It seems questions are exam questions, so if you have the books required for the exam, then I'm pretty sure you will find the answers. (The answers provided by me isn't correct if other things are stated in those books, at least according to most university teachers)

Nope (And because they are asking question b)

Implement a scheduler with timeslicing and priority-adjustment.

Resource sharing
Resource allocation.

Any case where the child is not ready to be killed.

 

The questions r not exam questions... they r end of the chapter questions...
and what i'm wanting to know is more info on the questions that are asked... cause the book that we are reading doesnt give the best examples in the world and i was wanting to know if there was a better way of explaning out there so that i might understand it bettter for myself...
thanx though for the help...

 

Process scheduling is a somewhat large topic. It might be a better idea to for you to say what book you are using now, then you could get advice in what books/articles are good at explaining that topic.

I got some of my knowledge from:

Andrew Tanenbaum: Modern Operating Systems

Also since you are saying "we are reading" then you could take advantage of the others studying and ask them for their oppinion.

 

Thanx for the reply...here's the link to the book we are reading... http://www.deitel.com/books/os3e/ ... thanx for telling me about the book ... ill look in to it tomarrow after school... as of today there r a few of us who are getting together and are going to try to understand everything we are reading...its funny though how right when u start to understand thing in an OS then all of a sudden you find something else out that threws everything out of wack... never knew there were so many diff types of processes in an OS and how they work and effect things... and dealing with linux and win in how their processes work differently and the same... confusing as heck some times... then all of a sudden they threw in threads and fibers and how if this dies everything else dies... then how a fiber can do things with out the kernel knowing about it... and now im rambling on about OS... its fuuny though ...i dont see my OS as i once did...im starting to see things in it ..funny

 

All new topics generate some level of confusion until your brain have sorted things out for you.

Just read the Chapter 3 and it looks just as easy to understand as the book I mentioned.
I have noticed from time to time that Exercises following a chapter not always reflect the contents of the chapter. This can be caused by the question being very vague or the question is made to initiate a dicussion (no right or wrong).
