Process Concept

An operating system executes a variety of programs:Batch system – jobsTime-shared systems – user programs or tasks

Textbook uses the terms job and process almost interchangeably

Process – a program in execution; process execution must progress in sequential fashion

A process includes:program counter stackdata section

Process in Memory

3.6 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne ©2009Operating System Concepts with Java – 8th Edition

Process State

As a process executes, it changes statenew: The process is being createdrunning: Instructions are being executedwaiting: The process is waiting for some event to occurready: The process is waiting to be assigned to a processorterminated: The process has finished execution

CPU Switch From Process to Process

3.11 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne ©2009Operating System Concepts with Java – 8th Edition

Process Scheduling Queues

Job queue – set of all processes in the system

Ready queue – set of all processes residing in main memory, ready and waiting to execute

Device queues – set of processes waiting for an I/O device

Processes migrate among the various queues

Representation of Process Scheduling

3.14 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne ©2009Operating System Concepts with Java – 8th Edition

Schedulers

Long-term scheduler (or job scheduler) – selects which processes should be brought into the ready queue

Short-term scheduler (or CPU scheduler) – selects which process should be executed next and allocates CPU

3.16 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne ©2009Operating System Concepts with Java – 8th Edition

Schedulers (Cont.)

Short-term scheduler is invoked very frequently (milliseconds) ⇒(must be fast)

Long-term scheduler is invoked very infrequently (seconds, minutes) ⇒ (may be slow)

3.17 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne ©2009Operating System Concepts with Java – 8th Edition

Context Switch

When CPU switches to another process, the system must save the state of the old process and load the saved state for the new process via a context switch

Context of a process represented in the PCB

Context-switch time is overhead; the system does no useful work while switching

Time dependent on hardware support

3.18 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne ©2009Operating System Concepts with Java – 8th Edition

Process Creation

Parent process create children processes, which, in turn create other processes, forming a tree of processes

Generally, process identified and managed via a process identifier (pid)

Parent and children share all resourcesChildren share subset of parent’s resourcesParent and child share no resources

ExecutionParent and children execute concurrentlyParent waits until children terminate

Resource sharing: 3 possibility

3.19 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne ©2009Operating System Concepts with Java – 8th Edition

Process Creation (Cont.)

Address spaceChild duplicate of parentChild has a program loaded into it

UNIX examplesfork system call creates new processexec system call used after a fork to replace the process’ memory space with a new program

Process Creation

3.21 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne ©2009Operating System Concepts with Java – 8th Edition

C Program Forking Separate Process

int main(){pid_t pid;

/* fork another process */pid = fork();if (pid < 0) { /* error occurred */

fprintf(stderr, "Fork Failed");exit(-1);

}else if (pid == 0) { /* child process */

execlp("/bin/ls", "ls", NULL);}else { /* parent process */

/* parent will wait for the child to complete */wait (NULL);printf ("Child Complete");exit(0);

}}

3.26 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne ©2009Operating System Concepts with Java – 8th Edition

Process Termination

Process executes last statement and asks the operating system todelete it (exit)

Output data from child to parent (via wait)Process’ resources are deallocated by operating system

Parent may terminate execution of children processes (abort)Child has exceeded allocated resourcesTask assigned to child is no longer requiredIf parent is exiting

Some operating system do not allow child to continue if its parent terminates

– All children terminated - cascading termination

3.27 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne ©2009Operating System Concepts with Java – 8th Edition

Interprocess Communication

Processes within a system may be independent or cooperatingCooperating process can affect or be affected by other processes, including sharing dataReasons for cooperating processes:

Information sharingComputation speedupModularity

Cooperating processes need interprocess communication (IPC)Two models of IPC

Shared memoryMessage passing

3.28 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne ©2009Operating System Concepts with Java – 8th Edition

Communications Models

3.30 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne ©2009Operating System Concepts with Java – 8th Edition

Producer-Consumer Problem

Paradigm for cooperating processes, producer process produces information that is consumed by a consumer process

unbounded-buffer places no practical limit on the size of the buffer. The consumer may have to wait for new items,but the producer can always produce new items.

bounded-buffer assumes that there is a fixed buffer size.In this case,the consumer must wait if the buffer is empty, and the producer must wait if the buffer is full.

3.35 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne ©2009Operating System Concepts with Java – 8th Edition

Interprocess Communication –Message Passing

Mechanism for processes to communicate and to synchronize their actionsMessage system – processes communicate with each other without resorting to shared variablesIPC facility provides two operations:

send(message) – message size fixed or variable receive(message)

If P and Q wish to communicate, they need to:establish a communication link between themexchange messages via send/receive

3.37 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne ©2009Operating System Concepts with Java – 8th Edition

Direct Communication

Processes must name each other explicitly:send (P, message) – send a message to process Preceive(Q, message) – receive a message from process Q

Properties of communication linkLinks are established automaticallyA link is associated with exactly one pair of communicating processesBetween each pair there exists exactly one linkThe link may be unidirectional, but is usually bi-directional

3.38 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne ©2009Operating System Concepts with Java – 8th Edition

Indirect Communication

Messages are directed and received from mailboxes (also referredto as ports)

Each mailbox has a unique idProcesses can communicate only if they share a mailbox

Properties of communication linkLink established only if processes share a common mailboxA link may be associated with many processesLink may be unidirectional or bi-directional

3.39 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne ©2009Operating System Concepts with Java – 8th Edition

Indirect Communication

Operationscreate a new mailboxsend and receive messages through mailboxdestroy a mailbox

Primitives are defined as:send(A, message) – send a message to mailbox Areceive(A, message) – receive a message from mailbox A

3.41 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne ©2009Operating System Concepts with Java – 8th Edition

Synchronization

Message passing may be either blocking or non-blocking

Blocking is considered synchronousBlocking send has the sender block until the message is received

Non-blocking is considered asynchronousNon-blocking send has the sender send the message and continue

Communications in Client-Server Systems

Sockets

Remote Procedure Call (Remote Method Invocation -RMI- in Java)

3.48 Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne ©2009Operating System Concepts with Java – 8th Edition

Sockets

A socket is defined as an endpoint for communication

Concatenation of IP address and port

The socket 161.25.19.8:1625 refers to port 1625 on host 161.25.19.8

Communication consists between a pair of sockets

Remote Method InvocationRemote Method Invocation (RMI) is a Java mechanism similar to RPCs

RMI allows a Java program on one machine to invoke a method on aremote object
