Q1. Professor Mikka Singh of Harvard University has proposed a new atomic instruction named “Gurru”. The atomic instruction will work exactly like Semaphores except it will take 2 clock cycles to execute. He proposed that a on a multi-processor environment while the instruction Gurru will be executing on any one of the processor then all the other processors shall be halted. However, the Operating System Lab Engineers at Harvard are still confused about whether the newly proposed instruction will work or not. What are your thoughts?
