Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 2, Problem 6RQ
Explanation of Solution
Hardware capability in IBM 704:
IBM 704 with hardware capabilities of indexing and floating point instructions strongly affected the evolution of
Till that time, the floating point hardware was unavailable in computers. So all floating point operations had to be simulated in software, which was a much time consuming process.
As, so much processor time was spent in software to process floating point values, the inclusion of floating point hardware ended the cost of interpretation...

Whentheuserenters!!,themostrecentcommandinthehistoryisexecuted.In the example above, if the user entered the command:
Osh> !!
The ‘ls -l’ command should be executed and echoed on user’s screen. The command should also be placed in the history buffer as the next command.
Whentheuserentersasingle!followedbyanintegerN,theNthcommandin the history is executed. In the example above, if the user entered the command:
Osh> ! 3
The ‘ps’ command should be executed and echoed on the user’s screen. The command should also be placed in the history buffer as the next command.
Error handling:
The program should also manage basic error handling. For example, if there are no commands in the history, entering !! should result in a message “No commands in history.” Also, if there is no command corresponding to the number entered with the single !, the program should output "No such command in history."

2. UNIX Shell and History Feature [20 points]
This question consists of designing a C program to serve as a shell interface that
accepts user commands and then executes each command in a separate process. A
shell interface gives the user a prompt, after which the next command is entered.
The example below illustrates the prompt osh> and the user's next command:
cat prog.c. The UNIX/Linux cat command displays the contents of the file
prog.c on the terminal using the UNIX/Linux cat command and your program
needs to do the same.
osh> cat prog.c
The above can be achieved by running your shell interface as a parent process.
Every time a command is entered, you create a child process by using fork(),
which then executes the user's command using one of the system calls in the
exec() family (as described in Chapter 3). A C program that provides the general
operations of a command-line shell can be seen below.

- Question#2: Design and implement a Java program using Abstract Factory and Singleton design patterns. The program displays date and time in one of the following two formats: Format 1: Date: MM/DD/YYYY Time: HH:MM:SS Format 2: Date: DD-MM-YYYY Time: SS,MM,HH The following is how the program works. In the beginning, the program asks the user what display format that she wants. Then the program continuously asks the user to give one of the following commands, and performs the corresponding task. Note that the program gets the current date and time from the system clock (use the appropriate Java date and time operations for this). 'd' display current date 't': display current time 'q': quit the program. • In the program, there should be 2 product hierarchies: "DateObject” and “TimeObject”. Each hierarchy should have format and format2 described above. • Implement the factories as singletons. • Run your code and attach screenshots of the results. • Draw a UML class diagram for the program.arrow_forward#include <linux/module.h> #include <linux/kernel.h> // part 2 #include <linux/sched.h> // part 2 extra #include <linux/hash.h> #include <linux/gcd.h> #include <asm/param.h> #include <linux/jiffies.h> void print_init_PCB(void) { printk(KERN_INFO "init_task pid:%d\n", init_task.pid); printk(KERN_INFO "init_task state:%lu\n", init_task.state); printk(KERN_INFO "init_task flags:%d\n", init_task.flags); printk(KERN_INFO "init_task runtime priority:%d\n", init_task.rt_priority); printk(KERN_INFO "init_task process policy:%d\n", init_task.policy); printk(KERN_INFO "init_task task group id:%d\n", init_task.tgid); } /* This function is called when the module is loaded. */ int simple_init(void) { printk(KERN_INFO "Loading Module\n"); print_init_PCB(); printk(KERN_INFO "Golden Ration Prime = %lu\n", GOLDEN_RATIO_PRIME); printk(KERN_INFO "HZ = %d\n", HZ); printk(KERN_INFO "enter jiffies = %lu\n", jiffies); return 0; } /* This function is called when the…arrow_forwardList at least five Operating Systems you know.

The receiver then reassembles the packets back into the original message. We refer to this process as message segmentation. Figure 1.27 (attached) illustrates the end-to-end transport of a message with and without message segmentation. Consider a message that is 106 bits long that is to be sent from source to destination in Figure 1.27. Suppose each link in the figure is 5 Mbps. Ignore propagation, queuing, and processing delays. a. Consider sending the message from source to destination without message segmentation. How long does it take to move the message from the source host to the first packet switch? Keeping in mind that each switch uses store-and-forward packet switching, what is the total time to move the message from source host to destination host? b. Now…arrow_forwardConsider a packet of length L that begins at end system A and travels over three links to a destination end system. These three links are connected by two packet switches. Let di, si, and Ri denote the length, propagation speed, and the transmission rate of link i, for i = 1, 2, 3. The packet switch delays each packet by dproc. Assuming no queuing delays, in terms of di, si, Ri, (i = 1, 2, 3), and L, what is the total end-to-end delay for the packet? Suppose now the packet is 1,500 bytes, the propagation speed on all three links is 2.5 * 10^8 m/s, the transmission rates of all three links are 2.5 Mbps, the packet switch processing delay is 3 msec, the length of the first link is 5,000 km, the length of the second link is 4,000 km, and the length of the last link is 1,000 km. For these values, what is the end-to-end delay?arrow_forward
