Consider three jobs: Job Name Priority H High M Medium L Low Suppose H is blocked by L for some shared resource. The priority inheritance protocol requires that L executes its critical section at H’s (high) priority. As a result, M will be unable to preempt L and will be blocked. That is, the higher-priority job M must wait for …
What is spin lock?
Locks are used in operating system to reserve critical section resources for mutual exclusion. Suppose a task is running and a little time (execution time) is left for its completion, That is: The running time left for it is less compared to the time that would be taken in blocking it and context switching. Under this situation it is not …
What is the difference between Swapping and Paging?
Swapping is a technique, used by medium term scheduler to send processes in waiting state from main memory to backing storage (called swap-out) and to bring processes which are ready to execute back into main memory from backing storage. Paging is a technique of memory management to allocate non-contiguous memory to a process. A process is divided into pages and …
Compare short term scheduler, medium term scheduler and long term scheduler.
S.N. Long-Term Scheduler Short-Term Scheduler Medium-Term Scheduler It is a job scheduler It is a CPU scheduler It is a process swapping scheduler. Speed is lesser than short term scheduler Speed is fastest among other two Speed is in between both short and long term scheduler. It controls the degree of multiprogramming It provides lesser control over degree of multiprogramming …
Static vs Dynamic Loading
Selection of Static or Dynamic Loading is made by developer at the time of computer program being developed. In case of static loading, the complete program is compiled and linked without leaving any external program or module dependency at the time of compilation. With static loading, the absolute program (and data) is loaded into memory in order for execution to …
Difference between computer architecture and computer organization?
Computer organization is about organization of all hardware devices into a system where as, architecture explains about the functions of hardware devices. The architecture indicates its hardware whereas, the organization reveals its performance. For designing a computer, its architecture is fixed first and then its organization is decided.
What are Aggregate and Scalar Functions available in SQL?
Aggregate and Scalar functions are in built function for counting and calculations. Aggregate functions operate against a group of values but returns only one value. AVG(column):- Returns the average value of a column COUNT(column):- Returns the number of rows (without a NULL value) of a column COUNT(*):- Returns the number of selected rows MAX(column):- Returns the highest value of a …
What is the difference between 32 bit and 64 bit operating systems?
A 64-bit operating system can move 64 bits of data per clock cycle. A 32-bit operating system can move only 32 bits of data per clock cycle. A 64-bit OS is better than 32-bit because: It effectively doubles system capabilities if the system is running a 64-bit processor. More information can be sent at one time on a 64-bit system …
What is the difference between safe mode booting of a system and normal mode booting of a system?
In normal mode booting all the drivers are loaded in main memory but in safe mode only default drivers are loaded.
