OS-Lab-10 Solution

The document outlines exercises for an operating systems lab assignment. Exercise 1 involves implementing the producer-consumer problem with a bounded buffer and creating a process class. Exercise 2 provides code for using multiprocessing queues to send tasks from a writer process to a reader process, and times how long it takes to send different amounts of data. The code is then corrected to properly implement the multiprocessing queue.

Exercise 2:

Explain and correct the code if required

from multiprocessing import Process, Queue


import time
def reader(queue):
while True
msg = queue.get()
if (msg == 'DONE'):
break
def writer(count, queue):
for i in range(0, count):
queue.put(iii)
queue.put('DONE')
if __name__=='__main__':
for count in [10**4, 10**5, 10**6]:
queue = Queue()
reader_p = Process(target=reader, args=((queue),))
reader_p.daemon = True
reader_p.start()
start = time.time()
writer(count, queue)
reader_p.join
print “sending %s numbers to Queue() took %s seconds” % (count, (time.time() - _start))

Correction:
from multiprocessing import Process, Queue
import time

def reader(queue):
while True:
msg = queue.get()
if (msg == 'DONE'):
break

def writer(count, queue):


for ii in xrange(0, count):
queue.put(ii)
queue.put('DONE')

if __name__=='__main__':

for count in [10**4, 10**5, 10**6]:
queue = Queue()
# writer() writes to queue
reader_p = Process(target=reader, args=((queue),))
reader_p.daemon = True
reader_p.start()

_start = time.time()
writer(count, queue)
reader_p.join()
print "Sending %s numbers to Queue() took %s seconds" % (count,
(time.time() - _start))

Answer:

This given correction I’ve done showing us how to use queues to feed tasks to a
collection of worker processes and collect the results & print.
