Textbook Question
Chapter 6, Problem 6.24HW
Suppose that a 2 MB file consisting of 512-byte logical blocks is stored on a disk drive with the following characteristics:
| Parameter | Value |
| Rotational rate | 15,000 RPM |
| Seek | 4 ms |
| Average number of sectors/track | 1,000 |
| Surfaces | 8 |
| Sector size | 512 bytes |
For each case below, suppose that a program reads the logical blocks of the file sequentially, one after the other, and that the time to position the head over the first block is Tavg seek + Tavg rotation.
- A. Best case: Estimate the optimal time (in ms) required to read the file over all possible mappings of logical blocks to disk sectors.
- B. Random case: Estimate the time (in ms) required to read the file if blocks are mapped randomly to disk sectors.

An application loads 100 libraries at start-up. Loading each library requires exactly one disk access. The seek time of the disk to a random location is given as 10 ms. Rotational speed of disk is 6000 rpm. If all 100 libraries are loaded from random locations on the disk, how long does it take to load all libraries? (The time to transfer data from the disk block once the head has been positioned at the start of the block may be neglected.)
While statements may start and stop anywhere in the flexible manner popularized by Algol60, most modern programming languages insist that statements finish with an end sign like a semicolon or colon. To the contrary, Python and a handful of other programming languages adhere to a set structure in which statements start in a certain column and stop at the end of a line of code unless continuation marks are provided for each statement. Discover how readability, writability, and security are affected by a file's fixed or free format in the following paragraphs.
No files need to be provided , the file foo is just an example.

- Goal:Experimenting with AES-128 symmetric key cipher. Note:Using Python programming language that provided libraries for AES. Description:PART 1: write a program that uses AES-128 to decrypt a message. The program should be named "decrypt", and should deal with three files that contain the encrypted text as a stream of bytes, the 128-bit key for decryption stored as a stream of bytes, and the outcome of the decryption, respectively.- To test this program, here's an example of an encrypted message (ciphertext.dat) and its 128-bit secret key (key.dat). PART 2: you will try to use "brute force" to decrypt an encrypted message, where you only have the first 96-bits of the 128-bit secret key (last 4 bytes of the secret key are missing!) The program should be called "findk", and should deal with two files that contain the encrypted text as a stream of bytes and the first 96-bits of the key, respectively. The program should print out on standard output the missing 4 bytes of the key in…arrow_forwardIn python, rite a recursive function, displayFiles, that expects a pathname as an argument. The path name can be either the name of a file or the name of a directory. If the pathname refers to a file, its filepath is displayed, followed by its contents, like so: File name: file_path Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit... Otherwise, if the pathname refers to a directory, the function is applied to each name in the directory, like so: Directory name: directory_path File name: file_path1 Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...

- USE PYTHON Python already supports math, whereby you can write code to add, subtract, multiply, or divide values and even variables. But let’s write a program that enables users to do math, even without knowing Python. In a file called interpreter.py, implement a program that prompts the user for an arithmetic expression and then calculates and outputs the result as a floating-point value formatted to one decimal place. Assume that the user’s input will be formatted as x y z, with one space between x and y and one space between y and z, wherein: x is an integer y is +, -, *, or / z is an integer For instance, if the user inputs 1 + 1, your program should output 2.0. Assume that, if y is /, then z will not be 0. Note that, just as python itself is an interpreter for Python, so will your interpreter.py be an interpreter for math!
