Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Determine whether the pair of processes run concurrently or not:
Diagram for processes AB:
Explanation:
- In the above timing diagram, process “A” starts with “5” and end with “7”.
- Process “B” starts with “2” and end with “4”.
- Process “A” and “B” are not concurrent with respect to each other because their corresponding executions do not overlap, that is, process “A” completes before process “B” starts.
Therefore, the processes “AB” are do not run concurrently.
Diagram for processes AC:
Explanation:
- In the above timing diagram, process “A” starts with “5” and end with “7”.
- Process “C” starts with “3” and end with “6”.
- Process “A” and “C” are concurrent with respect to each other because their corresponding executions overlap, that is, process “C” starts before the process “A” completes.
Therefore, the processes “AC” are run concurrently.
Diagram for processes AD:
Explanation:
- In the above timing diagram, process “A” starts with “5” and end with “7”.
- Process “D” starts with “1” and end with “8”.
- Process “A” and “D” are concurrent with respect to each other because their corresponding executions overlap, that is, process “D” starts before the process “A” completes.
Therefore, the processes “AD” are run concurrently.
Diagram for processes BC:
Explanation:
- In the above timing diagram, process “B” starts with “2” and end with “4”.
- Process “C” starts with “3” and end with “6”.
- Process “B” and “C” are concurrent with respect to each other because their corresponding executions overlap, that is, process “C” starts before the process “B” completes.
Therefore, the processes “BC” are run concurrently.
Diagram for processes BD:
Explanation:
- In the above timing diagram, process “B” starts with “2” and end with “4”.
- Process “D” starts with “1” and end with “8”.
- Process “B” and “D” are concurrent with respect to each other because their corresponding executions overlap, that is, process “D” starts before the process “B” completes.
Therefore, the processes “BD” are run concurrently.
Diagram for processes CD:
Explanation:
- In the above timing diagram, process “C” starts with “3” and end with “6”.
- Process “D” starts with “1” and end with “8”.
- Process “C” and “D” are concurrent with respect to each other because their corresponding executions overlap, that is, process “D” starts before the process “C” completes.
Therefore, the processes “CD” are run concurrently.

Read each description of each Process Scheduler on the left and match it with the appropriate
name on the right.
This scheduler decides which processes in
memory get time on the CPU. It is executed
very frequently.
This scheduler handles "swapping" of
processes from main memory to mass
storage. For example, it may swap-out
processes that are waiting for I/O to
complete.
This scheduler selects spooled processes to
load from the mass storage device into mai
memory. It attempts to find a good mix of
"I/O bound" and "CPU Bound" processes to
maximize resource utilization.

Compute and print the completion Time(CT), Turnaround Time(TAT), and Waiting Time(WT) for each process using C Programming.

(The amount of CPU time needed by each process is written in brackets.) • Class 1: II₁ (13 ms), II3 (8 ms), II6 (6 ms) • Class 2: II₂ (10 ms), II5 (4 ms) Class 3: II4 (12 ms) The system is using the following algorithm: The scheduler picks a process from the highest (non-empty) class. To schedule processes within the same class, the Round-Robin algorithm is used with quantum 5 ms. Process switch takes 1 ms. (a) Draw the schedule for the above processes on a timeline. (b) Mirko decided to modify the above algorithm: After each burst (i.e. when the quantum experies) the process is degraded by one class (unless it is already in Class 3). Draw the schedule for Mirko's modified algorithm.arrow_forward
- Write a c program called file1.c Program file1.c uses these: (a) fork() to launch another process. (b) exec() to replace the program driving this process, while supplying arguments to file2.c to complete its execution. (c) wait() to complete the execution of the child process. (d) file1.c takes two arguments x( a number less than 1) and n (number of terms to be added, 1 or more).
