Question

How many processes can be executed by CPU at one point in time?*1 point4213

Solution

At any given point in time, a CPU can execute only one process. This is because a CPU core can only handle one task at a time. However, it may seem like a CPU is executing multiple processes at once due to a concept known as multitasking. In multitasking, the CPU switches between tasks so quickly that it gives the illusion of simultaneous execution. But in reality, it's still one task at a time. So, the answer is 1.

You have n processors each having 4 cores and n * 4 tasks that need to be executed such that each core should perform only one task.Given a 0-indexed integer array processorTime representing the time at which each processor becomes available for the first time and a 0-indexed integer array tasks representing the time it takes to execute each task, return the minimum time when all of the tasks have been executed by the processors.Note: Each core executes the task independently of the others. Example 1:Input: processorTime = [8,10], tasks = [2,2,3,1,8,7,4,5]Output: 16Explanation: It's optimal to assign the tasks at indexes 4, 5, 6, 7 to the first processor which becomes available at time = 8, and the tasks at indexes 0, 1, 2, 3 to the second processor which becomes available at time = 10. Time taken by the first processor to finish execution of all tasks = max(8 + 8, 8 + 7, 8 + 4, 8 + 5) = 16.Time taken by the second processor to finish execution of all tasks = max(10 + 2, 10 + 2, 10 + 3, 10 + 1) = 13.Hence, it can be shown that the minimum time taken to execute all the tasks is 16.Example 2:Input: processorTime = [10,20], tasks = [2,3,1,2,5,8,4,3]Output: 23Explanation: It's optimal to assign the tasks at indexes 1, 4, 5, 6 to the first processor which becomes available at time = 10, and the tasks at indexes 0, 2, 3, 7 to the second processor which becomes available at time = 20.Time taken by the first processor to finish execution of all tasks = max(10 + 3, 10 + 5, 10 + 8, 10 + 4) = 18.Time taken by the second processor to finish execution of all tasks = max(20 + 2, 20 + 1, 20 + 2, 20 + 3) = 23.Hence, it can be shown that the minimum time taken to execute all the tasks is 23. Constraints:1 <= n == processorTime.length <= 250001 <= tasks.length <= 1050 <= processorTime[i] <= 1091 <= tasks[i] <= 109tasks.length == 4 * n

Consider three processes P1, P2, and P3 with the following CPU burst times: Burst times for P1: 14, 12, 17, Burst times for P2: 2, 2, 2, 3, 2, 2, 2, 3, Burst times for P3: 6, 3, 8, 2, 1, 3, 4, 1, 9, 7. All three arrive at time 0, in order P1, P2, P3. Each CPU burst is followed by an I/O operation taking 6 time units, except for the last burst after which the process terminates. Assume that overhead time for process switching and scheduling functions are negligible (assumed to be 0). Multi-level feedback queuing using three queues with the following parameters: Queue 0 quantum of 2 time units (after which process is moved to Queue 1). Queue 1 quantum of 4 time units (after which process is moved to Queue 2). Queue 2 FCFS. All process that becomes ready is added to Queue 0. A process that arrives in Queue 0 preempts any executing process that belongs to either Queue 1 or Queue 2. Processes in Queue 1 are allocated to the CPU only when Queue 0 is empty. Processes in Queue 2 are allocated to the CPU only with both Queue 0 and Queue 1 are empty. What is the average turnaround time. Write the answer in up to integer; round off and don t write any additional character. Examples of incorrect answers are 3.2, 3 ms, 12 sec, etc."10:17 a.m.
