Consider a 3-stage pipelined processor having a delay of 10 ns (nanoseconds), 20 ns, and 14 ns, for the first, second, and the third stages, respectively. Assume that there is no other delay and the processor does not suffer from any pipeline hazards. Also assume that one instruction is fetched every cycle.
The total execution time for executing 100 instructions on this processor is _____ ns.

A keyboard connected to a computer is used at a rate of 1 keystroke per second. The computer system polls the keyboard every 10 ms (milli seconds) to check for a keystroke and consumes 100
s (micro seconds) for each poll. If it is determined after polling that a key has been pressed, the system consumes an additional 200
s to process the keystroke. Let
denote the fraction of a second spent in polling and processing a keystroke.In an alternative implementation, the system uses interrupts instead of polling. An interrupt is raised for every keystroke. It takes a total of 1 ms for serving an interrupt and processing a keystroke. Let
denote the fraction of a second spent in serving the interrupt and processing a keystroke.The ratio
is ______. (Rounded off to one decimal place)Log in to check the answer

Consider the two functions inc and dec shown below.
inc(){ dec(){
wait(s); wait(s);
X = X+1; X = X-1;
signal(s); signal(s);
} }
There are 5 threads each invoking inc once, and 3 threads each invoking dec once, on the same shared variable X. The initial value of X is 10.
Suppose there are two implementations of the semaphore s, as follows:
I-1: s is a binary semaphore initialized to 1.
I-2: s is a counting semaphore initialized to 2.
Let V1, V2 be the values of X at the end of execution of all the threads with implementations I-1, I-2, respectively.
Which one of the following choices corresponds to the minimum possible values of V1, V2, respectively?
Your answerChoose one option.

Consider the pushdown automaton (PDA)
below, which runs on the input alphabet
, has stack alphabet
, and has three states
, with
being the start state. A transition from state
to state
, labelled
, where
is an input symbol or
,
is a stack symbol, and
is a string of stack symbols, represents the fact that in state
, the PDA can read
from the input, with
on the top of its stack, pop
from the stack, push in the string
on the stack, and go to state
. In the initial configuration, the stack has only the symbol
in it. The PDA accepts by empty stack.Which one of the following options correctly describes the language accepted by
?
