Textbook Question

Chapter 3, Problem 26CRP

Would greater throughput be achieved by a system running two processes in a multiprogramming environment if both processes were I/O-bound (refer to Problem 25) or if one were I/O-bound and the other were compute bound? Why?

Students have asked these similar questions

It is possible to build a system in which shared structures are stored in the local memory of each process and accessible through interprocess communication. What are some of the shortcomings in the design?

Rather of keeping shared structures in shared memory, an alternate design would be to store them in the local memory of a particular process and access them via interprocess communication. What are the disadvantages of such an architecture?

If a process in a multiprogramming system could access memory cells outside its allotted area, how could it gain control of the machine?
