Chapter 10, Problem 11PS

Explain the syntax of C++'s Message Passing Formalism. When it comes to memory allocation, what is the difference between stack and heap?

What is meant by dynamically linked libraries?

Due to the benefits that circular arrays provide to queues, the issue arises as to whether or not a circularly linked list would reap the same benefits from the same considerations in C++ data structures. Where is the value in that?

Explain the implementation of a semaphore in ADA. How can a task in ADA wait for multiple entry point calls at the same time? How can a task in ADA check if there is a call for an entry point waiting?

Study the scenario and complete the question(s) that follow: The Fork/Join Framework is used for parallel programming in Java. The Fork/Join Framework when illustrated in form of a diagram resembles a fork, hence its name. A problem is divided into nonoverlapping subproblems, which can be solved independently in parallel. The solutions to all subproblems are then joined to obtain an overall solution for the problem. This is the parallel implementation of the divide-and-conquer approach. In JDK 7's Fork/Join Framework, a fork can be viewed as an independent task that runs on a thread. In this task, you are required to write a Java program in NetBeans that implements Parallel programming using the Fork/Join framework. Your program should initially generate 15 million random numbers. This should be read into an array of doubles. Then it should make use of a method that uses this array to calculate the sum of these doubles. Your program should make use of the subclasses in the Fork/Join…

How languages pass parameters varies greatly. ALGOL, Pascal, Ada, C, C++, Java, and C# pass arguments differently. Choose the language with the best parameter-passing technique. Explain why you choose your language's approach and why others' are inferior.

Come up with a software that makes an error in dynamic semantics (e.g., division by zero, access off the end of an array, dereference of a null pointer). What happens if you execute this application as an admin or regular user? Is there a way to direct the behavior of the compiler? Plan an experiment to determine the financial impact of doing runtime semantic checks. Develop a hypothesis. Try this experiment in as many languages and compilers as you can if you can.

When a parameter P is said to be global, what does this mean? A Pis a program that manages all others B. Pis used by all subprograms C P can be used by any subprogram within the program declaring P D Pis never modified when passed to a subprogram

Analyze and write a comparison of using C++ pointers and Java reference variables to refer to fixed heap-dynamic variables. Use safety and convenience as the primary considerations in the comparison.
