n assembly line with 30 activities is to be balanced. The total amount of time to complete all 30 activities is 60 minutes. The longest activity takes 2.4 minutes and the shortest takes .3 minutes. The line will operate for 480 minutes per day. What are the maximum and minimum cycle times? (using the cycle time formula) How much daily output will be achieved by each of those cycle times?

The various operations in a computer are stored either in the cache or memory. Franko phones, a computer assembly plant in Ghana has come out with a three level cache computer. If their computer has main memory access time 1200nsand the first, second and third caches have 500ns, 400ns and 200ns access times respectively. If h1, h2 and h3 are respectively 0.7, 0.6 and 0.5a) Generate an equation for computing the average access time of the new computer.Using your equation determine the average access time. Assuming cache 2 goes down, but this does not affect the operation of the computer, refine your equation in “a” above and compute the new average access time. explain how you arrived at your answer.
The pump in the system shown below is used to transport water from reservoir A to reservoir B. The elevation difference between the two reservoirs is Δz, and the piping has a 370 ft length of 16-in diameter. The flow is fully turbulent with Darcy-Weisbach friction factor of 0.0002. The minor losses in the system are negligible and can be ignored. Suppose the pump vendor has supplied the characteristics of the pump in a form of tabulated data (shown in the table below), answer the following: (a) Using an excel sheet, plot the pump supply and efficiency curves Vs volume flow rate using the data provided by the vendor. (b) For the given dimensions of the system, generate the general system curve equation (useful head as function of elevation and volume flow rate). (c) Plot two system curves, one with Δz = 0 ft and Δz = 50 ft, in the same figure of the plots generated in part ‘a’. (d) From part ‘c’, determine the operating points and the efficiencies corresponding to the operating points…

A company manufactures two types of trucks. Each truck must go through the painting shop and the assembly shop. If the painting shop were completely devoted to painting type 1 trucks, 800 per day could be painted, whereas if the painting shop were completely devoted to painting type 2 trucks, 700 per day could be painted. If the assembly shop were completely devoted to assembling truck 1 engines, 1500 per day could be assembled, whereas if the assembly shop were completely devoted to assembling truck 2 engines, 1200 per day could be assembled. It is possible, however, to paint both types of trucks in the painting shop. Similarly, it is possible to assemble both types in the assembly shop. Each type 1 truck contributes $1000 to profit; each type 2 truck contributes $1500. Use Solver to maximize the company’s profit
The Noname Computer Company builds a computer designated model ICU2. It imports the motherboard of the computer from Taiwan, but the company inserts the sockets for the chips and boards in its plant in Lubbock, Texas. Each computer requires a total of ninety 64K dynamic random access memory (DRAM) chips. Noname sells the computers with three add-in boards and two disk drives. The company purchases both the DRAM chips and the disk drives from an outside supplier. Suppose that the forecasted demands for the computer for weeks 6 to 11 are 220, 165, 180, 180, 175, and 250. The starting inventory of assembled computers in week 6 will be 75, and the production manager anticipates returns of 30 in week 8 and 10 in week 10. The product structure diagram for the ICU2 computer is given in the Figure below. Determine the MPS for the computers. Determine the planned order release for the motherboards assuming a lot-for lot scheduling rule. Determine the schedule of outside orders for the disk…
Suppose we have four jobs in a computer system, in the order JOB1, JOB2, JOB3 and JOB4. JOB1 requires 8 s of CPU time and 8s of I/O time; JOB2requires 4s of CPU time and 14s of disk time; JOB3 requires 6s of CPU time; and,JOB4 requires 4s of CPU time and 16s of printer time. Define the followingquantities for system utilization:• Turnaround time = actual time to complete a job• Throughput = average number of jobs completed per time period T• Processor utilization = percentage of time that the processor is active (notwaiting)Compute these quantities (with illustrations if needed) in each of the followingsystems:a. A uniprogramming system, whereby each job executes to completion beforethe next job can start its execution.b. A multiprogramming system that follows a simple round-robin scheduling. Eachprocess gets 2s of CPU time turn-wise in a circular manner
Obtain the average waiting time, and the turnaround time, including CPU Utilization and throughput, and draw the chart for the following set of processes using Non-P SJF, and SRTF. Process Burst Time Arrival Time A 10 0 B 6 5 C 7 7 D 3 5 E 1 3
Consider the last 5 alphabets of your name as processes. The size of the process is the ASCII code of the alphabet. If your name has alphabets less than 5 then add P, X, and Z in the end. Size of memory is 500 MB. Having dual core processor show the sequence in which the processes will be loaded in memory. Arrival of first process is at 9 a.m and each process arrives 5 mins after the previous process. The burst time of all processes is 10 and the priority of vowels (i.e. a,e,i,o,u) is 1 and priority of all other processes is 2. Apply the scheduling algorithms to show in which sequence the processes will execute. Calculate the waiting time of each process and average waiting time. What do you think which algorithm works best in the given scenario. Give reason for your answer. Note : My Name is Sufyan
