Program Plan Intro

Stack:

  • A stack denotes a data structure that retrieves data in reverse of order in which data is stored.
  • The top items present in the stack are to be removed first.
  • It is called as a last in first out data structure.
  • It could be used for keeping track of function calls in a program.
  • The insertion as well as removal of elements takes place at same end.
  • The upper part of stack where insertion and removal takes place is known as “top”.
  • The part opposite to “top” is termed as “base” of stack.
  • It provides an ordering based on length of time in collection.
  • The newer items will be near top whereas older items are near base.

What resources are used when a thread is created? How do these differ from those used when a process is created?
(c) Consider the following set of processes: Process ID Arrival Time Priority Burst Time A 2 3 100 B 6 C 10 1 (highest) 2 40 80 D 16 4 (lowest) 20
(3e) Test-and-Set. The Test-and-Set instruction is used in hardware to achieve synchronization. It can be defined in the following way: function Test-and-Set (var target: boolean): boolean; begin Test-and-Set:= target; target := true; end; Now show how the Test-and-Set instruction can be used to protect a critical region and hence achieve mutual exclusion (do not worry about satisfying the bounded waiting condition).
