Please answer the following Operating Systems Quetion and its two parts: Part A: A distributed system using mailboxes has two IPC primitives, send and receive. The latter primitive specifies a process to receive from and blocks if no message from that process is available, even though messages may be waiting from other processes. There are no shared resources, but processes need to communicate frequently about other matters. Is deadlock possible? Discuss. Part B: One way to prevent deadlocks is to eliminate the hold-and-wait condition. In the textbook it was proposed that before asking for a new resource, a process must first release whatever resources it already holds (assuming that is possible). However, doing so introduces the danger that it may get the new resource but lose some of the existing ones to competing processes. Propose an improvement to this scheme. * Please answer both parts correctly, and I will provide a Thumbs Up. Thanks.

Someone once observed that "the difference between roles and groups is that a user can shift into and out of roles, whereas that user has a group identity (or identities) that are fixed throughout the session." Consider a system such as a System V-based UNIX system, in which a process can have exactly one group identity. To change groups, users must execute thenewgrpcommand. Do these groups differ from roles? Why or why not?
Why is it advantageous that, in a system with cooperative multithreading, two threads communicate with each other not directly, but via the event queue? What would be the disadvantage of direct communication
Implement a Socket based Remote C compiler. NEED THE PROGRAM IN JAVA. The JAVA program will take a C program (from a txt file) as input, send it to the server to compile & execute it, and return it to the client. In other words,The client will write or chose a C program which will be copied to the server, compiled and executed in the server machine and return the result back to the client.
