Consider a disk that rotates at 3600 rpm. The seek time to move the head between ad- jacent tracks is 2 ms. There are 32 sectors per track, which are stored in linear order from sector 0 through sector 31. The head sees the sectors in ascending order. Assume the read/write head is positioned at the start of sector 1 on track 8. There is a main memory buffer large enough to hold an entire track. Data is transferred between disk locations by reading from the source track into the main memory buffer and then writing the date from the buffer to the target track. a. How long will it take to transfer sector 1 on track 8 to sector 1 on track 9? b. How long will it take to transfer all the sectors of track 8 to the corresponding sec- tors of track 9?
In a computer with a 32-bit data-bus, how many 4-bit wide memory components are used? the answer to this part is 32/4 = 8 components (2-bit wide) I need the answer to part two, please If the size of each 4-bit memory component is 4 xn cells where n = 1G (i.e., 4 x n uniquely addressable locations-n: row, 4:2 column/width), what is the total capacity of the memory system? Show your answer in power of 2. (hint: 1000 - 210)
I need the answer as soon as possible
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 divide tracks into half as many blocks, then you double the read time for a block.…
Suppose a computer system uses 16-bit addresses for both its virtual and physical addresses. In addition, assume each page (and frame) has size 256 bytes. Could you hand draw the page table, if possible a) Suppose that the OS uses a two-level page table. Draw the page table. (Assume that frames 7 through 221 are free, so you can allocate space for the page table there.) In addition, suppose that the page-table directory storage comprises a whole number of consecutive full frames. (For examples: if the directory entry is 2 bytes, the entry’s storage comprises 1 frame; if the directory entry is 260 bytes, the entry’s storage comprises 2 consecutive frames.) b) What is the size of the two-level page table

Suppose we have a magnetic disk with the following parameters: Average seek time = 12 ms Rotation rate = 7200 RPM Transfer rate = 48 MB/second Sector size = 512 bytes What is the average time to read a single sector?
5.Find out how many parts are there in a floppy disk? Suppose a 3.5 inches floppy disk contained 80 tracks, each of which is divided into sectors capable of holding 512 characters. How many characters will the disk hold if each track is divided into 9 sectors? What if each track contains 18 sectors? How does these capacities compare to the size of 400-page novel in which each page contains 3500 characters?
