Question

Choose the most suitable multithreaded architecture can be used

in each of the following cases:

1. Server designed to handle 100 requests simultaneously.

2. Editing a word document.

3. Visitors’ tracking system in the ministry of defense, supported with surveillance

   cameras.

4. Being able to check pdf document, watch a film, install a new program, copy files

   to a flash memory simultaneously.

Answer 1

1. Server designed to handle 100 requests simultaneously : Simultaneous multithreading as this ensures that each core of CPU is break up into several threads to ensure performance.

2. Editing a word document : Interleaved multithreading as multiple threads may be in line but only one thread is accessed at a time.

3. Visitors’ tracking system in the ministry of defense, supported with surveillance cameras : Coarse-grained multithreading as there may be multiple cameras and only one camera can be focused at a time. This ensures rapid switch between threads.

4. Being able to check pdf document, watch a film, install a new program, copy files to a flash memory simultaneously : Simultaneous multithreading
