3. Give a yes/no answer, along with an explanation, to the following questions: (a) In a multi-core system, there can only be one process running for a given executable. (b) Two processes generally access the same address space. (c) Two processes having shared access to part of a computer's memory see that shared part of the memory at the same address. (d) Two threads can communicate through memory they share. (e) An executable, run two times consecutively, will result in two processes that see the exactly the same address space each time, with pointers having the same numerical value for each run.
