I, II and III only

II and III only

I, II and IV only

I, II, III and IV

The following C program is executed on a Unix/Linux system: #include<< unistd.h > int main () { int I ; for (i=0; i<10; i++) if (i%2 == 0) fork ( ) ; return 0 ; } The total number of child processes created is ____

The following two functions P1 and P2 that share a variable B with an initial value of 2 execute concurrently. P1() { C=B-1; B=2*C; } P2(){ D=2*B; B= D-1; } The number of distinct values that B can possibly take after the execution is -------

A process having multiple threads of control implies

Only one task at a time, but much faster

More than one task at a time

Only one thread per process to use

All of the above

A thread is usually defined as a ''light weight process'' because an operating system (OS) maintains smaller data structures for a thread than for a process. In relation to this, which of the following is TRUE?

On per-thread basis, the OS maintains only CPU register state.

The OS does not maintain a separate stack for each thread.

On per-thread basis, the OS does not maintain virtual memory state.

On per-thread basis, the OS only maintains scheduling and accounting

Consider the following code fragment: if (fork() == 0) { a = a + 5; printf("%d, %d \n", a, &a); } else { a = a - 5; printf ("%d, %d \n", a, &a); } Let u,v be the values printed by the parent process, and x,y be the values printed by the child process. Which one of the following is TRUE?

U = x+10 , v = y

U = x=10, v != y

U+10 = x, v = y

U+10 = x, v !=y

Which one of the following is FALSE? a. User level threads are not scheduled by the kernel. b. When a user level thread is blocked, all other threads of its process are blocked. c. Context switching between user level threads is faster than context switching between kernel level threads. d. Kernel level threads cannot share the code segment.
