Suppose we are using 4-bit carry lookahead adder modules to build a 64- bit adder with two-level carry lookahead, with ripple carry between the modules. If the delay of a basic gate (AND, OR, NOT) is 2 nanoseconds, the worst-case delay of the 64-bit adder will be ……….. nanoseconds.

Your friend wants to design synchronization primitives and tells you that he would be better off by strictly ensuring that the processes alternate the critical section. Your response would be: 1. That might not satisfy the “progress” requirement 2. That might not satisfy the “mutual exclusion” requirement 3. That might not satisfy the “bounded wait” requirement 4. I guess that would suffice
