Exercise 3.39

Exercise 3.39. Which of the five possibilities in the parallel execution shown above remain if we instead serialize execution as follows:

(define x 10)

(define s (make-serializer))

(parallel-execute (lambda () (set! x ((s (lambda () (* x x))))))


a.

1. x = 10 -> 10

2. new-value = x * x -> 100

3. x = x + 1 -> 11

4. (following 2.) x = new-value -> 100

b.

1. x = 10 -> 10

2. new-value = x * x -> 100

3. x = new-value -> 100

4. x = x + 1 -> 101

c.

1. x = 10 -> 10

2. x = x + 1 -> 11

3. new-value = x * x -> 121

4. x = new-value -> 121
