- I got an exam question and didn't know answer.
- The task was:
- ----------
- A programmer would like to create a very fast application, hence it organizes its software in 13 processes (a parent and 12 children), all running in parallel. <br/>
- Child threads are very :
- 1. I/O-intensive, hence make very frequent use of system calls (read/write from files/pipes/sockets, write on standard output, etc.)
- 2. CPU intensive, hence make very frequent use of system calls: <br/>
- Describe when this would be a good choice, when this would be a bad choice, and motivate your answer.
- ----
- Number 1 and 2, are different questions. So answer should be for both. Good and bad sides of I/O intensive, good and bad sides of CPU intensive. <br/>
- * Sorry for inappropriate topic, I changed it. <br/>
- * "Child Threads" was on exam paper. So I copied it. I think, my professor wanted to write "process"
- ----
- Thank you
