Global Memory Systems The context for this question is the same as the previous question. [5 points] Consider a 4 Node GMS system (A, B, C, D). Node A needs to evict pages P1 (age=15) and P2 (age=28). In the current epoch, the parameters are as follows: {“minAge”:25, “”:{“A”:0.2, ”B”:0.3, ”C”:0.1, ”D”:0.4}} c) [2 points] Mention any additional work that the node A may have to do when the pages are evicted.  What is the justification for any such additional work?

Potpourri The context for this question is the same as the previous question. [6 points]  Your team is experimenting with different RPC communication methods for designing a distributed system. Two design choices are being considered- Design A involves LRPC-style mechanism where the client and server communicate through shared memory in an SMP. Design B involves traditional RPC where the client and server communicate across the LAN as discussed in the Thekkath & Levy paper. c) [1 point] How can you reduce the number of context switches in Design A even further?

Spring OS [3 points] Your company has two teams developing Spring services that must interoperate. One team is implementing their service in C, while the other team is using C++. What artifacts must each team produce, so that these services, written in different languages, can communicate seamlessly within the Spring system? Briefly explain how these artifacts will be generated?

Global Memory Systems The context for this question is the same as the previous question. [5 points] Consider a GMS system with 10 Nodes ‘A’ to ‘J’. A process ‘x’ on Node ‘A’ intends to read-share a page that is  currently actively used only by a process ‘y’ on Node ‘B’.When Node A’s GMS mechanism initiates the access, indicate on which Node(s) each of the following data structures  are accessed.Assume no co-location constraints for any of the data structures b) [1 point] GCD

Distributed Shared Memory The context for this question is the same as the previous question. [8 points] In Treadmarks DSM system the following critical section is executed at a node N1: Lock(L1); // Assume X is the only page that been modified up to this point by prior acquirers of L1     Write to Page X;      // Assume that the page is not present at this node;      // Assume that there are three diff files for page X      // named Xd2, Xd3, and Xd4 in nodes N2, N3, and N4      // respectively.      // Assume the sync causality for the lock L1 is       // N3 -> N2 -> N1 (i.e, this is the order of lock     // acquisition).Unlock (L1); b) [2 points] What additional actions would be carried out by Treadmarks at Node 1 before the critical section  is executed by N1?
