    1. User-level threads are managed by applications while kernel-level threads are managed by the operating system kernel. Kernel threads can schedule multiple threads from the same process if one is blocked. 2. Multithreading is applicable to Android operating systems because it allows users to do multiple tasks simultaneously, like watching a video in a window while doing another task. 3. Threads are an essential part of an operating system because they are responsible for utilizing the CPU and both user-level and kernel-level threads have responsibilities that make them important to the OS.

    2.) In your perspective, is multithreading applicable to Android operating system?


    Why or why not?
    - Yes, it is applicable. As technology widens, the ability to multitask is being
    maximized. There are phones that are even commercialized as tablets. And tablets
    commercialized as an alternative to laptops. Multithreading is applicable to Android
    operating systems because this system is constantly being modified where users can
    maximize its use by making, creating, and doing many tasks at one time. For example,
    the ability to place something that you are watching to a window, where you can still
    watch while doing another task in your Android gadget.
    3.) Would you consider the concept and functionalities of threads as an essential
    part of an operating system? Rationalize your answer.
    - Yes, because these threads are responsible for utilizing the CPU or the Central
    Processing Unit. Both the user-level thread and the kernel -level threads have their own
    objectives and responsibilities in the Operating Systems which makes them an essential
    part of the Operating System.
    B.
    1.) Explain the relationship between concurrency and dreadlocks in operating
    systems.
    - Concurrency oversees the management of processes and threads in the
    Operating System which makes concurrency the core of the OS. And as processes and
    threads are being done, there are some processes that are being disturbed or processes
    that compete for the systems resources. This is where the dreadlocks come in, because
    dreadlocks are in charge of permanent blocking the set of processes that disturbs the
    Operating System. These work hand in hand because as the concurrency manages,
    dreadlocks are the one responsible for making sure that the process is being executed
    well.
    2.) In your perspective, what degree of process interaction best supports
    synchronization?
    - Cooperation by communication, because if the interaction needs to be
    synchronized then both the processes needs to be aware of each other. Cooperation
    by communication is a process designed to work jointly with each other.
    3.) Which strategy is better, deadlock avoidance or deadlock prevention? Rationalize
    your answer.
    - Deadlock avoidance, because more concurrencies will be allowed, but the
    decisions are made dynamically. And due to this, the knowledge of future processes
    resource requests must be known. If the process will lead to a deadlock, then the
    process will be stopped. It immediately shows or stops a process if it will lead to a
    deadlock, but unless there are none, then the concurrency will continue.
