Pregunta 104

deeming what services are available is accomplished in one of two general ways: - when a node joins a network, it registers its services with a centralized lookup service on the network, Any node desiring a specific service first contacts this centralized lookup service to determine which node provides the service. the remainder of the communication takes place between the client and the service provider - An alternative scheme uses no centralized lookup service. Instead, a peer acting as a client must discover what node provides a desired service by broadcasting a request for the service to all other nodes in the network. the node (or nodes) providing that service responds to the peer making the request. To support this approach, a discovery protocol must be provided that allows peers to discover services provided by other peers in the network

Pregunta 188

Pregunta
some systems such as time sharing systems may introduce [blank_start]medium[blank_end]-term schedulers.

Pregunta 195

Pregunta
When a process creates a new process. Which are possible for execution:
Respuesta
  • the parent continues to execute concurrently with the children
  • the parent waits until some or all of its children have terminated

Pregunta 196

Pregunta
with a new process what could happen with address space?
Respuesta
  • the children process is duplicate of the parent process (it has the same program and data as the parent)
  • the child process has a new program loaded into it

Pregunta 197

Pregunta
A parent may terminate the execution of one of its children for a variety of different reasons, such as:
Respuesta
  • The child has exceeded its usage of some of the resources that it has been allocated
  • The task assigned to the child is no longer required
  • The parent is existing, and the operating system does not allow a child to continue if its parent terminates

Respuesta
  • Cascading termination
  • Family termination
  • Mass termination

Pregunta 199

Pregunta
A process that is terminated, but whose parents do not call wait is called a [blank_start]zombie[blank_end] process. All processes transition to this state briefly but are often resolved once wait() is called by the parent
Respuesta
  • zombie

Pregunta 200

Pregunta
If a parent terminates before a child, it can not call wait(), so the child process becomes and [blank_start]orphan[blank_end]. Linux and Unix solve this problem by assigning [blank_start]init[blank_end] to be the new parent of a child process whose parent prematurely terminates.
Respuesta
  • orphan
  • init
