Program Plan Intro

Deadlocks:

  • The deadlock denotes a situation where a collection of threads remains blocked.
  • It denotes waiting for a condition that will never be true.
  • The progress graph denotes invaluable tool for understanding deadlock.
  • If “P” and “V” operations are been ordered incorrectly, the forbidden regions for two semaphores would overlap.
  • If some execution trajectory reaches deadlock state “d” then no further progress is possible.
  • In this case each thread waits for the other one for a “V” operation that never occurs.
  • The overlapping forbidden regions would induce a set of states called “deadlock region”.
  • The deadlock is inevitable is trajectory touches a state in deadlock region.
  • Once it enters deadlock regions, the trajectories could never leave.

Mutex lock ordering rule:

  • A program is deadlock-free if each thread acquires its mutexes in order.
  • It releases them in reverse order and given a total ordering for all mutexes.
  • The mutex should be achieved in order to ensure deadlock free scheme.

A graph is a collection of vertices and edges G(V, E). A weighted graph has weights (numbers, etc.) on every edge. A multigraph can have more than one edges between any vertices. Explain why a person should use a weighted graph instead of a multigraph. Give examples.   An adjacency matrix might be a better choice for speeding up a program, however, it consumes huge memory for large graphs. How this situation can be improved? What programming constructs better suit graph representation? Explain with example
Correct answer will be upvoted else Multiple Downvoted. Computer science.     You should stop precisely one of these boards, at any subsequent you wish. Then, at that point, the boards adjoining it get stopped one second after the fact, the boards nearby those get stopped 2 seconds after the fact, etc. At the end of the day, in the event that you stop board x, board y (for all substantial y) would be stopped precisely |x−y| seconds after the fact.    For instance, assume there are 4 boards, and the 3-rd board is stopped when the digit 9 is on it.    The board 1 stops 2 seconds after the fact, so it has the digit 1;    the board 2 stops 1 second after the fact, so it has the digit 0;    the board 4 stops 1 second after the fact, so it has the digit 0.    The subsequent 4-digit number is 1090. Note that this model isn't ideal for n=4.    When all boards have been stopped, you compose the digits showed on them from left to right, to frame a n digit number (it can comprise of driving…
Correct answer will be upvoted else downvoted. Computer science.    You are permitted to alter the marks through the accompanying activity:    Pick two particular integers I and j among 1 and n.    Trade the marks of focuses I and j, lastly    Draw the section between focuses I and j.    A grouping of tasks is legitimate if in the wake of applying every one of the activities in the succession all together, the k-th point winds up having the name k for all k among 1 and n comprehensive, and the drawn sections don't meet each other inside. Officially, assuming two of the portions cross, they should do as such at a typical endpoint of the two sections.    Specifically, all drawn portions should be unmistakable.    Track down any legitimate arrangement of activities, or say that none exist.    Input    The main line contains an integer n (3≤n≤2000) — the number of focuses.    The I-th of the accompanying n lines contains three integers xi, yi, man-made intelligence (−106≤xi,yi≤106,…
