Distributed Systems: Concepts and Design Edition 3 By George Coulouris, Jean Dollimore and Tim Kindberg Addison-Wesley, ©Pearson Education 2001 Chapter 1 Exercise Solutions 1.1 Give five types of hardware resource and five types of data or software resource that can usefully be shared. Give examples of their sharing as it occurs in distributed systems. 1.1 Ans. Hardware: CPU: compute server (executes processor-intensive applications for clients), remote object server (executes methods on behalf of clients), worm program (shares cpu capacity of desktop machine with the local user). Most other servers, such as file servers, do some computation for their clients, hence their cpu is a shared resource. memory: cache server (holds recently-accessed web pages in its RAM, for faster access by other local computers) disk: file server, virtual disk server (see Chapter 8), video on demand server (see Chapter 15). screen: Network window systems, such as X-11, allow processes in remote computers to update the content of windows. printer: networked printers accept print jobs from many computers. managing them with a queuing system. network capacity: packet transmission enables many simultaneous communication channels (streams of data) to be transmitted on the same circuits. Data/software: web page: web servers enable multiple clients to share read-only page con
