Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 6, Problem 2RQ
Explanation of Solution
Network topology:
- The shape or structure of a network is called as network topology that includes the planning of the communication links and hardware devices on the network.
- The signal types, transmission rates, distance between devices and physical interconnection may differ between networks, but they may all have the same topology.
Three network topology:
The three most common types of network topology are:
- Star topology
- Mesh topology
- Bus topology
Star topology:
- It contains single central hub, while all of computers or nodes are connected to central hub.
- Communicate with any computer but communication takes place only through common hub.
- Failure in one computer does not affect the performance of the network.
- Source can send the data to the destination directly to the central hub...

- (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).

But to roll and smoke a cigarette, the smoker needs three ingredients: tobacco, paper and matches. One of the smoker processes has paper, another has tobacco and the third has the matches. The agent has an infinite supply of all three materials. The agent places two of the ingredients on the table. The smoker who has the remaining ingredient then makes and smokes a cigarette, signaling the agent on completion. The agent then puts out another two of the three ingredients, and the cycle repeats. Given below is a solution to the Cigarette-Smokers Problem. Give initial conditions for the semaphores as well as plausible values for the variables i & j and r & s, such that the agent and smokers are synchronized. Write a couple of sentences on why these initial conditions are necessary and sufficient.
