Which of the following process state transitions is/are NOT possible?
Which one or more of the following need to be saved on a context switch from one thread (T1) of a process to another thread (T2) of the same process?
Which one or more of the following CPU scheduling algorithms can potentially cause starvation?
Consider four processes P, Q, R and S scheduled on a CPU as per round robin algorithm with a time quantum of 4 units. The processes arrive in the order P, Q, R, S, all at time t = 0. There is exactly one context switch from S to Q, exactly one context switch from R to Q, and exactly two context switches from Q to R. There is no context switch from S to P. Switching to a ready process after the termination of another process is also considered a context switch. Which one of the following is NOT possible as CPU burst time (in time units) of these processes?
