Explain why Windows and Linux implements multiple locking mechanisms. Describe the circumstances under which they use spinlocks,

mutex locks, semaphores, and condition variables. In each case, explain why the mechanism is needed.

Answer:

The description for the given question is described in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

Depending on the needs of the device programmers these OS have various locking frameworks. Spinlocks become beneficial for preemptive multitasking processes during which a thread will operate in such an active loop instead of risking a rest queue latency. Mutexes become beneficial to utility lockers.

  • Solaris 2 employs flexible mutexes, indicating something like this on preemptive multitasking computers, the mutex is introduced with either a spinning switch.
  • Semaphores and state variations are much more effective methods for consistency where a commodity needs to be managed for such a prolonged period of time because spinning is unstable over a prolonged time.

alexdok [17]

Answer is :

=D3+A3-B3

These Cell address contain following statement:

D3= Olivia saving account balance

A3= Olivia 3 month income

B3= Olivia 3 month expense

so, Expense are also deducted from income and income is added into saving balance.

In this situation we are use this formula:

=D3+A3-B3

A large department store has been attaching tags with barcodes to merchandise, and employees use barcode readers to scan merchan
77julia77 [94]

The department store should consider using RFIDs (Radio Frequency Identification) for tracking inventory. Unlike the wireless barcodes, RFID uses radio waves to communicate with readers. One very common advantage of an RFID is the scanning range. Wireless barcodes, for instance, requires the reader to be close to the barcode before it can see it to scan it. However, RFID systems can scan a tag as long as it is within range. This is important because it reduces wastage of time on labor-intensive processes and increases task speed, convenience, and project turnover.

Many passive RFIDs use tags that are powered by electromagnetic energy. Such energy does not consume power.

What are the arguments for writing efficient programs even though hardware is relatively inexpensive?
Ainat [17]

Answer: Even though the hardware is inexpensive the writing of program is not efficient through this method as proper development of program is necessary for the clear execution due to factors like:-

  • The facility of writing program even the cost of hardware is less but it is not a free facility.
  • It also has a slower processing for the execution of the program
  • The construction of the efficient program is necessary for the compilation and execution of it rather than poorly constructed program is worthless and inefficient in working.

d.11101111 11110111 11000111 00011101 class is D

Explanation:

8 a. 01111111 11110000 01100111 01111101

we have to convert this binary notation to dotted decimal notation.

01111111 = 0*2^7 + 1*2^6 + 1*2^5 + 1*2^4 + 1*2^3 + 1*2^2 + 1*2^1 + 1*2^0

           = 0 + 1*64 + 1*32 + 1*16 + 1*8 + 1*4 + 1*2 + 1

           = 64 + 32 + 16 + 8 + 4 + 2 + 1

           = 127

11110000 = 1*2^7 + 1*2^6 + 1*2^5 + 1*2^4 + 0*2^3 + 0*2^2 + 0*2^1 + 0*2^0

               = 1*128 + 1*64 + 1*32 + 16 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0

               = 128 + 64 + 32 + 16

               = 240

01100111 = 0*2^7 + 1*2^6 + 1*2^5 + 0*2^4 +0*2^3 + 1*2^2 + 1*2^1 + 1*2^0

               = 0 + 1*64 + 1*32 + 0 + 0 + 4 + 2 + 1

               = 64 + 32 + 4 + 2 + 1

               = 103

01111101   = 0*2^7 + 1*2^6 + 1*2^5+ 1*2^4 +1*2^3 +1*2^2 + 0*2^1 + 1*2^0

               = 0 + 1*64 + 1*32 + 1*16 + 1*8 + 1* 4 + 0 + 1

               = 64 + 32 + 16 + 8 + 4 + 1

               = 125

So the IP address from binary notation 01111111 11110000 01100111 01111101 to dotted decimal notation is : 127.240.103.125

b) 10101111 11000000 11111000 00011101

10101111 = 1*2^7 + 0*2^6 + 1*2^5 + 0*2^4 + 1*2^3 + 1*2^2 + 1*2^1 + 1*2^0

             = 175

11000000 = 1*2^7 + 1*2^6 + 0*2^5 + 0*2^4 + 0*2^3 + 0*2^2 + 0*2^1 + 0*2^0

                 = 192

11111000 = 1*2^7 + 1*2^6 + 1*2^5 + 1*2^4 +1*2^3 + 0*2^2 + 0*2^1 + 0*2^0

              = 248

00011101 = 0*2^7 + 0*2^6 + 0*2^5 + 1*2^4 +1*2^3 + 1*2^2 + 0*2^1 + 1*2^0

               = 29

So the IP address from binary notation 10101111 11000000 11111000 00011101  to dotted decimal notation is : 175.192.248.29

c) 11011111 10110000 00011111 01011101

11011111 = 1*2^7 + 1*2^6 + 0*2^5 + 1*2^4 +1*2^3 + 1*2^2 + 1*2^1 + 1*2^0

           = 223

10110000 =  1*2^7 + 0*2^6 + 1*2^5 + 1*2^4 +0*2^3 + 0*2^2 + 0*2^1 + 0*2^0

                = 176

00011111 = 0*2^7 + 0*2^6 + 0*2^5 + 1*2^4 +1*2^3 + 1*2^2 + 1*2^1 + 1*2^0

              = 31

01011101 = 0*2^7 + 1*2^6 + 0*2^5 + 1*2^4 +1*2^3 + 1*2^2 + 0*2^1 + 1*2^0

              = 93

So the IP address from binary notation 11011111 10110000 00011111 01011101 to dotted decimal notation is :223.176.31.93

d) 11101111 11110111 11000111 00011101

11101111 = 1*2^7 + 1*2^6 + 1*2^5 + 0*2^4 +1*2^3 + 1*2^2 + 1*2^1 + 1*2^0

            = 239

11110111 = 1*2^7 + 1*2^6 + 1*2^5 + 1*2^4 +0*2^3 + 1*2^2 + 1*2^1 + 1*2^0

           = 247

11000111 =  1*2^7 + 1*2^6 + 0*2^5 + 0*2^4 +0*2^3 + 1*2^2 + 1*2^1 + 1*2^0

              = 199

00011101 = 0*2^7 + 0*2^6 + 0*2^5 + 1*2^4 +1*2^3 + 1*2^2 + 0*2^1 + 1*2^0

               = 29

So the IP address from binary notation 11101111 11110111 11000111 00011101 to dotted decimal notation is : 239.247.199.29

9. In order to the find the class check the first byte of the IP address which is first 8 bits and check the corresponding class as follows:                

Class A is from 0 to 127

Class B is from 128 to 191

Class C is from 192 to 223

Class D is from 224 to 239

Class E is from 240 to 255

a. 208.34.54.12

If we see the first byte of the IP address which is 208, it belongs to class C as class C ranges from 192 to 223.

b. 238.34.2.1

If we see the first byte of the IP address which is 238, it belongs to class D as Class D ranges from 224 to 239.

c. 242.34.2.8

If we see the first byte of the IP address which is 242, it belongs to class E as Class E ranges from 240 to 255.

d. 129.14.6.8

If we see the first byte of the IP address which is 129, it belongs to class B as Class B ranges from 128 to 191.

10. In order to find the class of the IP addresses in easy way, start checking bit my bit from the left of the IP address and follow this pattern:

0 = Class A

1 - 0 = Class B

1 - 1 - 0 = Class C

1 - 1 - 1 - 0 = Class D

1 - 1 - 1 - 1 = Class E

a. 11110111 11110011 10000111 11011101

If we see the first four bits of the IP address they are 1111 which matches the pattern of class E given above. So this IP address belongs to class E.

b. 10101111 11000000 11110000 00011101

If we see the first bit is 1, the second bit is 0 which shows that this is class B address as 1 0 = Class B given above.

c. 11011111 10110000 00011111 01011101

The first bit is 1, second bit is 1 and third bit is 0 which shows this address belongs to class C as 110 = Class C given above.

d. 11101111 11110111 11000111 00011101

The first bit is 1, the second bit is also 1 and third bit is also 1 which shows that this address belongs to class D.
