Your task is to improve a multi-threaded program that frequently writes small entries to a shared file by introducing a layer that merges in memory before writing to file to reduce the number of expensive I/O operations. Imagine a program which writes to file small log entries very frequently. The program is multithreaded and each thread writes log entries to a common log file. To simplify implementation, each thread just writes log individually with blocking I/O interface. Even though threads write to the shared file concurrently without any locking, this is correct because the OS guarantees the atomicity of individual write() operation

answer; i believe that the correct answer is (a)

i want to say d but i could be wrong however it is organized if that could happen..

hope it could

there is no universally accepted definition of art. although commonly used to describe something of beauty, or a skill which produces an aesthetic result, there is no clear line in principle between (say) a unique piece of handmade sculpture, and a mass-produced but visually attractive item. we might say that art requires thought - some kind of creative impulse - but this raises more questions: for example, how much thought is required? if someone flings paint at a canvas, hoping by this action to create a work of art, does the result automatically constitute art?
