Assume that an SMP (Symmetric multiprocessing) system has private, per-processor run queues. When a new process is created, it can be placed in either the same queue as the parent process or in a different queue with another processor. a. What are the benefits of placing the new process in the same queue as its parent? b. What are the benefits of placing the new process in a different queue?

Consider the following processes and their associated threads running on a multiprocessor system: Process Thread Arrival Time CPU Burst I/O Burst Total CPU Time X X1 0 4 2 11 X2 3 2 4 5 X3 3 2 4 5 Y Y1 5 6 2 14 Y2 5 3 5 7 Z Z1 7 1 1 6 Z2 7 3 2 10 Create a scheduling simulation for these threads on a system with two (2) processors using the First Come First Served (FCFS) algorithm. A thread may migrate from one processor to another if it returns from blocked waiting time and 1) the processor it was running on previously is occupied with other work; and 2) and the other processor is available to execute the thread. If both processors are available when a thread becomes unblocked, it will remain on the processor it was most recently running on. In this simulation, you will be managing a single ready queue that schedules all processes. When two processes arrive in the ready queue at…
Multithreading is more common than a scattering of unrelated processes running in the background. Explain.
When feasible, what are the upsides of prioritizing the I/O queue as the place where processes would be executed? If the I/O connection suddenly goes down, what do you expect to happen? How would this affect the fastest possible CPU burst rate? I'm not quite sure I get what you're getting at here.
What does cooperative multithreading involve in a system with many threads?What are the benefits and drawbacks of "one for one" cooperation?
In a single processor, threads run one at a time in such a way as to provide an illusion of concurrency. Execution of these multiple threads on a single CPU in some order is called scheduling. Explain the scheduling process on a single processor.
Please explain in detail
Consider an operating system that uses 48-bit virtual addresses and 16KB pages. The system uses a hierarchical page table design to store all the page table entries of a process, and each page table entry is 4 bytes in size. What is the total number of pages that are required to store the page table entries of a process, across all levels of the hierarchical page table?
As a simple model of a bus-based multiprocessor system without caching, suppose that one instruction in every four references memory, and that a memory reference occupies the bus for an entire instruction time. If the bus is busy, the requesting CPU is put into a FIFO queue. How much faster will a 64-CPU system run than a 1-CPU system?
Can the time it takes for distributed computing to switch between processes and threads be quantified?
