Exercise 2: Draw a State machine Diagram for a Telephone line (a process in a smartphone OS) with the following behavior: When the telephone app is not active, the telephone line is idle. When the app is activated, the line gives a dial tone and can accept the dialing of digits. If after getting the dial tone, the user doesn't dial a number within a time interval of 10 seconds, then a time-out occurs, and the line gets idle again. A button on the app can re- activate the line. After dialing a number, if the number is invalid then a recorded message is played at the end of which the line becomes idle. Upon entry of a valid number, the phone app tries to connect a call & routes it to the proper destination. If the called person answers the phone, the conversation can occur, and the line is in an on- call state. When the called person hangs up, the phone app disconnects and the line goes to the idle state.
In a timesharing OS we have the following cpu timeline for two tasks X and Y. The timeslice is 1s.Both tasks are available in the system at the same time t=9:00:00.000 and order of arrival is the obviousX followed by Y. (The decimals reflect milliseconds if they showup in an  indicated time reference.) There are no other processes (tasks) in the system other than X,Y.  1234567890 XYXYX--YXY The time line 1 indicates that at t=9:00:00s task X starts its execution and when t=9:00:01s is reached task Y takes over. The time line 1 indicates the 'first second' and time line 0 indicates the 'tenth second' above.Task Y completes its execution at t=9:00:10s, the completion of the tenth second since X started its execution. Task X has completed its execution earlier.   (a) What is the total number of context switches starting from prior to t=9:00:00s (e.g. t=8:59:59.999) through thecompletion of $Y$?        answer is 16s (b) What is the turnaround time for Y?        answer is 10s (c) What is…
Assume a primitive time-sharing operating system is running on a computer with 50,000 32-bit words of main memory, with the resident monitor consuming 10,000 of that. When control is to be assigned to an interactive user, the user’s program and data were loaded into the remaining 40,000 words of main memory. A program is always loaded to start at the location of the 10,000th word; this simplified both the monitor and memory management. Assume that there are four interactive users with the following memory requirements, in words: Job1: 10,000, Job2: 30,000, Job3: 1000, Job4: 5,000 Draw the main memory state diagram considering the following: (a) The monitor loads Job1 and transfers control to it. (b) The monitor decides to load Job2 and transfer control to it. (c) Next, the monitor decides to load Job3 and transfer control to it. (d) Next, the monitor decides to load Job1 and transfer control to it. (e) Next, the monitor decides to load Job4 and transfer control…
