Max. Marks: 100 Marks
Answer ALL Questions
PART A-(10x2=20 Marks)
1) State the differences from synchronous and asynchronous communication along with the
buffering strategy adapted in both.

2) List the role of shared memory systems.

3) How do you define the scalar time and the vector time?

4) If the two events e1 and e2 of two different processes occur at same time,
independently. What kind of relationship exists between e1 and e2?

5) What are the various deadlock detection in distributed system? State a common factor in
detecting the deadlock.

6) How beneficial is the Chandy-Misra-Haas algorithm in the AND model and OR model?

7) What is a checkpoint in the recovery system? How it is useful?

8) State the issues in failure recovery. State the means to identify failure at an early stage.

9) What is virtualization? Why is it required in the larger organization?

10) State the relation of compute service with storage service in a cloud environment.

PART B - (5x13=65 Marks)


11) (a) Explain message passing systems and discuss on the message oriented middleware
and its types. Also explain their functionality in distributed computing.
Or
(b)Analyze the concepts of heterogeneity, openness, security, scalability impact of the
distributed systems. How the standardization of them is make them effective?
12) (a) Give a real time scenario where FIFO message queue is used. Write and describe the
snapshot algorithms for FIFO channels.
Or
(b) Describe the physical clock synchronization and logical clock synchronization
and explain the framework of a system of logical clock.
13) (a) State the Lamport’s algorithm and its use and also the limitations and benefits.
Compare this with any two token based algorithms.
Or
(b) Explain the system models with its preliminaries and how is it
characterized in the models of deadlock.
14) (a) Explain the facts associated with agreement in failure-free systems of both synchronous
and asynchronous systems.
Or
(b) What are the different checkpointing based recovery systems available? Explain the
coordinated check pointing algorithms with illustration.
15) (a) A company like to have an advanced collaboration services like video, chat and web
conferences for their employees, but their system does not support any of the IT resources due
to insufficient infrastructure. If they could leverage cloud computing technology in their
system, suggest a suitable cloud type with proper justification. List the characteristic of cloud
computing.
Or
(b) Explain the different cloud services and the platform that support these services. Give an
example for application service adapted by any organization.

PART C - (1x15=15 Marks)


16) (a) Consider an ABC IT company wanted to provide services like scientific converter, data
converter, currently converted and some of the business logic as a server side component to
the developer to tailor makes the applications. Explain the various adaptable technologies to
implements in a distributed. State its merit and demerits.
Or
(b) An organization has planned to implement a client module that emulates a conventional
file system interface for application programs,and server modules, that perform operations for
clients on directories and on files. State the best distributed architecture to delay and deliver
the system. Also explain the suitable system model to avoid failures and adapt a recovery
system for the same in case of unavoidable failures.
