Explanation of Solution

Concurrency control:

The purpose of concurrency control is to ensure the serializability of transaction in a multiuser database environment and it is the process of coordinating the simultaneous execution.

Common problems with concurrent transaction execution:

Concurrency transaction is one or more transactions are processed on same time. During the concurrency transaction execution the following problems can occur in the transaction. They are:

  • Lost updates
  • Uncommitted data
  • Inconsistent retrievals

Lost updates:

A data can be lost when the two different transactions want to update same field or row within the database at the same time.

  • For example: if the transactions “T1” and “T2” want to update the same element and one of the updates is lost or overwritten by other transactions.

Uncommitted data:

The data of the transactions are not committed when the transactions are executed concurrently...

Question D.4: FIFO Page Replacement Consider the following page reference string: e, c, b, e, a, g, d, c, e, g, d, a Considering 4 frames, fill in the following table and then answer how many page faults would occur with the FIFO page replacement algorithm. RS: reference string; FO: frame 0, F1: frame 1, etc. Hint: all frames are initially empty, so your first unique pages will all cost one fault each. Time 1234567891011 12 RS e cb e agd ce g d a FO F1 F2 F3 Page fault? b) Total # page faults: c) Briefly (1-2 sentences) explain Belady's Anomaly that can occur in FIFO Page Replacement.
Consider a system that uses a fixed-partition scheme, with equal partitions of size 2" bytes, and the main memory has 2¹8 bytes. A process table is maintained with a pointer to the resident partition for each resident process. How many bits are required for the pointer in the process table? Show all your steps.
