Sheet1 Page 1 1. Name the differences between process and thread 2. Specify the hardware support necessary for memory protection and explain briefly how it works. a. Monitor/user mode b. Privileged instructions c. Timer d. Memory protection 3. Show the correctness criteria for the producer-consumer problem. (1) No underflow: consumer must wait for producer to fill buffers. counter variable should not be less then zero, because consumer decrements it (2) No overflow: producer must wait if all buffer space is in use. Counter variable should not increase more than buffer size, because producer increments value of count. (3) Only one process must manipulate buffer pool at once. Mutual exclusion of processes, only one process manipulates buffer at a time. 4. Write down the solution of the Producer-Consumer problem using monitor. Let N be the buffer size
