  7. ICT301 Why study concurrent systems? The Story of “How to get Rich Quickly Without Studying ICT301”

  8. Concurrent Systems Systems with several processes that: • contribute to overall objective • independent • cooperate among themselves • exchange data • synchronise actions • compete for resources • respond toexternal events • interact with external environment

  9. level 7 elevator 3 bypasses a call at level 4 to go up because elevator 1 will be stopping at that level 3 level 6 4 level 5 elevator 1 answers the call at level 4 to go up because someone will be getting off from it at this level level 4 1 level 3 elevator 4 answers a call to go down level 2 2 elevator 2 discharging passengers at level 1 level 1

  41. The big speed difference • Two implications arising from big difference in speed: 1. We need buffers 2. The CPU should be deployed elsewhere

  42. The big speed difference • Two implications arising from big difference in speed: 1. We need buffers So the CPU does not have to wait while IO operations takes place

  43. The big speed difference • Two implications arising from big difference in speed: 1. We need buffers 2. The CPU should be deployed elsewhere This means dividing its attention among many tasks
