Chapter 6.5, Problem 6.18PP

A.

Program Plan Intro

Given Information:

The heart of the recent hit game SimAquarium is a tight loop that calculates the average position of 256 algae. One needs to determine the cache performance on a machine that has a 1024 byte direct mapped data cache with 16 byte blocks (B=16).

The definition for the game is mentioned below:

//Declare structure algae_position

struct algae_position{

int x;

int y;

};

//declare grid

struct algae_position grid[16][16];

//variable declaration

int total_x=0, total_y=0;

int i,j;

//traverse through grid to add x

for(i=0;i<16;i++)

{

for(j=0;j<16;j++)

{

total_x+= grid[i][j].x;

}

}

//traverse through grid to add y

for(i=0;i<16;i++)

{

for(j=0;j<16;j++)

{

total_y+= grid[i][j].y;

}

}

Explanation of Solution

Miss rate:

It is observed that for all 256 reads, 128 of them are misses. Similarly, for the second loops another 128 reads will be missed.

Hence, total number of misses= 128+128=256

Hence,

miss rate=(numberofmiss/totalreads)×100%

: The Multithreaded Cook In this lab, we'll practice multithreading. Using Semaphores for synchronization, implement a multithreaded cook that performs the following recipe, with each task being contained in a single Thread: 1. Task 1: Cut onions. a. Waits for none. b. Signals Task 4 2. Task 2: Mince meat. a. Waits for none b. Signals Task 4 3. Task 3: Slice aubergines. a. Waits for none b. Signals Task 6 4. Task 4: Make sauce. a. Waits for Task 1, and 2 b. Signals Task 6 5. Task 5: Finished Bechamel. a. Waits for none b. Signals Task 7 6. Task 6: Layout the layers. a. Waits for Task 3, and 4 b. Signals Task 7 7. Task 7: Put Bechamel and Cheese. a. Waits for Task 5, and 6 b. Signals Task 9 8. Task 8: Turn on oven. a. Waits for none b. Signals Task 9 9. Task 9: Cook. a. Waits for Task 7, and 8 b. Signals none At the start of each task (once all Semaphores have been acquired), print out a string of the task you are starting, sleep for 2-11 seconds, then print out a string saying that you…
Programming Problems 9.28 Assume that a system has a 32-bit virtual address with a 4-KB page size. Write a C program that is passed a virtual address (in decimal) on the command line and have it output the page number and offset for the given address. As an example, your program would run as follows: ./addresses 19986 Your program would output: The address 19986 contains: page number = 4 offset = 3602 Writing this program will require using the appropriate data type to store 32 bits. We encourage you to use unsigned data types as well. Programming Projects Contiguous Memory Allocation In Section 9.2, we presented different algorithms for contiguous memory allo- cation. This project will involve managing a contiguous region of memory of size MAX where addresses may range from 0 ... MAX - 1. Your program must respond to four different requests: 1. Request for a contiguous block of memory 2. Release of a contiguous block of memory 3. Compact unused holes of memory into one single block 4.…
