Program Plan Intro

Dynamic allocator:

Dynamic allocator keeps the heap as a group of several size blocks; each block is an attached portion of virtual memory which is allocated or free.

  • An allocated block has been clearly kept for use by the application.
  • A free block is offered to be allocated.

Two types of allocators:

  1. 1. Explicit allocators
  2. 2. Implicit allocators

Explicit allocators:

Explicit allocators need the application to explicitly free any allocated blocks.

Implicit allocators:

Implicit allocators is the method of automatically releasing vacant allocated blocks. This is also known as garbage collection.

Implicit free list:

In this method, a block contains one word header, payload and additional padding. The header encrypts the block size which contains header and padding; and also check the block is allocated or free.

  • If the arrangement is double-word, the block size is constantly a multiple of “8” and the low-order bits of the block size are always zero.
  • Thus, essential to store only the high-order “29 bits” of the block size, freeing the remaining “3 bits” to encrypt other information.
  • Here, smallest significant bits is using to represent the block is allocated or free.

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
