Andrew S. Tanenbaum (OS) Edition 4 Exercise 2 Question 11 (Page No. 174)
If a multithreaded process forks, a problem occurs if the child gets copies of all the parent’s threads. Suppose that one of the original threads was waiting for keyboard input. Now two threads are waiting for keyboard input, one in each process. Does this problem ever occur in single-threaded processes?

Andrew S. Tanenbaum (OS) Edition 4 Exercise 1 Question 13 (Page No. 82)
Consider a system that has two CPUs, each CPU having two threads (hyperthreading). Suppose three programs, $P0, P1,$ and $P2$, are started with run times of $5, 10$ and $20$ msec, respectively. How long will it ... all three programs are $100\%$ CPU bound, do not block during execution, and do not change CPUs once assigned.
