The classical Tower of Hanoi (ToH) puzzle is well-known. It consists of three pegs and disks of sizes 1,2, . . . , n arranged on one of the pegs as a “tower”, in decreasing order of size, from bottom to top. The goal of the puzzle is to transfer all disks to another peg, placed in the same order. At each step, a single disk is moved from (the top of) one peg to (the top of) another, subject to the “divine” rule: to never have a larger disk above a smaller one.

The classical Tower of Hanoi (ToH) puzzle is well-known. It consists of three pegs and disks of sizes 1,2, . . . , n arranged on one of the pegs as a “tower”, in decreasing order of size, from bottom to top. The goal of the puzzle is to transfer all disks to another peg, placed in the same order. At each step, a single disk is moved from (the top of) one peg to (the top of) another, subject to the “divine” rule: to never have a larger disk above a smaller one.Write an algorithm and draw the flow chart for moving all the disks from Peg A to Peg B.
The puzzle called the Towers of Hanoi consists of three pegs, one of which contains several rings stacked in order of descending diameter from bottom to top. The problem is to move the stack of rings to another peg. You are allowed to move only one ring at a time, and at no time is a ring to be placed on top of a smaller one. Observe that if the puzzle involved only one ring, it would be extremely easy. Moreover, when faced with the problem of moving several rings, if you could move all but the largest ring to another peg, the largest ring could then be placed on the third peg, and then the problem would be to move the remaining rings on top of it. Using this observation, develop a recursive algorithm for solving the Towers of Hanoi puzzle for an arbitrary number of rings.
To solve the Hanoi Towers problem, run the following program in image 1 with using the recursive programming method step by step for n = 4 disks and draw the image on the memory like image 2 (image 2 to for n = 3).
Consider that the process of baking a cake is analogous to the process of calculating three iterations of a loop on a parallel computer. Find and explain instances of parallelism at both the data level and the task level in the cake-making loop.
For Heap File with a page directory, assume that a page can contain up to 100 directory entries and a page can contain 1000 records, for a file of 1,000,000 records, what is the number of pages to store these records, assuming that on average data pages are filled up 70%? With this data page utilization, what is the number of pages to store the directory, assuming that each directory page is full? Assuming both the directory and the file are stored on disk, what is the I/O cost to insert one record in worst case, and in the average case?
1. Let T (n) be the number of moves in our solution to the n-disc Towers ofHanoi puzzle. Recall that to solve this puzzle,•move the top n −1 discs from the source to the scratch peg,•move disc n from the source to the destination peg, and•move the top n −1 discs from the scratch to the destination peg.The first step takes T (n −1) moves, the second step takes one move, andthe third step takes T (n −1) moves again. In other words,T (n) = 2T (n −1) + 1.This applies when n > 0. At zero, we have T (0) = 0, because with zerodiscs the start and final states are identical; there are no moves to make.Your task is to find a closed-form expression for T (n) (i.e., one that doesnot use recursion), and prove that it’s correct using induction.
(Practice) Although the total number of bytes varies from computer to computer, memory sizes of millions and billions of bytes are common. In computer language, the letter M representsthe number 1,048,576, which is 2 raised to the 20th power, and G represents 1,073,741,824, which is 2 raised to the 30th power. Therefore, a memory size of 4 MB is really 4 times 1,048,576 (4,194,304 bytes), and a memory size of 2 GB is really 2 times 1,073,741,824 (2,147,483,648 bytes). Using this information, calculate the actual number of bytes in the following: a. A memory containing 512 MB b. A memory consisting of 512 MB words, where each word consists of 2 bytes c. A memory consisting of 512 MB words, where each word consists of 4 bytes d. A thumb drive that specifies 2 GB e. A disk that specifies 4 GB f. A disk that specifies 8 GB
This is essentially the gist of the explanation for dynamic memory allocation.
Design a memory map to work with 8085 Microprocessor to have 8K byte ROM and 2K byte RAM. ROM should start from memory location 0000H and RAM immediately follows it. Use exhaustive decoding scheme?
implement parallel matrix multiplicationC = A×B by row partitioningmatrix A and sending each process its partition and the whole of matrix B. Eachprocess performs its own multiplication and sends the partial product to the masterprocess which collects all results and then prints the product matrix C, we have 4processes including the master process. The output matrix C displayed is the product of matrices A and B.use python to code.
Using the following code, determine the average case time complexity for the algorithm. function hanoi(numofdisks, start, dest, spare) { if (numofdisks > 0) { hanoi(numofdisks - 1,start,spare,dest); printf("move top of disk from peg %i to peg %i \n", start, dest); hanoi(numofdisks - 1,spare,dest,start); } }
In summary, the following elucidates the concept of dynamic memory allocation.
