Distributed Systems (KCS077) — complete question paper
Section AAttempt all questions in brief. 2x10 = 20
- aExplain the concept of consistent global state and transitl ess global state
- bShow the vector clocks are m ore suitable than Lamport’s log i c a l c l o c k f o r a distributed system
- cDifferentiate between resour ce and communication deadlock
- dList various performance met rics for distributed mutual exclusion algorithm
- eGive some applications of agreement protocols
- fDiscuss the benefits of groupi ng files into volumes in Coda
- gDifferentiate between consis tent and strongly consistent checkpoints
- hDiscuss forward and backward recovery in distributed systems. (i) List basic, multi version and conservative timestamp orderi ng algorithm in increasing order of transaction abort. (j) Differentiate between flat and nested transactions
Section BAttempt any three of the following: 10x3 = 30
- aDiscuss the major issue in d esigning a distributed system
- bClassify the Deadlock detection algorithms. Describe the Pa th-Pushing deadlock detection algorithm
- cDiscuss the architecture of distributed file system
- dExplain dynamic voting protoc ol. Also compare it with static voting protocol
- eDiscuss lock based concurrency control algorithms
Section CAttempt any one part of the following: 10x1 = 10
- aDiscuss the limitations of di stributed system. List some problem arises because of these limitations
- bExplain fundamental and arch itectural model of distributed system
- aGive the deadlock handling st rategies in distributed system. Also differentiate among centralized, distributed and hierarchical deadlock detection strategies in distributed system
- bDiscuss the concept of Mutual Exclusion? Describe the requi rements of mutual exclusion in distributed system. Is mutual exclusion problem mo re complex in distributed system than single computer system? Justify your answer
- aDescribe Byzantine agreement problem, and explain its solution. Show that Byzantine agreement cannot always be reached among four processors if two processors are faulty
- bGive the design issues in di stributed shared memory. State the algorithm for implementation of distributed shared memory
- aList various issues in a fault tolerant system. Also differ entiate between fault and failure
- bDiscuss the requirement of in serting checkpoints in message passing in distributed system. Show that whe n checkpoints are taken after every K messages sent, where K is greater than 1, the recovery system s uffers from domino effect. Assume that a proc ess take a checkpoint after se nding the K th message but doing nothing else
- aDiscuss Atomic commit in dis tributed transaction with suitable example
- bExplain the followings (i) Transaction with replicated data (ii) Highly available services
