In thediscussion of user-level-thread(utl)s versus kernel-level-thread(ktl)s, it says that a disadvantage of utls is the when a autl executes a system call, not only is that thread blocked, butalso all of the threads within the process are blocked. why is thatso?

Design a pos circuit that displays the letters a through j on a seven-segment indicator. the circuit has four inputs w, x, y, and z which represent the last 4 bits of the uppercase ascii code for the letter to be displayed. thus, if wxyz = 0001 then "a" will be displayed. (any answer with 22 or fewer gates and inverters, not counting any for the inputs, is acceptable)

Technician a says that with self-adjusting clutch systems, the release bearing constantly rotates. technician b says that the ball bearing portion of the release bearing should be lubricated with high-temperature grease during routine maintenance. which technician is correct?

Using a conditional expression, write a statement that increments numusers if updatedirection is 1, otherwise decrements numusers. ex: if numusers is 8 and updatedirection is 1, numusers becomes 9; if updatedirection is 0, numusers becomes 7.
