Program Plan Intro

Given C code:

void psum1(float a[], float p[], long n)

{

long i;

p[0] = a[0];

for(i = 1; i<n ;i++);

p[i] = p[i-1]+a[i];

}

Cycles per element (CPE):

  • The CPE denotes performance of program that helps in improving code.
  • It helps to understand detailed level loop performance for an iterative program.
  • It is appropriate for programs that use a repetitive computation.
  • The processor’s activity sequencing is controlled by a clock that provides regular signal of some frequency.

Memory aliasing:

  • It denotes a case where two pointers might designate to memory location that is same.
  • The compiler should assume that unlike pointers might be aliased for safe optimizations.
  • The program aspects that could limit chances for a compiler in generating optimized code denote optimization blockers.
  • If a compiler is unable to determine whether two pointers might be aliased, it should adopt that either case would be possible.
  • The possible optimization set is been limited in this case.

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…
