Pаrаllel_Systems_2 Shаred Memоry Machines 2. [4 pоints] A shared memоry multiprocessor consists of individual processors that support an atomic Test-and-Set (T&S) instruction. Each processor has private caches, and an invalidation-based coherence protocol ensures consistency. Your aim is to make sure that the T&S operation is globally atomic. What design choices are available to you to achieve this aim?
Pаrаllel_Systems_3а M.E.Lоck [4 pоints] The Linux kernel histоrically used a ticket spin lock on multiprocessor systems. In 2016, Linux patch introduced a “qspinlock”, which is a “hybrid” design drawing inspiration from queue-based locks (MCS) and the old ticket lock. “qspinlock” is built based on a linked-list lock. However, the first spinner (next-in-line thread) spins on a lock bit instead of carrying a node structure from lock to unlock. When more contenting thread arrives, the first spinner pays the overhead to revert back to spin on the node structure and queues additional threads in a linked list. a. [2 points] In terms of caching behaviors, describe (1) a scenario when qspinlock outperforms ticket lock and (2) a scenario when qspinlock outperforms a pure MCS lock. Justify the performance in both scenarios with your explanation.
