1. In a multiprogramming and time sharing environment‚ several users share the system simultaneously. This situation can results in various security problems. a. What are the two such problems? Ans: The two problems in Multiprogramming and time sharing environment are Stealing or copying a user’s files; Writing over another program’s (belonging to another user or to the OS) area in memory; Using system resources (CPU‚ disk space) without proper accounting; Causing the printer to mix output by

CHAPTER 5 CPU Scheduling Practice Exercises 5.1 A CPU-scheduling algorithm determines an order for the execution of its scheduled processes. Given n processes to be scheduled on one processor‚ how many different schedules are possible? Give a formula in terms of n. Answer: n! (n factorial = n × n – 1 × n – 2 × ... × 2 × 1). Explain the difference between preemptive and nonpreemptive scheduling. Answer: Preemptive scheduling allows a process to be interrupted in the midst of its execution

1. AIM: To write a C program to simulate the shortest job first algorithm with preemption. DESCRIPTION: For implementing SJF algorithm with preemption‚ we consider the arrival times of each process‚ the burst times of all the previously arrived processes. After the arrival of all the processes into the ready queue‚ the average waiting time and turn around time can be calculated by using the above algorithm. ALGORITHM: 1) start 2) read the no of processes to n 3) initialize i to 0 4) if

Samuel Obasanya CSC 226-051 Fall 2013 October 24‚ 2013 Key Terms Lightweight process; this is the unit of dispatching also known as thread. Multithreading; this refers to the ability of an os to support multiple‚ concurrent paths of Execution within a single process. Kernel-level thread; this is a type of threading in which all of the work of thread management is done by the kernel. Thread; this is a single execution path‚ with an execution stack‚ processor stack‚ and scheduling information

Operating Systems Assignment #5 Of Chapter 4 Eighth Edition of Operating System Concepts by Avi Silberschatz Peter Baer Galvin & Greg Gagne 2009 4.1 Provide two programming examples in which multithreading does not provide better performance than a single-threaded solution Answer: (1) Any kind of sequential program is not a good candidate to be threaded. An example of this is a program that calculates an individual tax return. (2) Another example is a "shell" program such as

A process is a program in execution. As a process executes or it changes state. The state of a process is defined by that process’s current activity. Each process may be in one of the following states: new‚ ready running‚ waiting; or terminated
