Pаrаllel Systems (cоmmunicаtiоn) Yоu are sitting down to implement a protected procedure call mechanism between two user level processes (client and server).  As shown in the following picture, the client and server are in different hardware address spaces. (i) (1 point) Why is kernel mediation needed to make this call happen? 

Pаrаllel Systems (lоcking) Yоu аre a new hire in a datacenter.  The datacenter is cluster оf CC-SMP nodes.  All the nodes are connected to one another through RDMA (remote direct memory access) interfaces, which allow a CPU to access the memory in another cluster directly without going through any software layers.  This allows for example, a processor to do a T&S(L), where L is a memory location anywhere in the cluster.  Your first work assignment is to implement a spin-lock algorithm that spans all the cluster nodes.    One helpful co-worker suggests implementing the ticket lock algorithm since it offers fairness for the lock requestors as shown below:  struct lock {    int next_ticket;    int now_serving;}acquire-lock(L):    int my_ticket = fetch_and_inc( L->next_ticket );    loop        pause( my_ticket - L->now_serving );        if( L->now_serving == my_ticket ) return;release_lock(L):    L->now_serving++; Another co-worker suggests implementing the lock using exponential backoff for acquiring the lock to reduce the contention upon lock release as shown below:  while (test_and_set(L) == locked){    delay(d);    d = d*2;} For releasing the lock, L is set to "unlocked." (5 points) Which of the two suggestions would you take and why?
