Exam 6: Concurrent Processes

In a symmetric configuration, processor scheduling is centralized.

With its sophisticated synchronization capabilities, Java supports multithreading at the ____ level.

The ____ configuration features several complete computer systems, each with its own memory, I/O devices, CPU, and operating system.

In multiprocessing systems, the Processor Manager has to coordinate the activity of each processor, as well as synchronize cooperative interaction among the CPUs.

In a master/slave system, the master processor is responsible for managing the entire system-all files, devices, memory, and processors.

Multiprocessors were developed for high-end models of midrange and mainframe computers, where the operating system treated each additional CPU as an additional resource, so that each could be scheduled for work.

The need for algorithms to resolve conflicts between processors is called process ____.

Threads share the same resources as the process that created them.

The ____ configuration is the most difficult to implement.

A ____ of processing must be handled as a unit.
