In a purely command-based operating system, as per process management different data segments and code segments need to be manipulated/accessed for different processes (user-defined/system-defined) execution. The desirable output can only be generated if the data and code manipulation for the processes verified and validated properly.

a) Being a developer of such a command-based operating system, what type of pipe-filter application’s use would you embed in software architecture to generate the target code for a process execution? Justify with proper explanation.

b) Being a developer of such a command-based operating system, what type of pipe-filter application’s use would you embed in software architecture to test the performance of the system if the data segment increased continuously? Justify with proper explanation.

c) Being a developer of such a command-based operating system, what type of pipe-filter application’s use would you embed in software architecture to test the performance of the system if multiple numbers of devices are coupled to this system? Justify with proper explanation.
