Failures_and_Recovery_2 LRVM   2. [2 points] (True/False with justification) During log truncation, the service continues execution making changes (if need be) to the log. 

Potpourri_4 PTS   4. [2 Points] (True/False with justification) PTS runtime system provides global clock synchronization to enable temporal correlation of timestamped items from different threads into different channels. 

Potpourri_6 QuickSilver   6. [2 points] The number of Transaction Managers (TMs) in Quicksilver (choose one of the following):  One per node in the distributed system  One per transaction tree created in the system  One per application running on Quicksilver  One for the entire distributed system 

Failures_and_Recovery_3c RioVista   The context for this question is the same as the previous question. 3. Consider RioVista, which implements LRVM semantics on top of Rio file cache.   (c) [2 points] Compare the log truncation code of RioVista to that of Satya’s LRVM.

Potpourri_8 QuickSilver   8. [2 points] (True/False with justification) Quicksilver provides a more complete recovery management compared to LRVM.
