Aparticular multiprocessor operating system uses a separate ready list for each processor to avoid to have to solve the problem of sharing the ready list between multiple processors. of course one problem with this solution is that it might happen that one ready list is empty while there are still threads in other ready lists. thus one processor will be idle where there is work to do. suppose we try to solve this problem by moving threads from a non-empty ready list to the empty ready list. why is this not a real solution to the problem?

What tool can discover and report computer errors and conflicts that occur when you first turn on a computer and before the operating system?

Jane’s team is using the v-shaped model for their project. during the high-level design phase of the project, testers perform integration testing. what is the purpose of an integration test plan in the v-model of development? a. checks if the team has gathered all the requirements b. checks how the product interacts with external systems c. checks the flow of data in internal modules d. checks how the product works from the client side

Write a program that begins by reading in a series of positive integers on a single line of input and then computes and prints the product of those integers. integers are accepted and multiplied until the user enters an integer less than 1. this final number is not part of the product. then, the program prints the product. if the first entered number is negative or 0, the program must print “bad input.” and terminate immediately. next, the program determines and prints the prime factorization of the product, listing the factors in increasing order. if a prime number is not a factor of the product, then it
