Consider the following program: const int n = 50;
int tally;
void total()
{
int count;
for (count = 1; count<= n; count++){
tally++;
}
}
void main()
{
tally = 0;
parbegin (total (), total ());
write (tally);
}

a. Determine the proper lower bound and upper bound on the final value of the shared variable tally output by this concurrent program. Assume processes can execute at any relative speed, and a value can only be incremented after it has been loaded into a register by a separate machine instruction.
b. Suppose that an arbitrary number of these processes are permitted to execute in parallel under the assumptions of part (a). What effect will this modification have on the range of final values of tally?

In deadlock avoidance using banker’s algorithm, what would be the consequence(s) of: (i) a process declaring its maximum need as maximum possible for each resource. in other words, if a resource a has 5 instances, then each process declares its maximum need as 5. (ii) a process declaring its minimum needs as maximum needs. for example, a process may need 2-5 instances of resource a. but it declares its maximum need as 2.
