- Assume that a memory module contains three holes of 10MB each. A sequence of 14 requests for 1MB each will be processed (See the diagram below). For each of the memory allocation methods listed below, draw a diagram representing how memory is allocated and determine the sizes of the remaining holes after all 14 requests have been satisfied. First fit Next fit C. Best fit d. a. b. Worst fit Hint - For the Next fit, the following allocation starts with the hole following the previous allocation 10 Mb 10 Mb 10 Mbarrow_forwardA disk has a capacity of two tera-byte size. Say the file system uses a multi-level inode structure for locating the data blocks of afile.The inode stores pointers to data blocks, including a single indirect block, a double indirect block, and several direct blocks in the 64 B of available space.Now, it is given that the disk has a block size of 512 B. The maximum file size that can be stored in such a file system in MB (round off upto 2 decimal places).arrow_forwardA layman's description of dynamic memory allocation is given here.arrow_forward
- The Stack and Heap are two distinct memory regions in computer memory management. The Stack is a region of memory that is used for static memory allocation, while the Heap is a region of memory that is used for dynamic memory allocation. The stack, frame, and their corresponding information are integral components in computer programming.arrow_forwardALSO: What is the hit ratio for the memory accesses (Round to the nearest percent.)arrow_forwardThere are many parameters that could be used to describe disk performance; among them are: number of bits per track disk capacity (in bits) number of disk surfaces rotational speed rotational latency transfer rate tracks per surface sectors per track blocks per track sectors per block seek time speed of disk arm block-read time number of blocks Some of these parameters are independent, and others are (approximately) linearly related. That is, doubling one doubles the other. Decide which of these parameters are linearly related. Then, select from the list below, the relationship that is true, to within a close approximation. Note: none of the statements may be true exactly, but one will always be much closer to the truth than the other three. Also note: you should assume all dimensions and parameters of the disk are unchanged except for the ones mentioned. a) If you divide tracks into half as many blocks, then you double the read time for a block.…arrow_forward

- SUBJECT: OPERATING SYSTEMarrow_forwardAn explanation of dynamic memory allocation is presented here in its most basic form.arrow_forwardQUESTION 5 The Towers of Hanoi game starts with a pile of disks with different sizes on one of three pegs. The other two pegs start empty. The disks are initially piled in order of size with largest on the bottom. The aim of the game is to transfer all of the disks to a destination peg by moving one disk at a time, never placing a disk on top of a smaller one. The spare peg may be used for intermediate moves. One solution to the problem recursively moves all but the largest disk to the spare peg, moves the largest disk to the destination peg, and then recursively moves all the other disks from the spare peg to the destination peg. This process is described by the following pseudocode: Hanoi( n, start, destination, spare ) // n is the number of disks and start, destination and spare are peg numbers if n>0 Hanoi( n-1, start, spare, destination) moveTopDisk( start, destination) // move top disk on start peg to destination peg Hanoi( n-1, spare, destination, start) Which of the following…arrow_forward
