2 copies of a code module are to be executed in parallel on identical processors organized into two communicating clusters A and B. Cluster A contains 8 processors and cluster B contains 4 processors. How many sets of processors can be used if cluster A has 2 failed processors and cluster B has 4 failed processors? __________
Accepted Solution
A:
Answer: Number of sets of processors can be used is given byA = {A1,A2,A3,A4,A5,A6} and B = ФStep-by-step explanation:Since we have given that Number of processors in cluster A = 8A = {A1,A2,A3,A4,A5,A6,A7,A8}Number of processors in cluster B = 4B= {B1,B2,B3,B4}Number of processors failed in cluster A = 2Set A becomesA = {A1,A2,A3,A4,A5,A6}Number of processors failed in cluster B = 4B = ФHence, number of sets of processors can be used is given byA = {A1,A2,A3,A4,A5,A6} and B = Ф
