Questions

Assume yоu аre designing а prоgrаm fоr a system with thousands of processors. Your program will use only a single mutual exclusion lock. Space overhead is a primary design concern. You decide to use the linked-list-based lock proposed in the MCS paper.  Your classmate argues that the Anderson array-based lock would work equally well for your use case, since your program only ever needs a single lock. Assume you are considering only asymptotic space cost. Is your classmate correct? Explain why or why not.
