GATE CSE 2014 Set 1

MCQ (Single Correct Answer)

-0.3

Which one of the following is FALSE?

User level threads are not scheduled by the kernel.

When a user level thread is blocked, all other threads of its process are blocked.

Context switching between user level threads is faster than context switching between kernel level threads.

Kernel level threads cannot share the code segment.

MCQ (Single Correct Answer)

-0.3

A scheduling algorithm assigns priority proportional to the waiting time of a process. Every process starts with priority zero (the lowest priority). The scheduler re-evaluates the process priorities every $$T$$ time units and decides the next process to schedule. Which one of the following is TRUE if the processes have no $${\rm I}/O$$ operations and all arrive at time zero?

This algorithm is equivalent to the first-come-first-serve algorithm.

This algorithm is equivalent to the round-robin algorithm.

This algorithm is equivalent to the shortest-job-first algorithm.

This algorithm is equivalent to the shortest-remaining-time-first algorithm.
