Supermarkets are constantly faced with a problem similar to page replacement in virtual memory systems. They have a fixed amount of shelf space to display an ever increasing number of products. If an important new product comes along, say, 100% efficient dog food, some existing product must be dropped from the inventory to make room for it. The obvious replacement algorithms are LRU and FIFO. Which of these would you prefer?

Now suppose that you are given two unsorted arrays A and B, containing m and n elements respectively. You are also given a black box O(n) selection algorithm SEL that can be called on A and B separately and, in addition, a small number (say, ten) of extra memory words that can be used to store some extra data. Using SEL as a subroutine, design an O(n + m) algorithm for finding the kth smallest element in the combined set of O(m + n) elements. You may not merge the two arrays in another array and call an algorithm (either SEL or something you wrote) on this third array. This is because there is no extra memory available to build this third array.

Multi-tasking can not be achieved with a single processor machine. True False 2. Async/Await is best for network bound operations while multi-threading and parallel programming is best for CPU-bound operations. True False 3. The following is a characteristic of an async method:The name of an async method, by convention, ends with an "Async" suffix. True False 4. Using asynchronous code for network bound operations can speed up the time needed to contact the server and get the data back. True False 5. Asynchronous programming has been there for a long time but has tremendously been improved by the simplified approach of async programming in C# 5 through the introduction of: The Task class True False
Most systems allow programs to allocate more memory to its address space during execution. Data allocated in the heap segments of programs is an example of such allocated memory. What is required to support dynamic memory allocation in the following schemes: a. contiguous-memory allocation b. pure segmentation c. pure paging

Write an efficient parallel program with dynamic task assignment that reads n integers from any input file and finds the 2nd largest (without sorting), using p processors (p << n). Assume m is the largest array size slave computers can handle due to memory limitation (m << n/p) and n is divisible by m. Note: Master has no memory limitation. Please do as follow: Name your file xxxxxH2.c, where xxxxx is at most the first 5 characters of your last name and H2 is the program number. Remember all I/O should be done ONLY by master. Your program should be modular i.e. using subprograms. Make sure to print input data. Print your name at the end of OUTPUT. To execute: mpiexec -n p a.out n m < inputfile Example: mpiexec -n 3 a.out 120 15 < inputfile
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are an example of a network that may facilitate communication. Sensing nodes in WSNS communicate with one another and a central hub. The computing resources and storage space of a sensor node are limited. Think of an algorithm that can be solved by separating it into smaller chunks. To solve these subproblems at separate sensor nodes, would you prefer use divide and conquer or dynamic programming? Please be brief in your writing.

How can you design and implement an efficient algorithm for sorting a large dataset with limited memory resources? Explain the different types of sorting algorithms, including comparison-based and non-comparison-based algorithms, and their strengths and weaknesses in terms of time and space complexity. Discuss various memory management techniques, such as external sorting and memory-mapped files, that can be used to optimize the performance of the algorithm. Provide a code example in a programming language of your choice to demonstrate the effectiveness of your sorting algorithm. Finally, evaluate the performance of your algorithm using appropriate metrics and discuss potential improvements or further research directions.
The OS decides to implement a limit on the number of memory pages that any given program is allowed to use; at most 16 pages are allowed to be valid for a given program, not including the page table; attempting to use more than 16 pages of memory, the OS returns either a stack overflow, or a NULL heap pointer (depending on the request). What is the best-case and worst-case number of pages that our page table will use, if we run a program that uses a full 16 pages of virtual memory? Worst-case: 16 e x 0% Best-case: 1 X0% Ignoring the access to the page table base register (which stores where the start of the page table is in physical memory), how many physical memory accesses are required per virtual memory access? 256 e x0%
