a collection of past GATE questions with solutions:<\/li>\n<li><strong>GATEForum<\/strong> has archived GATE question papers available for download:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<p>If you need more information on spooling, operating system concepts, or additional GATE preparation materials, feel free to ask!<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/gateforum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/CS-1996.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Spooled Devices &#8211; GATE 1996 &#8211; Operating System Previous Year gate question papers and answers<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spooled Devices &#8211; GATE 1996 &#8211; Operating System Previous Year gate question papers and answers [fvplayer id=&#8221;328&#8243;] Here is the detailed information regarding the GATE 1996 Operating Systems question on spooled devices: \ud83d\udcd8 GATE 1996 \u2013 Operating Systems \u2013 Question on Spooled Devices Question 1.20: Which of the following is an example of a spooled [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":66,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[78],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3272","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-operating-system"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.reilsolar.com\/pdf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3272","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.reilsolar.com\/pdf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.reilsolar.com\/pdf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reilsolar.com\/pdf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/66"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reilsolar.com\/pdf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3272"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.reilsolar.com\/pdf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3272\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.reilsolar.com\/pdf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3272"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reilsolar.com\/pdf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3272"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reilsolar.com\/pdf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3272"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
