Explanation of Solution

Importance of BASIC Language in 1980’s:

The first version of BASIC targeted the liberal arts students who had little knowledge on science. The goal of BASIC was to make the programming easy for beginners especially those who were non science oriented.

  • The reason behind they developed a simple language was that their science students easily followed languages like Fortran and ALGOL 60 in their studies, but arts students had great difficulty in understanding those languages...

Question D.4: FIFO Page Replacement Consider the following page reference string: e, c, b, e, a, g, d, c, e, g, d, a Considering 4 frames, fill in the following table and then answer how many page faults would occur with the FIFO page replacement algorithm. RS: reference string; FO: frame 0, F1: frame 1, etc. Hint: all frames are initially empty, so your first unique pages will all cost one fault each. Time 1234567891011 12 RS e cb e agd ce g d a FO F1 F2 F3 Page fault? b) Total # page faults: c) Briefly (1-2 sentences) explain Belady's Anomaly that can occur in FIFO Page Replacement.
Consider a system that uses a fixed-partition scheme, with equal partitions of size 2" bytes, and the main memory has 2¹8 bytes. A process table is maintained with a pointer to the resident partition for each resident process. How many bits are required for the pointer in the process table? Show all your steps.
Use the same semaphore notation shown above to describe how we can ensure the execution order of the following process execution graph: P6 P2 P7 P1 P3 P4 P5 Use all of the following semaphores in your answer: s1=0; s2=0; s3=0; s4=0; s5=0; s6=0;
