A)

Program Plan Intro

Given Information:

The definition for the code is mentioned below:

//Traverse through the grid

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

{

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

{

//add values of x into grid

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

//add values of y into grid

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

}

}

B)

Program Plan Intro

Given Information:

The definition for the code is mentioned below:

//Traverse through the grid

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

{

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

{

//add values of x into grid

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

//add values of y into grid

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

}

}

C)

Explanation of Solution

Miss rate:

  • The cache can only hold half of the elements in the array, so that means that a read to grid[8][0] will evict the block that was loaded when we read grid[0][0].  Since this block also contained grid[0][1], the first read of grid[0][1] will be a miss.
  • Hence, each iteration will have one hit and one miss. 
  • This means one will have 128 hits and 128 misses.

Hence,

miss rate = (numberofmiss/totalreads

D)

Explanation of Solution

New Miss Rate:

If the cache were twice as big them also no change will be made to the mi...

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. #include #include #define MAX LINE 80 /* The maximum length command */ { int…
