Answer:
The correct option is B.
Explanation:
Memory hierarchy is the ordering of storage systems according to their speed, capacity and cost.
The hierarchy consist of Register as the top, followed by cache, then main memory, secondary memory and external storage. As you go down the hierarchy, the speed decreases, the size increases and the cost decreases also.
Memory hierarchy diagram is attached for reference.
Answer:
Here is the code:-
//include the required header files
#include<stdio.h>
#include<pthread.h>
// method protocol definition
void *count_lines(void *arg);
int main()
{
// Create a thread handler
pthread_t my_thread;
// Create a file handler
FILE *fh;
// declare the variable
int *linecnt;
// open the data file
fh=fopen("data.txt","r");
// Create a thread using pthread_create; pass fh to my_thread;
pthread_create(&my_thread, NULL, count_lines, (void*)fh);
//Use pthread_join to terminate the thread my_thread
pthread_join( my_thread, (void**)&linecnt );
// print the number of lines
printf("\nNumber of lines in the given file: %d \n\n", linecnt);
return (0);
}
// Method to count the number of lines
void *count_lines(void *arg)
{
// variable declaration and initialization
int linecnt=-1;
char TTline[1600];
//code to count the number of lines
while(!feof(arg))
{
fgets(TTline,1600,arg);
linecnt++;
}
pthread_exit((void *)linecnt);
// close the file handler
fclose(arg);
}
