Answer:
False.
Explanation:
The description provided matches better with Software performance testing, and shouldn't be confused with a benchmark.
In computing, a benchmark is a tool or software designed to measure the average performance of another program, by running several tests and trials against it.
A performance testing is designed to measure the performance and responsiveness of a computer system (not a program) under a heavy workload.
Cognitive surplus results when leisure time and available tools allow us to engage in creative acts. It is a term that was introduced by Clay Shirky which pertains to the synthesis of the excess of people's energy, time and creativity leading to productivity sharing and creation.
Answer:
Automated Reasoning
Explanation:
Automated reasoning is a type of Natural language understanding(NLP) in computer science that makes logical inferences based on information or data previously gathered. Automated reasoning allows computers make intelligent decisions and reason logically based on data gathered. For example, a system is based to scan online reviews and conclude on the ones that are negative reactions based on previous data.
Answer:
The space available will vary between 800 GB (100%) and 400 GB (50%) of the total disks, depending on the RAID level.
The OS will handle the RAID as a single disk.
Explanation:
Each RAID level implements parity and redundancy in a different way, so the amount of disks used for this extra information will reduce the space available for actual storage.
Usual RAID levels are:
<u>RAID 0:</u> does not implement any redundancy or parity, so you will have available 100% of the total storage: 8 x 100 GB = 800 GB
<u>RAID 1:</u> Duplicates all the information in one disk to a second disk. Space is reduced in half: 400 GB
<u>RAID 5:</u> Uses the equivalent of 1 disk of parity data distributed evenly on each disk, meaning the space available is 
of the total disks: 
of 800 GB = 700 GB
Writting and reading the information on a RAID storage is handled by a raid controller, either implemented in hardware or software. The OS will "see" a single disk and will read or write information as usual.
