Program Plan Intro

Cloud computing:

  • Cloud computing is a type of computing that relies on computer resources sharing rather than the application running on local computing devices such as servers, computers, tablet, and Smart phones.
  • In a cloud computing, the cloud is used as a symbol for the internet, it means that the cloud computing is a type of internet based computing.

Characteristics of cloud computing:

The general characteristics of cloud computing are as follows:

On-demand self-service:

  • Allow the customer or subscriber of the cloud to use the applications without installation, communication and access their personal files.
  • The computing requirements are server, network storage, and software applications.

Broad network access:

  • The broad network access is an important component of cloud computing.
  • The services provided by the cloud provider must be accessible over the network from any location and any standardized platform.

Resource pooling

  • Resource pooling is the ability to provide the services to multiple subscribers for their needs.
  • The resources are assigned at the time of subscriber’s login and it will be changed dynamically based on their needs.
  • The subscribers are unaware of the location of resource where the reassignment is done.
  • Maintaining, upgrading, and administrating the hosts contributed to the cloud is a burden of the cloud provider.

Rapid elasticity

  • This refers to the ability to provide increased computing resources in peak hours without the concern of system overload and additional hardware requirements.
  • The size and capacity of the cloud should allow the user to increase and decrease as per their need and allow payment of the amount based on the usage.

Measured service

  • The cloud provider must measure the usage for the billing purposes.
  • The analysis of the usage, changes and updates are developed primarily from obtained data in usage meters.

A3Q3.c - You are to write a C program that implements the following disk scheduling algorithms: a. FCFS [10 marks] b. SCAN [10 marks] c. C-SCAN [10 marks] d. SSTF [10 marks] e. LOOK [10 marks] f. C-LOOK [10 marks] • Your program will service a disk with 300 cylinders numbered 0 to 299. • • • • The program will service the requests (a list of 20 cylinder numbers) given in the file request.bin. This file contains (4 byte) integer values representing requests ranging from 0-299. Your program will take the initial position of the disk head as the first command line argument and the direction of the head as the second command line argument. It will then output the requests in the order in which they are serviced, and the total amount of head movements required by each algorithm. In particular, your program needs to do the following: Your program should take two command line arguments a) First command line argument - initial position of the disk head (an integer value) b) Second command line…
2. The memory management has contiguous memory allocation, dynamic partitions, and paging. Compare the internal fragmentation and external fragmentation for these three approaches. [2 marks] 3. Suppose we have Logical address space = 24 = 16 (m = 4), Page size=2² =4 (n = 2), Physical address space = 26 = 64 (r = 6). Answer the following questions: [4 marks] 1) Total # of pages ? 2) Total # of frames ? 3) Number of bits to represent logical address? 4) Number of bits to represent offset ? 5) Number of bits to represent physical address? 6) Number of bits to represent a page number? 7) Number of bits to represent a frame number / 4. What is translation look-aside buffers (TLBS)? Why we need them to implement the page table? [2 marks] 5. Why we need shared pages for multiple processes? Give one example to show the benefits. [2 marks] 6. How to implement the virtual memory by using page out and page in? Explain with an example. [2 marks] 7. We have a reference string of referenced page…
8. List three HDD scheduling algorithms. [2 marks] 9. True or False? The NVM has the same scheduling algorithms with HDD. Explain why? [2 marks] 10. Why the modern mouses use polling to detect movements instead of interrupts? [2 marks] 11. What is thrashing? How does it happen? [2 marks] 12. Given a reference string of page numbers 7, 0, 1, 2, 0, 3, 0, 4, 2, 3, 0, 3, 0, 3, 2, 1, 2, 0, 1, 7, 0, 1 and 4 frames show how the page replacement algorithms work, and how many page faults? [6 marks], 1) FIFO algorithm? [2 marks] 2) Optimal algorithm? [2 marks] 3) LRU algorithm? [2 marks] 13. List at least three file systems that you know. [2 marks] 14. In C programming, how the seek to a specific position in the file by offset? [2 marks]
