Some attributes of every process are maintained by the kernel in memory in a separate structure called the ______ Correct Answer process table

As every process has some attributes. Some of these attributes are maintained by the kernel in memory in a separate structure called the process table. A process table is simply an array of many pcb’s. Process table contains two major attributes of a process i.e. processed and parent process ID.

Consider a process executing on an operating system that uses demand paging. The average time for a memory access in the system is M units if the corresponding memory page is available in memory, and D units if the memory access causes a page fault. It has been experimental measured that the average time taken for a memory access in the process is X units. Which one of the following is the correct expression for the page fault rate experienced by the process?

These four parts are not given in the proper order. Read the sentence/passage and find out which of the four combinations is correct. S1. The Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA) expects to begin the process for separating NPS Trust from itself in the next financial year as roping in a consultant for the process takes time. P. The Trust was established by the PFRDA for taking care of the assets and funds under the NPS.  Q. Steps will be taken to separate it from the authority with appropriate organisational structure to maintain an arm’s length relationship of the Trust with the PFRDA. R.The proposal to separate the two job roles has been under consideration for the last few years.  S. In the Union Budget for 2019-20, the government had proposed to separate the Trust from the pension regulator in order to address issues of conflict of interest. S6. So far, it is being taken as an extended arm of the PFRDA but in effect, it is one of the intermediaries.
A shared variable x, initialized to zero, is operated on by four concurrent processes W, X, Y, Z as follows. Each of the processes W and X reads x from memory, increments by one, stores it to memory, and then terminates. Each of the processes Y and Z reads x from memory, decrements by two, stores it to memory, and then terminates. Each process before reading x invokes the P operation (i.e., wait) on a counting semaphore S and invokes the V operation (i.e., signal) on the semaphore S after storing x to memory. Semaphore S is initialized to two. What is the maximum possible value of x after all processes complete execution?
