In concurrent programming, critical section is a piece of
code that accesses a shared resource(data structure or
device) that must not be concurrently accessed by more than
one thread of execution. A critical section will usually
terminate in fixed time, and a thread, task or process will
have to wait for a fixed time to enter it, which is called
as bounded waiting.

Explain the basic functions of process management.
Measurements of a certain system have shown that the
average process runs for a time T before blocking
on I/O. A process switch requires a time S, which is
effectively wasted (overhead). The CPU’s efficiency is
the fraction of its time its spends executing user
programs, i.e., executing user processes. For round robin
scheduling with quantum Q, give a formula for the CPU
efficiency for each of the following:
(a) Q = ∞
(b) Q > S + T
(c) S Explain about processor and the functions executed by them? What is mutual exclusion and multithreading in OS? List the sub-components of i/o manager in windows nt? Explain Round Robin.
