Understanding Operating Systems: Concepts and Threads in Client-Server Systems

This lecture explores key concepts in operating systems, emphasizing client-server architectures and threads. Topics covered include the advantages and disadvantages of message passing versus shared memory, the role of interprocess communication, and an examination of blocking vs. non-blocking messages. Students will gain insights into multithreading, with a focus on how threads can operate independently and share the same memory space. The lecture also addresses important questions from previous sessions, enhancing comprehension of asynchronicity, socket communication, and the differences between child processes and threads.

  3. Questions from February 4th lecture • Which process is faster message passing or shared memory? • What are the advantages and disadvantages between message passing and shared memory? • More explanation on the Operating System Shell and C Shell. • What is the difference between child processes and threads? • More concepts on asynchronicity would help me better to analysis this topic. • How does interprocess communication come into play with the processes? • Are the fork and exec commands only in UNIX? Lecture 17

  4. Questions from February 6 lecture • More explanations of blocking and non-blocking messages. How does non-blocking increase optimization? • More explanations of Hourglass Architecture. • More on the idea of multiplexing and de-multiplexing. Does multiplexing and de-multiplexing compress data, or do something else? • Is peer-to-peer different that point-to-point communication? If so, what are advantages of each? • Are Sockets used in all network/internet communications or just some? • What are the benefits of using asynchronous communication instead of synchronous?And the opposite? Lecture 17

  5. Questions from February 8 lecture • Message buffering • Is IPV6 better than IPV4? If so, what makes it better? • What does the Data Link Layer consist of? • More example of how RPC’s differ from other procedure calls. • Are there any benefits to using encapsulation versus decapsulationmethods? Lecture 17

  6. Threads • Thread • the smallest sequence of programmed instructions that can be managed independently by an operating system scheduler • a light-weight process • multiple threads can share the same address space • On a single processor, multithreading generally occurs by time-division multiplexing, the processor switches between different threads. This context switching generally happens frequently enough that the user perceives the threads or tasks as running at the same time. • On a multiprocessor or a multi-core system the threads actually run at the same time, with each processor or core running a particular thread or task Lecture 17

  7. Single- and multi-threaded processes Lecture 17
