Chapter 25, Problem 6PE

Explanation of Solution

Average transaction

  • First a system with 100 transactions is considered.
  • Then transactions A and B each of type 25 transactions with different mixtures and 50 transactions of type C is considered.
  • The type A transaction can be executed at the time 25 /100 which is 1 / 4 that is 0.25 sec.
  • The type B transaction can be executed at the time 25 /100 which is 1 / 4 that is 0...

Explanation of Solution

Factors resulting in interference

  • While considering both the transactions, the type A transaction is holding a lock and waiting for a write operation to be performed on a disk and other transactions B and C are waiting for a lock to be released by A.
  • The calculated throughput is higher than the observed throughput in case of CPU.
  • While waiting for the lock to be released from A, it takes some time and hence the number of cycles are wasted...
