System memory

1.If a process exits and there are still threads of that process running, will they continue

to run? LEWI96-42 2. The OS/390 mainframe operating system is structured around the concepts of address

space and task. Roughly speaking, a single address space corresponds to a single

application and corresponds more or less to a process in other operating systems.

Within an address space, a number of tasks may be generated and execute concurrently;

this corresponds roughly to the concept of multithreading. Two data structures are

key to managing this task structure.An address space control block (ASCB) contains

information about an address space needed by OS/390 whether or not that address

space is executing. Information in the ASCB includes dispatching priority, real and

virtual memory allocated to this address space, the number of ready tasks in this address

space, and whether each is swapped out.A task control block (TCB) represents

a user program in execution. It contains information needed for managing a task

within an address space, including processor status information, pointers to programs

that are part of this task, and task execution state.ASCBs are global structures maintained

in system memory, while TCBs are local structures maintained within their address

space.What is the advantage of splitting the control information into global and

local portions? OS2e-155
