6. Next-fit is an allocation algorithm that starts by using the first-fit algorithm, but it keeps track of the partition that was last allocated, so that it can start its next search from that exact spot instead of restarting the search with Block 1. In other words, it starts searching from the most recently allocated block when the next job arrives. Using the following configuration with jobs arriving in order (Job A, B, C, and D) and with blocks shown in order from low-order memory to high-order memory: Job List: Job Number Job A Job B Job C Job D Memory Requested 625K 44K 900k 220K Memory Block List: Memory Block Block 1 Block 2 Block 3 Block 4 Block 5 Memory Block Size 250K 900K 280K 200K 50K a. Indicate which memory blocks are allocated to each of the arriving jobs. b. Explain in your own words what advantages the next-fit algorithm could offer.

Write a java program that will generate a permuterm index from the terms in the files in an input directory. The program should prompt the user for a single directory and find all of the terms (after processing) in each file in it. The program should then find the permutations of each term and store them (keeping track of the original word each permutation comes from). After all of the text files in the directory have been read, the output of the program should display the permutations in sorted order along with the original term. Use the dollar sign as the end of term symbol.
Implement MERGE-SORT() algorithm that reads from a file named “inputHW02.txt” a list of double numbers (max =3,000,000 numbers), sorts those numbers and indicates time consumption. This programming question will address theadvantage of using iteration loops over recursive calls as well as using INSERTION-SORT() as a procedure in MERGESORT().Your program must perform the following actions:1. Opens the given file name and reads all double numbers. For simplicity, we assume this file only containsnumbers and nothing else.2. Implements the function INSERTION-SORT() that only sort an array of maximum 25 numbers. The idea is thatINSERTION-SORT() will be used as a sub-procedure to sort any sub-array when its size is small enough.3. Four versions of MERGE-SORT() namelya. MERGE-SORT-A(): Using recursive calls and NO INSERTION-SORT() as a sub-procedureb. MERGE-SORT-B(): Using ITERATIVE loops (i.e, NO recursion) and NO INSERTION-SORT() as a subprocedure.c. MERGE-SORT-C(): Using recursive calls…
In the third step, you will review the Quicksort and the Insertion Sort code. You will recall from the class presentation that it was suggested that Quicksort is not very efficient when the partition sizes become very small. It was also suggested in class that most implementations of Quicksort switch to another method when the partition size gets small. Create a new version of the Quicksort code to switch to Insertion sort on partitions less than 32 data items in size. 1. Confirm, using a small data set, that your version works. 2. Run a comparison between the original Quicksort and your new version in a way like the way you did comparisons in Step 2. Use the RANDOM.TXT file for the data to test both versions - with at least 50000 items of data in your input file.
TaskDeclare and implement 5 classes: FloatArray, SortedArray,FrontArray, PositiveArray & NegativeArray.1- The FloatArray class stores a dynamic array of floats and itssize. It has:- A parameterized constructor that takes the array size.- An add method that adds a float at the end of the array.- Overloading for the insertion operator << to write the array to afile (ofstream)- Overloading for the extraction operator >> to read the arrayelements from the file (ifstream) and add them to the array.- A destructor to deallocate the array2- The SortedArray inherits from FloatArray. It has:- A parameterized constructor that takes the array size.- An add method that adds a float at the right place in the arraysuch that the array remains sorted with every add. Don’t add tothe array then sort but rather add in the right place.3- The FrontArray inherits from FloatArray. It has:- A parameterized constructor that takes the array size.- An add method that adds a float at the front of…
CHALLENGE ACTIVITY 420468 2512078.qx3zqy7 Consider a comma-separated file that contains student names and scores such as the following: Jane Lee, 100, 98, 97, 100 Aaron X. Schmidt, 37, 42, 49, 54 Frank von Tardy, 2, 3, 10, 7 8.19.4: Rearrange the lines to compute the total score for a single student. We can read the file one line at a time and use an istringstream object to process the scores. To get the position of the first comma, simply read words from the input stream until the word ends with a comma. Then, read and sum the numbers remaining on the line. Use get to remove the commas following each number. Rearrange the lines below to compute the total score for a single student. Assume that each student has at least one score. Mouse: Drag/drop Keyboard: Grab/release Spacebar (or Enter). Move 100. Cancel Esc Unused total= total + score; while (getline(in_file, line)) in.str(line); in >> word; char ch; in.get(ch); in >> word; while (word [word.size()-1] != ',') total = 0; while (in…
3. I/O Management: Disk Arm Scheduling & RAIDa. It is known that a disk drive has 256 cylinders, with cylinder numbers starting from 0 and ending at 255. The position of the needle on the disk drive currently stops at 128. It is also known that the needle always “goes to the cylinder with the smaller number first”. The order of the positions visited sequentially is: 254, 64, 32, 100, 50, 70. From the 3 choices of algorithms below, which one is the best algorithm? Make each image and determine the seektime.i. SCANii. C-SCANiii. FIFO
Lab03-08. We can erase data elements from a random file because the connected stream in memory is in fact an array. We erase a data item by shifting the rest of the items one position toward the beginning of the stream. However, shifting creates a duplicate data item at the end. In an array, we reduce the size to avoid using that duplicate. In the case of a stream, we must change the last element to a dummy. We know that a file of characters can be accessed randomly because the size of a character is fixed. Assume that you have the following file of characters: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ Write a program that erases any character in the file given its position (0 to 25). Remember to change the duplicate character in the end to a null character.
Implement a blog server in C 1. Implement get of all posts (GET /posts), and individual post (GET /post/1) 2. Implement creation of post (POST /posts). Allow the user to enter their name, but check that they are a valid user in db. Do error checking! The user should not specify the post id; that should come from the database. 3. Write three html files to test this; serve them with the blog server: index.html shows the list of posts with a link to each. post.html shows a post. publish.html allows the creation of a new post. Link these together as a user would expect!
The following exercises are meant to be answered by a single MAT- LAB command. The command may be involved (i.e., it may use a number of parentheses or calls to functions) but can, in essence, be solved by the execution of a single command. If the command is too complicated, feel free to break it up over two or more lines. 1. Create a vector of the even numbers between 31 and 75. 2. Let x = [2 5 1 6]. Add 16 to each element Add 3 to just the odd-index elements Compute the square root of each element Compute the square of each element
The general utility of numbering with collections The use of integer index values to access objects in a collection is something that we will see over and over again—not just with ArrayLists but also with several different types of collections. So it is important to understand what we have seen of this so far: that the index values start at zero; that the objects are numbered sequentially; and that there are usually no gaps in the index values of consecutive objects in the collection. Using integer values as indices also makes it very easy to express in program code expressions such as “the next item” and “the previous item” with respect to an item in the collection. If an item is at index p, then “the next” one will be at index (p+1) and “the previous” one is now at index (p–1). We can also map natural-language selections such as “the first three” to program-related terminology. For example, “the items at indices 0, 1, and 2” or “the last four” could be “the items at indices…
using Python programming language. The Towers of Hanoi is a classic puzzle that consists of 3 towers, and n disks of different sizes that can slide onto any tower. The puzzle starts with the disks sorted in ascending order of size from top to bottom. It has the following constraints:a. Only one disk can be moved at a time.b. A disk can only be moved from the top of one tower to another tower.c. A disk can only be placed on top of a larger disk. Write a pseudo-code.
Implement a city database using ordered lists by using java. Each database record contains the name of the city (a string of arbitrary length) and the coordinates of the city expressed as integer x and y coordinates. Your database should allow records to be inserted, deleted by name, and searched by name. Another operation that should be supported is to print all records within a given distance of a specified point/coordinate. The order of cities should be alphabetically by city name. Implement the database using both: an arraybased list implementation, and a circular single linked list implementation.Use may the following node, SLL implementations to implement an ordered circular single linked list
