Operating System Question Paper

This document contains a test series for the Operating Systems subject for third year B.Tech IT students. [SECTION A] contains three compulsory questions about the differences between CPU-bound and I/O-bound processes and processes and threads. It also asks about inter-process communication and the fork() and execlp() system calls. [SECTION B] contains two questions to attempt about the evolution of operating systems, a producer-consumer problem solution, and process states. [SECTION C] contains two questions to attempt about scheduler types and queues, comparing FCFS and SJF scheduling algorithms using sample processes, and explaining context switching.
