Threads The thread defines a sequential execution stream within a process. Processes The process defines the address space and general process attributes (everything but threads of execution) Kernel-level thread OS-managed threads are called kernel-level threads or lightweight processes. Thread operations still require system calls Kernel-level threads have to be general to support the needs of …
Notes on “Process” and “Process API”
Process The abstraction provided by the OS of a running program is something we will call a process. The process is the OS abstraction for execution A process is sometimes called a job or a task or a sequential process A sequential process is a program in execution A process contains all state for a …
Notes on “Mechanism: Limited Direct Execution”
Architecture must support (at least) two modes of operation: Mode is indicated by a status bit in a protected control register User programs execute in user mode OS executes in kernel, privileged mode (OS == “kernel”) User mode code that runs in user mode is restricted in what it can do. For example, when running …

Dynamic Programming
What is Dynamic Programming? Let’s have a look at the definition on Introduction to Algorithm： "Dynamic programming like the divide-and-conquer method, solves problems by combining the solutions to sub-problems. Different from divide-and-conquer, dynamic programming applies when the sub-problems overlap — that is, when sub-problems share sub-sub-problems. A dynamic programming algorithm solves each sub-sub-problems just once …
Convert Sorted Array to Binary Search Tree
This is NO.108 problem in leetcode. The description of this problem is: Given an array where elements are sorted in ascending order, convert it to a height balanced BST. For this problem, a height-balanced binary tree is defined as a binary tree in which the depth of the two subtrees of every node never differ …

Symmetric Tree – recursion and iteration
This is No.101 problem in leetcode. The question is: Given a binary tree, check whether it is a mirror of itself (ie, symmetric around its center). 1.Recursion: Recursion occurs when a thing is defined in terms of itself or of its type. In this problem, I will solve it in recursion first. The thought is …
