1. (a) Deﬁne concurrency and parallelism. What opportunities for parallelism arisein distributed client-server systems?(b) How can the design of a distributed system ensure that it will be scalable?[4+4+8]2. Compare and explain times for Synchronous and Asynchronous Remote ProcedureCalls with suitable diagrams. [8+8]3. (a) Explain the advantage of copy-on-write region copying for UNIX, where a callto fork is typically followed by a call to exec.(b) What should happen if a region that has been copied using copy-on-write isitself copied? [8+8]4. Explain about logical time and logical clocks. [8+8]5. Explain how the conversation takes place between a client and a server in detail.[16]6. Explain about two-phase commit protocol for nested transaction. [16]7. Explain log for banking service with relevant diagram. [10+6]8. Summarize the abstractions provided by the Mach Kernel in detail. [16]
