Paravirtualization The context for this question is the same as the previous question. Above picture shows the I/O ring data structure used in Xen to facilitate communication between the guest OS and Xen.  Guest-OS places a request in the I/O ring using the “Request Producer” pointer. Xen places a response in the I/O ring using the “Response Producer” pointer.  Why does Xen typically not run out of space to place a response on this ring? State the invariant briefly.

When comparing two individuals of this same species of insect, the larger one would have a higher surface area – to- volume ratio.

Use Figure 3: Insect Circulation to answer the next set of questions. 

This animal has a closed circulatory system.

Spin The context for this question is the same as the previous question.  Your friend — having not read a research paper in 3 years — is struggling to understand the specific benefits SPIN provided in the “Extensibility, Safety and Performance in the SPIN Operating System” paper that was assigned. He was hoping you could briefly describe (in a sentence or two) each attribute listed in title of the paper, since the paper’s title was the only part that really stuck with him. b) How is SPIN safe?

Two independent foggy sightings (both report pink): Z1=Z2=1, baseline priors.Compute P (RS | Z1=Z2=1).

Paravirtualization   You are launching an application inside a para virtualized VM. Your expectation is that your application will have memory isolation and protection from other applications on the same VM.  With succinct bullets, explain how this expectation is fulfilled.
