Consider the following multi-threaded code segment (in a mix of C and pseudocode), invoked by two processes P1 and P2, and each of the processes spawns two threads T1 and T2:
int x = 0; // global
Lock L1; // global
main() {
create a thread to execute foo(); // Thread T1
create a thread to execute foo(); // Thread T2
wait for the two threads to finish execution;
print (x);}
foo() {
int y = 0;
Acquire L1;
x = x + 1;
y = y + 1;
Release L1;
print (y); }
Which of the following statement(s) is/are correct ?

A certain computation generates two arrays a and b such that a[i]=f(i)for 0 ≤ i < n and b[i] = g (a[i] )for 0 ≤ i < n. Suppose this computation is decomposed into two concurrent processes X and Y such that X computes the array a and Y computes the array b. The processes employ two binary semaphores R and S, both initialized to zero. The array a is shared by the two processes. The structures of the processes are shown below.
Process X:
private i;
for(i = 0; i < n; i++){
a [i] = f (i);
Exit X (R, S);
}
Process Y:
private i;
for(i = 0; i < n; i++){
Entry Y (R, S);
b [i] = g (a [i] );
}
Which of the following represents the correct implementations of Exit X and Entry Y?4

A shared variable x, initialized to zero, is operated on by four concurrent processes W, X, Y, Z as follows. Each of the processes W and X reads x from memory, increments by one, stores it to memory, and then terminates. Each of the processes Y and Z reads x from memory, decrements by two, stores it to memory, and then terminates. Each process before reading x invokes the P operation (i.e., wait) on a counting semaphore S and invokes the V operation (i.e., signal) on the semaphore S after storing x to memory. Semaphore S is initialized to two. What is the maximum possible value of x after all processes complete execution?
