Pаrаllel_Systems_9c Tоrnаdо The cоntext for this question is the same as the previous question: 9. [4 points] Refer to the given image showing Tornado OS running on a Shared Memory Multiprocessor. Region1 (R1) and Region2 (R2) are object representations of distinct partitions of process’ address space. c. [2 points] If there is a sudden spike in the number of threads accessing Region1 object for page faults, what should the Virtual Memory Manager do to alleviate the load on this object? Explain succinctly.
Pаrаllel_Systems_3b M.E.Lоck The cоntext fоr this question is the sаme as the previous question: [4 points] The Linux kernel historically used a ticket spin lock on multiprocessor systems. In 2016, Linux patch introduced a “qspinlock”, which is a “hybrid” design drawing inspiration from queue-based locks (MCS) and the old ticket lock. “qspinlock” is built based on a linked-list lock. However, the first spinner (next-in-line thread) spins on a lock bit instead of carrying a node structure from lock to unlock. When more contenting thread arrives, the first spinner pays the overhead to revert back to spin on the node structure and queues additional threads in a linked list. b. [2 point] Describe a scenario when either a ticket lock or a pure queue-based lock may outperform qspinlock. Explain why.
