Describe the concept of readers-writers problem. Explain why a solution to this type of synchronization problem may result in starvation.

Is there always a certain delay before someone interrupts you? Is this related to context switching, and if so, how so?

Please refer to this textbook: “A. Silberschatz, P. B. Galvin and G. Gagne, “Operating System Principles,”7th Edition, John Wiley & Sons Inc., 2006.”   And answer the following questions: Question: Which mutual exclusion algorithm requires, on average, the fewest messages in a group of 100 machines? centralized. Token-ring. Lamport' s . Ricart & Agrawala

Does interrupt delay have anything to do with how long it takes to switch between contexts?

For your discussion question response, please provide a response to each of the following questions.  Make sure that you include the question followed by your answer to the question in your posting. In the description of the Hack machine language in chapter 4, it is stated that in well-written programs a C-instruction that may cause a jump should not contain a reference to M, and vice versa. Discuss why this should be avoided. Research the concept of interrupts in a computer. You may want to look into how the Z80 microprocessor handles interrupt. A good source of Z80 information is Zaks, R. (1980). Programming the Z80. Sybex. Download the pdf. FYI, The Z80 8 bit microprocessor has been in production for forty years. Knowledge of the Z80 is a great lead-in for further study in more complicated machines.

Ensure that you understand the distinction between parallel and serial programming
