Suppose the head of a moving-head disk with 200 tracks numbered 0 to 199 is currently serving a request at track 99 and has just finished a request at track 125. The queue of outstanding requests in FIFO order is: 5, 95, 75, 100,30 and 155. What is the total number of head movements (in cylinders) for the following disk-scheduling algorithms? a.FCFS Scheduling b.SCAN Scheduling  c.SSTF Scheduling

Fundamentals of memory

A collection of connected storage devices form the memory unit. It is a space to store data and instructions required for processing. Information is stored in a memory unit in the form of bits. There are two types of memory namely:
