- There are many parameters that could be used to describe disk performance; among them are: number of bits per track disk capacity (in bits) number of disk surfaces rotational speed rotational latency transfer rate tracks per surface sectors per track blocks per track sectors per block seek time speed of disk arm block-read time number of blocks Some of these parameters are independent, and others are (approximately) linearly related. That is, doubling one doubles the other. Decide which of these parameters are linearly related. Then, select from the list below, the relationship that is true, to within a close approximation. Note: none of the statements may be true exactly, but one will always be much closer to the truth than the other three. Also note: you should assume all dimensions and parameters of the disk are unchanged except for the ones mentioned. a) If you double the number of sectors per block, then you double the number of blocks on the disk. b)…arrow_forwardThere are many parameters that could be used to describe disk performance; among them are: number of bits per track disk capacity (in bits) number of disk surfaces rotational speed rotational latency transfer rate tracks per surface sectors per track blocks per track sectors per block seek time speed of disk arm block-read time number of blocks Some of these parameters are independent, and others are (approximately) linearly related.

Sometimes they are combined in a segmentation with paging scheme. Design a memory management scheme for a 50 bit computer architecture, using paging, segmentation or both, as described in this module's readings. Your post should include a clear translation scheme from a 50 bit logical address to a 50 bit physical address including a picture that shows how this translation takes place. In particular, each field of the logical address must be clearly depicted and its length in bits must be specified. The proposed scheme must be at least somewhat realistic; for this reason, simple paging and simple segmentation schemes are automatically disqualified, due to the impossible requirements imposed on the implementation in this case (50 bits addresses)arrow_forward
- Operating sys :In the following producer and consumer problem using semaphores, explain with an example (semaphore values), how a producer sends a signal to a consumer, so that the consumer does not have to check the buffer all the time. /*program, Producer/Consumer */ semaphore n = 0; /* no of items in the buffer */ semaphore s = 1; /* ME semaphore */ void Producer () { while(TRUE) { produce(); wait(s); append(); signal(s); signal(n); } } void Consumer () { while(TRUE) { wait(n); wait(s); take(); signal(s); consume(); } }arrow_forwardProgram binaries in many systems are typically structured as follows. Code is stored starting with a small fixed virtual address such as 0. The code segment is followed by the data segment that is used for storing the program variables. When the program starts executing, the stack is allocated at the other end of the virtual address space and is allowed to grow towards lower virtual addresses. What is the significance of the above structure on the following schemes: a. contiguous-memory allocation b. pure segmentation c. pure pagingarrow_forwardQuestion 5 Multiple Choice: We have been assigned the task of selecting an interface language for a disk controller that must count disk reads. In particular, the controller must count how many reads have occurred since the last write to the disk and confirm that the count of reads does not exceed 1,000,000. Two proposals have been made. Method C uses C++ while Method R uses regular expressions. Then I would use Method C because Method R would translate into a finite automaton with at least 1,000,000 states. I cannot use Method C because it is not able to keep track of the count of reads. I would use Method C because Method R cannot keep track of the count of reads. I cannot use Method R because regular expressions cannot represent integers.arrow_forward
- Design a memory map to work with 8085 Microprocessor to have 8K byte ROM and 2K byte RAM. ROM should start from memory location 0000H and RAM immediately follows it. Use exhaustive decoding scheme?arrow_forwardNote: Write a bash script to simulate producer-consumer problem using semaphores. Producer-consumer problem is a common paradigm for cooperating processes. A producer process produces information that is consumed by a consumer process. One solution to the producer-consumer problem uses shared memory. To allow producer and consumer processes to run concurrently, there must be available a buffer of items that can be filled by the producer and emptied by the consumer. This buffer will reside in a region of memory that is shared by the producer and consumer processes. A producer can produce one item while the consumer is consuming another item. The producer and consumer must be synchronized, so that the consumer does not try to consume an item that has not yet been produced.arrow_forwardProblem DescriptionThe Tower of Hanoi ProblemTower of Hanoi is a mathematical game consisting of three pegs (P1, P2 and P3) and a stack of disks of different diameters. Disks can slide onto any peg. The game starts with all disks stacked on P1 and ends at the point where all disks stacked on P3. The game player is required to move all disks from P1 to P3 using P2 as a buffer. Three rules must be followed when playing the game(1) Only one disk may be moved at a time.(2) Each move involves taking a disk on the top of a peg and place it on the top of another peg. (3) A disk of a larger diameter should never be placed on top of a disk of a smaller diameter.

For the CPU to be able to execute a jump, the target of a jump must be a valid memory address. However, code generators typically generate jumps to symbolic addresses (labels). For example: beq exit Answer the following questions about symbolic addresses. i. What are the advantages of using symbolic addresses? ii. Which programs are responsible for translating such symbolic addresses to actual memory addresses? iii. How do code generators create symbolic addresses?arrow_forward
