Program Plan Intro
Features of COCOMO model:
- COCOMO (constructive cost model) is used for the cost estimation of any project.
- This model was developed by Boehm in 1981.
- It is also used for calculating the effort required and the people required for carrying out the project within the dead line.
- It uses some formula to calculate the effort by the help of
algorithm models. - There are three versions of the COCOMO which are listed below:
- Basic COCOMO
- Intermediate COCOMO
- Detailed COCOMO

Memory management is the functionality of an operating system which handles or manages primary memory and moves processes back and forth between main memory and disk during execution. Memory management keeps track of each and every memory location, regardless of either it is allocated to some process or it is free.
Given five memory partitions of 110 KB, 450 KB, 100 KB, 250 KB, and 500 KB (in order), how would each of the first-fit, best-fit, and worst-fit algorithms place processes of 212 KB, 417 KB, 112 KB, and 426 KB (in order)?Which algorithm makes the most efficient use of memory? Write a program to compare and justify your answer.
A software manager is in charge of the development of a safety-critical
software system, which is designed to control a radiotherapy machine to
treat patients suffering from cancer. This system is embedded in the
machine and must run on a special-purpose processor with a fixed amount
of memory (256 Mbytes). The machine communicates with a patient
database system to obtain the details of the patient and, after treatment,
automatically records the radiation dose delivered and other treatment
details in the database.
The COCOMO method is used to estimate the effort required to develop this
system and an estimate of 26 person-months is computed. All cost driver
multipliers were set to 1 when making this estimate.
Explain why this estimate should be adjusted to take project, personnel,
product and organizational factors into account. Suggest four factors that
might have significant effects on the initial COCOMO estimate and propose
possible values for these factors. Justify why you have…

- In the context of memory allocation, dynamic memory allocation refers to the process by which memory is allocated and deallocated at runtime.arrow_forwardA modem computer needs memory (RAM and ROM) to function. Memory is where programmes and data are stored when the processor is actively using them. Because memory is linked to the processor, moving instructions and data into and out of the processor is incredibly fast. In a multiprogramming computer, the operating system occupies a portion of memory, while the remainder is shared by several processes. As a result, memory management is required to split memory across different processes. As an engineer in the R&D department, write a newsletter about "Memory Management in Personal Computing". The newsletter should have the following points: a) Definition of memory management b) Explanation of three reasons for applying memory management in personal computing. c) Explanation of four memory management techniques d) References - Use a referencing style that complies with the APA style. e) Page of Turnitin Originality report with the percentage of similarity indexarrow_forwardMemory management stops programmes from accessing one another's memory regions by acting as a barrier between them. Why is it that one process can't access the memory of another process if there's a memory management unit involved?arrow_forward
- In memory management, distinguish between dynamic and static loading.arrow_forwardWithin the context of an operating system, a discussion should take place on an issue caused by concurrent processing.arrow_forwardUsing the approach of incremental memory allocation, it is possible to perform an operation without first storing the whole state of the system in memory.arrow_forward
- Different memory allocation techniques are used by operating systems, which will be identified and described.arrow_forwardAlmost many computer users assume that when a multitasking process is underway, the CPU is actually processing all of the tasks that have been allocated to it at the same time.With the use of a single memory management strategy and a few interruptions, demonstrate to the average user what happens when you're multitasking in real time.arrow_forwardDynamic memory allocation is explained for laypeople.arrow_forward
- Operating System: In order to eliminate the need for contiguous allocation of physical memory, paging is assumed as an efficient memory management technique. But in this technique, the user's view of memory is not the same as the actual physical memory, how this could be achieved and how hardware provides such complicated memory translation?arrow_forwardDynamic memory allocation is explained to non-technical audiences.arrow_forwardDynamic memory allocation is defined and clarified for the layperson.arrow_forward
