GATE - 2015 [Operating System]
Question:
The maximum number of processes that can be in Ready state for a computer system with n CPUs is
|
A |
n |
|
B |
n2 |
|
C |
2n |
|
D |
Independent of n |
Solution:
Option (D) is Correct.
The number of processes that are in running processes will be at most n as there are n processors.
The maximum number of processes that will be in a ready state is independent of the number of processors.
The size of the ready queue doesn’t depend on the number of processes. A single processor system may have a large number of processes waiting in a ready queue.
