Technical Questions

Two main measures for the efficiency of an algorithm are Time and Space.

1. Load Sharing: Processes are not assigned to a particular processor. A global queue of threads is maintained. Each processor, when idle, selects a thread from this queue. Note that load balancing refers to a scheme where work is allocated to processors on a more permanent basis.


2. Gang Scheduling: A set of related threads is scheduled to run on a set of processors at the same time, on a 1-to-1 basis. Closely related threads / processes may be scheduled this way to reduce synchronization blocking, and minimize process switching. Group scheduling predated this strategy.


3. Dedicated processor assignment: Provides implicit scheduling defined by assignment of threads to processors. For the duration of program execution, each program is allocated a set of processors equal in number to the number of threads in the program. Processors are chosen from the available pool.


4. Dynamic scheduling: The number of thread in a program can be altered during the course of execution.

SNOBOL is a high-level computer programming language used especially in manipulating textual data. It is mainly used for string operations and was developed between 1962 and 1967.

Error occurs because we have mixed the ANSI prototype with K & R style of function definition.

When we use ANSI prototype for a function and pass a float to the function it is promoted to a double. When the function accepts this double into a float a type mismatch occurs hence the error.

The remedy for this error could be to define the function as :

int fun (float aa)

{

  ....

}

C2 level security provides for:

1.Discretionary Access Control

2.Identification and Authentication

3.Auditing

4.Resource reuse

This is a common error while compiling C program in Linux. This error occurs when you are using pthread_create function to create threads in your programs.

To fix this problem ensure following points:
Include header file pthread.h in your program.
Add –lpthread linker flag with compilation command.
1- Include Header file
#include <stdio.h>
#include <pthread.h>
...
...
2- Compile command
gcc main.c -o main -lpthread
