1st project Sample solution problems (actual bugs this time) (all 19)

9:54am Tue 5th Sep, Lewei X.

Yes, I do agree on this, just a bit confused after this post, as the 2 sleep processes wouldn't come close to unblocking at the exact same time

>Just to clarify this section: >If multiple processes can be unblocked at any time, they are unblocked (added to the READY queue) in the same order that they requested their action. >so if two processes where sleeping, pid0 and pid1, and pid0 called sleep() before pid1 did, but pid0 sleeps for 5000usecs while pid1 sleeps for 10usecs, would pid0 be unblocked before pid1 because it requested sleep() before pid1 did? >> Yes, that's correct.

Now that I'm reading it again, it doesn't explicitly mention that pid0 and pid1 unblock at the same time, and Christ must've assumed thats what he meant (that pid1 and pid0) unblock at the same time.
