Cache Incoherency
Cache Inconsistency
Select all that apply to thread types
User level threads are managed by the process
Kernel level threads must be ran in kernel mode
Kernel level threads are used for IO bound processes
User level threads have more overhead when context switching
For implemeting a precedence constraint which of the following type of semaphore could prove useful
Blocking Semaphore
Counting Semaphore
Binary Semaphore

87.5%
92.5%
95%
85%

No frame is chosen and the algorithm ends
Randomly pick a victim
Wait for one of the writes to finish and select
Which of the following is NOT an OS responsibility?
Assigning CPU time to processes
Preventing buffer overflow in user programs
Managing virtual memory for processes
Allocating and deallocating memory for processes
Controlling access to system resources
Comparing the Monolithic and Microkernel OS architectures, which of the following statements is true?
Microkernel architecture has better performance because it can leverage hardware resources better
Monolithic architecture has better system reliability
Microkernel components are more reusable, modular, and can evolve independently
Explain the concept of naive busy waiting and why it is not an ideal solution for process synchronization
In a uniprocessor environment, ignoring the possibility of preemption, which of the following scenarios would lead to a transition of execution context from user mode to kernel mode when running a user process? Check all apply.
Calls a file read library routine
Calls a floating-point calculation library routine
Calls a fork system call
A mouse click event occurs
Consider a graph with two processes and two resources. Process P1 is holding resource R1 and waiting for resource R2, and process P2 is holding resource R2 and waiting for resource R1. Is this a deadlock situation?
True
False
Consider the following C code segment and the comments in the code. What would be the most likely sequence of process state transitions of a process executing these statements? Explain each process state transition briefly. Ignore the New state after process creation, and use a process state model that has 4 states: ready, running, blocked, terminated, and assume it starts with a running state.
