Chapter 3, Problem 27CRP
Program Plan Intro
Dispatcher of
Dispatcher assigns a time slice to a process and it is the component of a kernel which is the internal part of an operating system.
- Multiprogramming is the system in which time is divided into intervals called as time slice and CPU switches between the processes in which the execution of each process is restricted to only one time slice.
- When one time slice executes the process, it is saved by dispatcher and then dispatcher loads the process state of a new process of new time slice.

- Is it a reasonable for a process under OS control to be repeatedly in: “running” <-> “wait” states? Explain why or why not.arrow_forwardWhat is the benefit of assigning process execution to the I/O queue first and then pushing it to the CPU when it's ready? What do you think will happen if the I/O is interrupted? Will the CPU burst be affected? How so?arrow_forwardWhen a process is suspended, it is withdrawn from contention for an indeterminate period of time on a processor and eventually destroyed. Choose one: Is it true or false?

- When this option is available, the I/O queue should be prioritised above the process execution queue. In what ways may this be beneficial? Who knows what will take place if there is a disruption in the I/O. It is unclear at this time if this will have an effect on the maximum burst rate of the CPU.

- To what extent may an operating system's lack of a mechanism for synchronising processes cause issues? Give a concrete example to back up your point. -arrow_forwardA process running in kernel mode cannot be preempted under UNIX, which makes it unsuitable for real-time applications.
