Essays on Deadlock

Interprocess communication (IPC) is a group of programming interfaces which enable a software developer or programmer to coordinate different tasks and activities among different program operations which execute simultaneously in the operating system. IPC enables a program to handle many user requests at the same time. An user request results in execution of multiple processes in the operating system. The processes must communicate with one other to carry out their tasks. The interfaces of IPC aids in communication,data exchange among the different processes. There are advantages and disadvantages present in every method of IPC. A single program can ...

- In the perfect world, there is a symbiotic relationship between the policy maker and the agent of implementation. Describe that relationship at its best and at its worst.

At its best, the relationship between the policy maker and the agent of implementation enables collaboration between the two, which in turn ensures the effective and quick implementation of policies. Not only do these policies get enacted quickly, but the said implementation initiative also has more chances of succeeding as the agents of implementation will support the policy and ensure that all the resources necessary for a successful implementation are provided (“Creating Value through Collaboration”).

On the other hand, this relationship at its worst can lead to a lack of collaboration between the policy maker and the agent of implementation, ...

The European Union in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

- Introduction and Research Question For decades, the Israelis and the Palestinians had remained at odds with one another because of the decades-old conflict on mutual recognition, territorial boundaries, and national identities that still remains unresolved despite various negotiations held for the resolution of the conflict. According to Tessler (1994), the conflict can be traced since the 19th century when the Zionists and the Arabs first came into contact and argued as to their right of access and claim to the religious sites such as Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Canaan. However, the arguments escalated as the Arabs and Palestinians ...

The Question “what does it mean to be an American” is of current interest. In the article “Toward a Political Science of Citizenship” Macedoet all argue that political participation which is a key element of citizen engagement with the political process of a country is a “product of choice” (p. 19). The question “What does it mean to be an American” thus questions the future of American democracy in light of the challenges arising from citizens lack of participation. While Americans still remain as the shining example for the rest of the world measured in the context of the American democratic experiment, the ...

Windows interprocess communication

Interprocess communication is a set of mechanism used to exchange data among multiple threads in a single or more processes. IPC are categorized into four methods namely; message passing, synchronization, shared memory and remote procedure calls. The method of IPC used may change according to the bandwidth and latency of communication between threads and the type of data communicated. IPC is provided because of a host of reasons. Information sharing, computational speedup, modularity and convenience are some of the reasons. In memory-mapped IPC a file is mapped to RAM and can be altered by changing memory address directly without outputting to a stream. ...

OPERATING SYSTEM CONCEPTS

Dhotre, I. (2009). Operating Systems. Technical Publications. In his book title “Operating systems” Dhotre explains the designs and processes that determine the existence of deadlock. One of the solutions developed in this situation is to let the operator know of the existence of a deadlock and employ manual recovery methods. He continues to outline the automatic recovery methods. In general, the author has outlines two mechanisms for total recovery from deadlock. First, one or more processes are aborted to break the cycle of waiting. Secondly, the preemptive mechanism done on one or more of the deadlocked processes will release ...

Abstract

There has been the introduction of architectures that are mutlicore in nature and for that reason; there has been the emergence of applications which are multi-threaded which are commonly susceptible to bugs of synchronization like data races. The development and use of software that are able to detect data races are known to incur a lot of costs due to increase in overhead costs. The use of hardware for the detection of the data race is a solution that can be used and is better and cheaper than that of software use. All the hardware solutions that have been proposed for ...

The Eurozone crisis began as early as 2005. The problems were mostly related to internal economic problems mainly low productivity. The crisis took a plunge in 2008 as many financial institutions in the US—like Lehmann Brothers—collapsed. Many governments and banks lost their investments in these institutions. In turn, these governments and banks began to fail in paying for their own loans. Because they were unable to pay their debt, they could not find any source of funding so entire economies. The economic crisis was not solely the result purely of the collapse of financial institutions. Some economies— ...

Section 1 - "An Analysis of the Battle of Goose Green"

The history of past battles is often studied and analyzed for a variety of reasons. However, in most cases, it is failures rather than the successes that are being analyzed whenever military history is studied. Close affairs are quite common in a majority of battles; either side could have been victorious. In many of these battles, it is not the things done right by the winner that decide the final result, but the things done wrong by the ruler. The Battle of Goose Green between Great Britain and Argentina during the Falklands War was one such battle. Even though the Argentineans ...

The French constitution can be changed easily without sentimentality. What this means is that the French government does not consider the feelings of the people towards a particular issue when amending the constitution. The emotions that the people have about a certain law that is about to be considered is not taken into account when amending the French constitution. The results are that some people are usually left sad or unsatisfied when certain laws are amended. When the constitution is amended without sentimentality, the general public feel left out in the process of making such a law. It may appear as ...

There are quite a number of factors that have been identified as the root cause of the many problems that continue to face the two countries. The problems witnessed in the two countries are way beyond the character of the modern world, and the assertion developed in this essay ...
