    Subject Name: Advanced Operating System Subject Code: CE402 Semester : VIIth Academic year: June-Dec 2012

    Assignment

    1. How a kernel interface and a user-level thread package that together combine the functionality of kernel threads with the performance and flexibility of user-level threads. 2. Describe the differences between symmetric and asymmetric multiprocessing.

    3. What are the contents stored in process image? 4. Explain u-are and proc data structure. 5. What are the security levels available in UNIX? 6. Explain following terms: (1) clock drift (2) clock skew (3) UTC 7. Differentiate internal centralized and distributed clock synchronization. 8. Differentiate distributed file system and single processor file system. 9. Explain various file service models with their pros and cons. 10. The pid argument of ptrace must specify the process ID of a child of the caller. What are the implications of relaxing this requirement? Why should processes not be able to use ptrace to interact with arbitrary processes?
