Question
A multithreaded web server wishes to keep track of the number of requests it services (known as hits). Consider the two following strategies to prevent a race condition on the variable hits.
The first strategy is to use a basic mutex lock when updating hits:
int hits;
mutex_lock hit_lock;
hit_lock.acquire();
hits++;
hit_lock.release();
A second strategy is to use an atomic integer:
atomic_t hits;
atomic_inc(&hits);
Explain which of these two strategies is more efficient and why?

- Topic: Server Side Development How do you tell the server that session variables are being used? You do not have to add any special code. The server handles session variables automatically. Include the code: $_SESSION['sessionVarName'] = $varName; exchanging varName with the name of the variables for your program. Include the code: session_start(); as the first line in each function that uses a session variable. Include the code: session_start(); at the very top of the Web page.arrow_forwardConsider the following code snippet: waitpid(-1, &status, 0); Which of the following correctly describes the purpose of this code snippet? it is equivalent to wait(&status); it causes the parent process to wait for the child process that terminates first and fetch that child's termination status it causes the parent process to wait for the child process whose pid is -1 and fetch that child's termination status The first two choices are both correct None of the above choices are correct Which of the following statements about wait(2) and waitpid(2) are true? The waitpid(2) function can block the caller until a child process terminates, whereas wait(2) has an option that prevents it from blocking. The wait(2) function doesn't wait for the child that terminates first; it has a number of options that control which process it waits for. If a child has already terminated and is a zombie, wait(2) returns immediately with that child's status. Otherwise, it blocks the caller until a child…arrow_forwardUse stacks to implement a postfix-to-infix translator.

- Create a BinarySearch client that accepts an integer T as a command-line option and performs T trials of the following experiment for N = 103, 104, 105, and 106: Find the number of values that appear in both arrays of N randomly generated positive six-digit int values. For each number of N, print a table with the average value of this quantity over the T trials.arrow_forwardGiven a data set x, the following R commands have been run: library(cluster); agnes (x=X)->AG; KKM Match the following objects with what you expect the R output to be.

Allow the user to enter their name, but check that they are a valid user in db. Do error checking! The user should not specify the post id; that should come from the database. 3. Write three html files to test this; serve them with the blog server: index.html shows the list of posts with a link to each. post.html shows a post. publish.html allows the creation of a new post. Link these together as a user would expect!arrow_forward
