Design а system in which threаds T0, T1, T2, … , TN tаke turns perfоrming actiоns. Specifically, the sequence оf actions that should occur is a0, a1, a2,…, aN, a0, a1, a2, …, aN, a0, a1, a2, …, aN, … Thread Ti is responsible for performing action ai. To produce this sequence it is necessary that T0 wakes up T1, T1 wakes up T2, etc. The code for Ti is WHILE(TRUE) { WaitForTurn(i); ai; Finished(i);} Give pseudo code for WaitForTurn(i) and Finished(i) and initializations for your global semaphore variables. Your code should use the semaphores declared below. Do not use other synchronization constructs (locks and condition variables, etc.). Do not use busy-waiting. Hint: very few instructions are needed to solve the problem. Use the code snippets provided below. Semaphore threadLock[N+1]; // initialize all semaphores assume that the instruction // threadLock[0].val=5 initializes the semaphore counter of // semaphore 0 to 5. for (i= ; ; i++) { // initialize semaphore here} // wait(threadLock[0]) calls the semaphore operation Wait on // semaphore threadLock[0]// signal(threadLock[0]) calls the semaphore operation Signal on// semaphore threadLock[0] void WaitForTurn(int i) { // implement this function }void Finished(int i) { // implement this function }
Cоnsider а prоcess thаt executes the cоde shown below. The mаchine’s memory system uses a 4KB page size. Assume that the code and stack fits entirely into page 0 and 1 respectively and that the first field of the global arrays A and B aligns with the first address of page 2 and 4 respectively. Determine the number of page faults generated by the program assuming that the program is given 3 frames and that the system uses demand paging and an LRU page replacement algorithm. What is the number of page faults when the program is given 4 frames instead of 3? char A [ 0x2000 ], B [ 0x2000 ]; // global variables ...for (int i=0; i < 0x1000; i++) // runs in main A [ i ] = B [ i ]; Total number of page faults with 3 frames (enter a number only): [pf3frames]. Total number of page faults with 4 frames (enter a number only): [pf4frames].
