Technical Questions

In a multiprocessor system there exist several caches each may containing a copy of same variable A. Then a change in one cache should immediately be reflected in all other caches this process of maintaining the same value of a data in all the caches s called cache-coherency.

An interrupt that can be turned off by the programmer is known as Maskable interrupt.

In 8086 Carry flag, Parity flag, Ausiliary carry flag, Zero flag, Overflow flag, Trace flag, Interrupt flag, Direction flag, and Sing flag.

#define MAX 50

void mergeSort(int arr[],int low,int mid,int high);
void partition(int arr[],int low,int high);

int main(){
  
    int merge[MAX],i,n;

    printf("Enter the total number of elements: ");
    scanf("%d",&n);

    printf("After merge sorting elements are: ");
    for(i=0;i<n;i++){
         printf("%d ",merge[i]);
    }

   return 0;

void partition(int arr[],int low,int high){

    int mid;

    if(low<high){
         mid=(low+high)/2;
         partition(arr,low,mid);
         partition(arr,mid+1,high);

    }

void mergeSort(int arr[],int low,int mid,int high){

    int i,m,k,l,temp[MAX];

    l=low;
    i=low;
    m=mid+1;

    while((l<=mid)&&(m<=high)){

         if(arr[l]<=arr[m]){
             temp[i]=arr[l];
             l++;

Sample output:

Enter the total number of elements: 5
Enter the elements which to be sort: 2 5 0 9 1
After merge sorting elements are: 0 1 2 5 9

INPLEMENTATION:

For SUM, The two inputs A and B are given to XOR gate.

For Carry, The two inputs A and B are given to AND gate.

It does not have the features like

1. ability to support multiple processors


2. virtual storage


3. source level debugging

Glass Box (or white box) testing is the process of giving i/p to the system and checking how the system processes i/p to generate o/p

Black Box testing is the process of giving i/p to the system and checking if the system is giving correct o/p without bothering how the o/p is generated.

As we can see from the definitions, the role of black box testing is to ensure that the o/p generated is correct. And role of white box testing is to ensure that methods used to generate the o/p are correct.
