When a memory request fails, a larger hole may be created by: 1. Moving one or more blocks within main memory (compaction) 2. Moving one or more blocks to the disk (swapping) Briefly describe one advantage and one disadvantage of each scheme.
Define logical address and physical address. If a hard disk has an access time of 10 MB per second, what is the swapping time for a process of 100 MB?
Thanks For a 5,000 RPM disk, assume its average seek time is 7 msec, and it has 100 MB/sec bandwidth; assume the sector size is 512 bytes. (In this problem, MB means 1,000,000 bytes.) How long does it take to access 2,048 bytes of contiguous data on average? What is the average throughput (bytes per second) if the user accesses 512 bytes for each I/O? Assume the data is perfectly aligned on the disk. How long does it take to access 1 MB of contiguous data (on average)? What is the average throughput (bytes per second) if the user accesses 1 MB for each I/O operations? Assume the data is perfectly aligned on the disk. Suppose a user expects his or her average throughput to reach 50% of the disk’s maximum bandwidth. Find the minimum I/O size needed to achieve this.
The latency of accesses made across various levels of the memory hierarchy may be decreased by the use of buffers. Please list any feasible buffers that might be used between the L1 and L2 caches, as well as between the L2 cache and the RAM, given the configuration that has been supplied.
Accesses between various levels of the memory hierarchy have a lower latency thanks to buffers. List all potential buffers that could exist between the L1 and L2 caches and the L2 cache and the RAM under the configuration that is given.
Accesses between various levels of the memory hierarchy are made faster by using buffers. List any potential buffers between the L1 and L2 caches and the L2 cache and the RAM for the given configuration.
1)Why would DMA be useless if the computer did not have interrupt capability? 2). A multiplattered hard disk is divided into 1100 sectors and 40,000 cylinders.There are six platter surfaces. Each block holds 512 bytes. The disk isrotating at a rate of 4800 rpm. The disk has an average seek time of 12msec.a. What is the total capacity of this disk?b. What is the disk transfer rate in bytes per second?c. What are the minimum and maximum latency times for this disk? What isthe average latency time for this disk?
A computer has a cache, main memory, and a disk used for virtual memory. If a referenced word is in the cache, 20 ns are required to access it. If it is in main memory but not in the cache, 60 ns are needed to load it into the cache, then the reference is started again. If the word is not in main memory, 12 ms (not ns) are required to fetch the word from disk, then the reference is started again. The cache hit ratio is 0.9 and the main memory hit ratio is 0.06. What is the average time in ns required to access a referenced word on this system?
Assume that 1000MB of data needs to be transferred to the hard disk at the rate of 200 MB /sec. Considering a swapout time of 2000ms, what would be the total context switch component time.
Provide some examples of the pros and cons of caching disk write operations.
