3、er without resorting to shared variables IPC facility provides two operations: send(message) message size fixed or variable receive(message) If P and Q wish to communicate, they need to: establish a communication link between them exchange messages via send/receive Implementation of communication li
4、nk physical (e.g., shared memory, hardware bus) logical (e.g., logical properties),Communications Models,Implementation Questions,How are links established? Can a link be associated with more than two processes? How many links can there be between every pair of communicating processes? What is the c
5、apacity of a link? Is the size of a message that the link can accommodate fixed or variable? Is a link unidirectional or bi-directional?,Direct Communication,Processes must name each other explicitly: send (P, message) send a message to process P receive(Q, message) receive a message from process Q
6、Properties of communication link Links are established automatically A link is associated with exactly one pair of communicating processes Between each pair there exists exactly one link The link may be unidirectional, but is usually bi-directional,Indirect Communication,Messages are directed and re

Solutions Allow a link to be associated with at most two processes Allow only one process at a time to execute a receive operation Allow the s

Sender is notified who the receiver was.,Blocking and Non-blocking,Message passing may be either blocking or non-blocking Blocking is considered synchronous Blocking send has the sender block until the message is received Blocking receive has the receiver bl
11、ock until a message is available Non-blocking is considered asynchronous Non-blocking send has the sender send the message and continue Non-blocking receive has the receiver receive a valid message or null,Buffering,Queue of messages attached to the link; implemented in one of three ways 1. Zero cap

14、LL, SIGUSR1, SIGSTOP, SIGCONT What happens when a signal is received? Catch: Specify signal handler to be called Ignore: Rely on OS default action Example: Abort, memory dump, suspend or resume process Mask: Block signal so it is not delivered May be temporary (while handling signal of same type) Di

Synchronous signal: programming errors, such as invalid data, divide by zero SIGTRAP: a condition arises that a debugger has requested to be informed of. SIGBUS: a bus error SIGSEGV: an invalid memory reference, or segmentation fault. SIGFPE: an erroneous arithmetic operatio
