Amdahl’s Law:

  • It denotes an observation on effectiveness of performance improving of a system part.
  • The main idea is that when one system part is been speed up the effect on overall system would depend on significance and speed up of the part.
  • Suppose the execution of an application needs “Told” time.
  • Some part of system may require a fraction “α” of this time and the performance is improved by a factor of “k”.
  • The overall execution time will be “Tnew=Told[(1-α)+α/k] ”.
  • The speed up can be computed as “S=Told/Tnew”.
  • Hence, the expression for speed up is “S=1/(1-α)+α/k”.

I need help with problem 40. What do I need to do?
3. The diagram below shows the main land routes for vehicular traffic between points A and G in a city. The figures in the arcs represent the cost of traveling between each pair of nodes.   a) Manually apply Dijkstra's algorithm to find the cheapest route between A and G (visited nodes and total distance). b) Formulate a linear programming problem in extended form, to determine the shortest route to travel from A to G. Do not use subscripts, name 14 variables, for example XFE would be the variable that indicates that the arc from F to E is used. c) If there is a fixed cost for visiting each node, modify the formulation of the problem to include said fixed cost in the objective function, and the variables and restrictions that are required.     NODE A B C D E F G FIXED COST 25 18 32 20 28 18 34

    41. Which of the following statements is not true for the deadlock prevention and deadlock avoidance schemes? a. Deadlock avoidance is less restrictive than deadlock prevention. b. In deadlock prevention, the request for resources is always granted, if the resulting state is safe. c. It is the priority to have the knowledge of resource requirements for deadlock avoidance. d. In deadlock avoidance, the request for resources is always granted, if the resulting state is safe.
    Problem 1: In the below figure we have an 11*11 board. The rows and columns are numbered from 0 to 10. The picture shows the way to calculate the next move on the board. The yellow square (5,6) is the example start position and the red square (7,8) is an example goal position, and the blue squares( in an order of expansion) are the possible positions resulting from one move from the start(yellow square). the moves from any point can be in order (up 1 move, right 2 move, down 2 moves, left 1 move), You should keep repeating the move up to the point you reach to the goal by using the Breadth-First Search algorithm.       Assuming the above-explained rules apply, you will solve the problem for your student number. Everybody will use the first 2 digits of their student number as a start point and the corresponding goal point which you will find at the end of the project in the table. In the table In some columns, you will see ex: +5 which means you will add your student number’s last digit…
