If the data in memory are 10001100(in binary) which will be loaded into the registers by the following two loads in sequence (RISC-v assembly), show the content of register x1, x2, and x3 in hexadecimal respectively for the following instruction sequence. Assume that all registers are 32 bits. (20 pts)

If a system does not employ either a deadlock-prevention or a deadlock-avoidance algorithm, then a deadlock situation may occur. In this environment, the system may provide an algorithm that examines the state of the system to determine whether a deadlock has occurred. If all resources have only a single instance, then we can define a deadlock-detection algorithm that uses a wait-for graph. Please describe the wait-for graph and how it detects deadlock. (10 pts)
參考解答：
A wait-for graph is a directed graph used for deadlock detection in operating systems and relational database systems.
In a wait-for graph, processes are represented as nodes, and an edge from process $P_{i}$ to $P_{j}$ implies $P_{j}$ is holding a resource that $P_{i}$ needs and thus $P_{i}$ is waiting for $P_{j}$ to release its lock on that resource. If a wait-for graph contains a cycle, then the system is in a deadlock state.

(b) Given the reference string of page accesses: 1 2 3 4 2 3 4 1 2 1 1 3 1 4 and a system with three page frames, what is the final configuration of the three frames after the LRU algorithm is applied? (5 pts)
參考解答：
(a) 4, 3, 2
(b) 4, 1, 3

The following process are being scheduled using a preemptive, round-robin scheduling algorithm. Each process is assigned a numerical priority, with a higher number indicating a higher relative priority. In addition to the process listed below, the system also has an idle task (which consumes no CPU resources and is identified as Pidle). This task has priority 0 and is scheduled whenever the system has no other available processes to run. The length of a time quantum is 10 units. If a process is preempted by a higher-priority process, the preempted process is placed at the end of the queue.
Process Priority Burst Arrival P1 40 20 0 P2 30 25 25 P3 30 25 30 P4 35 15 60 P5 5 10 100 P6 10 10 105
