Question
Chapter 3, Problem 27CRP
Program Plan Intro
Dispatcher of
Dispatcher assigns a time slice to a process and it is the component of a kernel which is the internal part of an operating system.
- Multiprogramming is the system in which time is divided into intervals called as time slice and CPU switches between the processes in which the execution of each process is restricted to only one time slice.
- When one time slice executes the process, it is saved by dispatcher and then dispatcher loads the process state of a new process of new time slice.

sleep() is a system call? What are the steps that occur from the time when a call to sleep() is made by a process up to the time that it returns?
This question is on Process Synchronization in Operating Systems. You need to read the following scenario and find out which Process Synchronization method it resembles with.
There are 3 washrooms for men and one for women. Only one person can enter a restroom at a time. When a person leaves the washroom, another person is allowed to enter the washroom. When they are not using the washroom, they are not doing anything. Men are not allowed to use the female washroom. So on a fine rainy day, 9 men arrived and 3 men were allowed to enter the 3 washrooms at a time. They were not allowed to use the female washroom even though it was vacant. What Process Synchronization method has been used here?
A) Producer-Consumer
B) Readers-Writers
C) Dining Philosophers
"Interrupt" or "Traps" may stop a process in its tracks.Give instances of Interrupt and Trap and the differences between them.
