3. In the text, we described a multithreaded file server, showing why it is better than a single-threaded server and a finite-state machine server. Are there any circumstances in which a single-threaded server might be better

    Answer and Explanation:

    • 1 thread awaits the incoming request

    • 1 thread responds to the request

    • 1 thread reads the hard disk

    A multithreaded file server is better than a single-threaded server and a finite-state machine server because it provides better response compared to the rest and can make use of the shared Web data.

    Yes, there are circumstances in which a single-threaded server might be better. If it is designed such that:

    - the server is completely CPU bound, such that multiple threads isn't needed. But it would account for some complexity that aren't needed.

    An example is, the assistance number of a telephone directory (e. g 7771414) for an community of say, one million people. Consider that each name and telephone number record is sixty-four characters, the whole database takes 64 MB, and can be easily stored in the server's memory in order to provide quick lookup.

    NOTE:

    Multiple threads lead to operation slow down and no support for Kernel threads.
