Please answer the following Operating Systems Quetion and its two parts: Part A: A distributed system using mailboxes has two IPC primitives, send and receive. The latter primitive specifies a process to receive from and blocks if no message from that process is available, even though messages may be waiting from other processes. There are no shared resources, but processes need to communicate frequently about other matters. Is deadlock possible? Discuss. Part B: One way to prevent deadlocks is to eliminate the hold-and-wait condition. In the textbook it was proposed that before asking for a new resource, a process must first release whatever resources it already holds (assuming that is possible). However, doing so introduces the danger that it may get the new resource but lose some of the existing ones to competing processes. Propose an improvement to this scheme. * Please answer both parts correctly, and I will provide a Thumbs Up. Thanks.

Someone once observed that "the difference between roles and groups is that a user can shift into and out of roles, whereas that user has a group identity (or identities) that are fixed throughout the session." Consider a system such as a System V-based UNIX system, in which a process can have exactly one group identity. To change groups, users must execute thenewgrpcommand. Do these groups differ from roles? Why or why not?
Why is it advantageous that, in a system with cooperative multithreading, two threads communicate with each other not directly, but via the event queue? What would be the disadvantage of direct communication
Lab Manual 223CCS-3 Advanced Object Oriented Programming Laboratory 11 Networking and threads Cont... Objective: Creation of a chat application using networking and threads. Activity Outcomes: This lab teaches you the following topics: Combining two concepts, Threads and Networking, in one java application Lab Activities: Based on the previous lab on networking, write a program corresponding to a chat application where a server and a client will communicate through a TCP connection. Note that in a chatting application, every side of the connection can send messages at any time and the other side will receive and display it. To do this, we need two thread classes, one for writing in the socket and the other for reading from it. These two threads will be executed together by both the client and the server. Thus, you have to develop the following classes: Two thread classes. The first one, called SenderThread, will be used to send messages to the other side through a socket infinitely…
1. Consider the track line in railways. If multiple trains trying to access the same line it should not allow because it will lead to collision. Now write a java program to schedule the track for the train. Create 3 threads objects for the class Train for 3 trains and schedule the Line by calling the getLine() (Synchronized method on the same Object but only one thread will be able to execute it at a time) in the Line class.
Solve the following problem in C programming language: Four threads will run in parallel. The threads have a shared variable x. The initial value of x is equal to 0. The critical section of Thread1 and Thread3 will increment the value of x by 1, while the critical section ofThread2 and Thread4 will decrement the value of x by 2. The program will return the final value of x which will be equal to 2.

DCE RPC added these features that ONC RPC (Sun RPC) does not have: a) The use of a stub compiler (RPC compiler) to generate stub functions. b) Support for at-most-once semantics. c) Ability for the client to ping the server to see if it's still working on the request. d) Support fragmentation and reassembly of messages to avoid the overhead of retransmitting large requests.
data comunication A program for communication between server and client will be developed. Multiclients (more than 1 client) can communicate with server simultaneously. While a client communication with the server, another clients should communicate with the server. The communication should be seen in consoles. TCP protocol will be used.. Thread functions should be used for the simultaneous communication
What describes how the principle of least privlege applies to the use of computers? A, It guarantees that no information inifially held in an object can be used outside its execution environment B, A process is allowed access only to the resources il needs to complete Its task and limit damage from a faulty process C, It is a process that can access an object in a domain only if that domain has a key that malches one of the locks of the object D It is the use of access controls to monitor and limit access to applications, programs, and websites during specific times of use.
Draw a resource allocation graph for the following processes and resources. There are four processes running (P1, P2, P3 and P4) and four resources each with single instance (R1, R2, R3 and R4). P1 is holding R4 and requesting R2. P2 is holding R3 and requesting R4. P3 is holding R2 and requesting R1. P4 is holing R1. Is it a deadlock situation?
a) Draw a well-labelled diagram to indicate the five states of a thread. In the drawing, indicate at least one method that can change the state of a previous state to the next state of the thread. b) Multithreading is one of the two ways that multitasking can be achieved. Using Java code snippets, describe two ways that a thread can be created. c) Describe the function that a Daemon thread in Java is assigned to, then using Java code snippet, create a thread using any of the two common ways and assign it to be a Daemon thread using the appropriate method.
