There are four general states of a process: (1) ready, (2) running, (3) waiting, and (4) terminated. Discuss the importance of t

The following diagram shows a timeline of events a, b,... k, (on four processes (PPPP). Each process assigns Lamport timestamps to events, with each process counter initialized to 0 and incremented prior to each event. Hence, evente is easigned a Lemport timestamp of 1. What is the Lamport timestamp of event gon P? Po P₁ P₂ P₂ 1 a k C time

a)Consider the producer-consumer problem, Assume that the Consumer Process happens to run first and this process is allowed to run for about 10ms (it means that its running time can be very long). Describe what happens and explain any changes to any of the shared variables, and the flow of control (which statements in the Consumer Process execute). b) Assume that the Consumer Process is swapped out, and the Producer Process gets its chance to run, and the Producer Process is allowed to run for about 10ms (it means that its running time can be very long). Describe what happens and explain any changes to any of the shared variables, and the flow of control (which statements in the Consumer Process execute).
