Scheduling metrics helps in measuring any scheduling algorithm. The two most important scheduling metrics are: Turnaround Time and the Response Time Turnaround Time:The turnaround of a job is defined as the time at which the job completes minus the time… Read More ›
CPU scheduling is the process of selecting the next process to be allocated to the CPU whenever the CPU becomes idle because of execution of another process is on hold(waiting state) due to the unavailability of any resources like I/O…. Read More ›
The pthread_mutex_destroy() API is used to destroy the mutex object referenced by mutex. Prototype: The pthread_mutex_destroy() function shall destroy the mutex object referenced by mutex; the mutex object becomes, in effect, uninitialized. The mutex must not be used after it… Read More ›
The pthread_mutex_unlock() API is used to unblock the mutex reference by mutex. Prototype: The pthread_mutex_unlock() function releases the mutex object referenced by mutex. The manner in which a mutex is released is dependent upon the mutex type attribute. If there… Read More ›
The pthread_mutex_lock API is used to lock the mutex referenced by mutex. Prototype: This API is used to lock the mutex object referenced by mutex. If the mutex is already locked, the calling thread is blocked until the mutex becomes… Read More ›
The pthread_mutex API is used to initialize the mutex referenced by mutex with attributes specified by attr. Prototype: The first argument is the mutex that need to be initialized. The second argument is the attribute pointer which can be NULL… Read More ›
In a fast local area network (LAN) environment, Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Sockets and Named Pipes clients are comparable in terms of performance. For named pipes, network communications are typically more interactive. A peer does not send data until… Read More ›
SIGPIPE is the “broken pipe” signal that the kernel generates when a process writes to a pipe that has been closed by the reader, by default this causes the process terminates. This behavior is useful for typical cases of running… Read More ›
A named pipe is a special file which exist as a file in a file system. There are few key differences between a regular file and a named pipe. Named Pipes Regular Files A named pipe cannot be opened for… Read More ›
A few of the important differences between named pipes and un-named pipes are: Named Pipes Unnamed pipes Named pipes are given a name and exist as a file in a system, represented by an inode. mkfifo ( char *path, mode_t… Read More ›
