Question 1
Analyze the efficiency of using Copy-on-Write (COW) in a scenario where multiple child processes are created from a single parent. How does COW enhance memory management in this situation?
💡 Hint: Think about how shared access facilitates better resource use in multitasking environments.
Question 2
Implement a conceptual flowchart that illustrates the actions taken by the OS during a process’s fork() when COW is involved, particularly focusing on memory access and fault handling.
💡 Hint: Map out each event chronologically to visualize the COW process.
