Design an isLocked() method that tests whether any thread is holding a lock (but does not acquire the lock). Give an implementation for any testAndSet (TAS) spin lock.
Write a MultiThreaded ServerSocket Program in C# that can handle multiple clients at the same time. a C# Server Socket use TcpListener Class and listen to PORT 9393. When the C# Server Socket gets a request from Client side, the Server passes the instance of the client request to a separate class handleClient. For each Client request, there is a new thread instant is created in C# Server for separate communication with Client.
This is some code in C for quicksort. The quicksort works correctly, but I am trying to implement multithreading. I am trying to run the recursive calls in parallel with a limit on how much threads can be running at one time (set by the global variable 'maximumThreads'). My logic is incorrect with managing how many threads can be ran at the same time. The part that I need you to look at is after the for loop in quick sort, where I have my logic for the mutex and the conditional variable. Right now when I run my code, the program runs without stopping. I would like help with correctly implementing this.   #include <stdlib.h>#include <string.h>#include <pthread.h>#include <stdio.h>#define SORT_THRESHOLD 40typedef struct _sortParams {char** array;int left;int right;int* currentThreads;pthread_mutex_t* mutex;pthread_cond_t* cond_var} SortParams;static int maximumThreads; /* maximum # of threads to be used *//* This is an implementation of insert sort, which although…
