Question
Chapter 9.9, Problem 9.7PP
Program Plan Intro
Dynamic allocator:
Dynamic allocator keeps the heap as a group of several size blocks; each block is an attached portion of virtual memory which is allocated or free.
- An allocated block has been clearly kept for use by the application.
- A free block is offered to be allocated.
Two types of allocators:
- 1. Explicit allocators
- 2. Implicit allocators
Explicit allocators:
Explicit allocators need the application to explicitly free any allocated blocks.
Implicit allocators:
Implicit allocators is the method of automatically releasing vacant allocated blocks. This is also known as garbage collection.
Implicit free list:
In this method, a block contains one word header, payload and additional padding. The header encrypts the block size, which contains header and padding; and check the block is allocated or free.
- If the arrangement is single-word, the block size is constantly a multiple of “4” and the low-order bits of the block size are always zero.
- If the arrangement is double word, the block size is constantly a multiple of “8” and the low-order bits of the block size are always zero.
- Thus, essential to store only the high-order “29 bits” of the block size, freeing the remaining “3 bits” to encrypt other information.
- Here, smallest significant bits is using to represent the block is allocated or free.

- Write a C program using embedded assembler with a function to convert a digit (0 – 15) to the corresponding ASCII character representing the value in hexadecimal. For numbers 0 – 9, the output will be the characters '0' – '9', for numbers 10 – 15 the characters 'A' – 'F'. The entire core of the program must be written in symbolic instruction language; arrays may not be used. You may only use C to print the result. Tip: This piece of C program will do the same thing: character = number < 10 ? number + '0' : number + 55; As a basis, you can use this program again , which increments a variable. Just replace the INC instruction with ADD and add a test (CMP) with some conditional jump.arrow_forwardAnswer the question fully and accurately by providing the required files(Java Code, Two output files and written answers to questions 1-3 in a word document)meaning question 1 to 3 also provide correct answers for those questions.(note: this quetion is not graded).arrow_forward.NET Interactive Solving Sudoku using Grover's Algorithm We will now solve a simple problem using Grover's algorithm, for which we do not necessarily know the solution beforehand.
