Suppose that you are an operating system designer and have been approached by the system administrator to help solve a problem. After investigation, you realise that nonsharable files are allocated to jobs that eventually require other nonsharable and nonpreemptive resources and this is creating a recurring deadlock problem in your installation’s spooling system.Question 4Why is the deadlock issue considered a big issue in a computer system? Can you explain to your system administrator why this recurring deadlock cannot be solved by the system itself when it happens? What features might you incorporate into the operating system so that deadlocks in the spooling system can be resolved without losing the work (the system processing) that was underway or already performed by the deadlocked processes?What measures can you take to prevent deadlock in the future?

The term "prevent deadlock" refers to the act of avoiding a situation in which two or more processes are unable to proceed because each is waiting for one of the others to do something. What is the methodology for accomplishing this task within the given operating system?
What is a deadlock in the context of operating systems? Describe the conditions that must be met for a deadlock to occur.
A certain high-performance computing system uses the windows size ofΔfor its working set model. The administrator is contemplating two options for upgrading the system: A. buy a faster CPU B. buy a faster paging device (disk) What is going to happen toΔafter the upgrades? a. neither upgrade is going to affectΔb.Δis going to increase afterAand decrease afterBc.Δis going to decrease afterAand increase afterBd.Δis going to decrease after either upgrade e.Δis going to increase after either upgrade
Protection is critical in the smooth operation of Operating System. However, to allow flexibility, we need to place minimal constraints upon user. Follows a list of operations which are usually protected. Select the minimal set of instructions which must be protected? Give reason. Change to user mode. Change to kernel mode. Read from kernel memory. Write into kernel memory. Instruction fetch from kernel memory. Turn on timer interrupt. Turn off timer interrupt.
Would you agree that deadlock is relative to the number of processes and available resources in an operating system? Why or why not?
Talk about one of the issues that might crop up in an operating system when several processes are all trying to execute at the same time.
Please help 1. Explain how Interrupt increases processor efficiency, whereastoday's computer already has a high clock speed and large memory? 2. Some examples of LINUX Operating Systems, no driver hardware is required. Please explain, what happens if the kernel does not recognize a piece of hardware installed? 3. In the service provided by the Operating System, explain what is meant by the statement “controlled access to files” and give an example. 4. A process execution can be interrupted by "Interrupt" or "Traps".Explain the difference between Interrupt and Trap and give examples for Interrupt and Trap. 5. Please explain how the fork() system call can create new processeswhich can run in parallel. Give an example of a program using systemcall fork() where the parent process creates a new process and creates a hierarchy as illustrated with the image below: ( Each process will display its respective process ID, use the pid() system call)
Operating system resource hoarding is caused by what? Why don't people just fix the problems? Give an example of a virtual memory manager that may be used to keep track of processes and how it does so.
When a process fails, the majority of operating systems report the error to a) a new file, b) another ongoing process, c) a log file, or d) none of the above.
5. A state is safe if the system can allocate resources to each process (up to its maximum) in some order and still avoid deadlock. Then a. deadlocked state is unsafe b. unsafe state may lead to a deadlock situation c. deadlocked state is a subset of unsafe state d. all of these
