1 Multiprocessor system that computer systems have are also called 1 1 1 1 1.6.1
a) Parallel Systems b) Tightly couple system
c) loosely couple system d) Both A and B

8 Write short notes on Compatible Time-Sharing Systems 4 3 1 1 1.7.1
• One of the first time-sharing operating systems
• Developed at MIT by a group known as Project MAC
• Ran on a computer with 32,000 36-bit words of main
memory, with the resident monitor consuming 5000 of that
• To simplify both the monitor and memory management a
program was always loaded to start at the location of the
5000th word
Time Slicing
• System clock generates interrupts at a rate of approximately
one every 0.2 seconds
• At each interrupt OS regained control and could assign
processor to another user
• At regular time intervals the current user would be
preempted and another user loaded in
• Old user programs and data were written out to disk
• Old user program code and data were restored in main
memory when that program was next given a turn

9 Summarize the importance of threads 4 2 1 1 1.7.1


• Takes less time to create a new thread than a process
• Less time to terminate a thread than a process
• Switching between two threads takes less time that switching
processes
• Threads can communicate with each other
without invoking the kernel

10 With a neat sketch relate Tree of Processes in Linux 4 3 1 3 2.6.2

11 Explain about process termination. 4 2 1 1 1.7.1


🞂 Process executes last statement and then asks the operating system to
delete it using the exit() system call.
◦ Returns status data from child to parent (via wait())
◦ Process’ resources are deallocated by operating system
🞂 Parent may terminate the execution of children processes using the
abort() system call. Some reasons for doing so:
◦ Child has exceeded allocated resources
◦ Task assigned to child is no longer required
◦ The parent is exiting and the operating systems does not
allow a child to continue if its parent terminates
