Q. Consider a system with five processes P0 through P4 and three resource types R1, R2 and R3. Resource type R1 has 10 instances, R2 has 5 instances and R3 has 7 instances. Suppose that at time T0, the following snapshot of the system has been taken :

Allocation R1 R2 R3 P0 0 1 0 P1 2 0 0 P2 3 0 2 P3 2 1 1 P4 0 2 2
Max R1 R2 R3 7 5 3 3 2 2 9 0 2 2 2 2 4 3 3

Q. The hit ratio of a Translation Look Aside Buffer (TLAB) is 80%. It takes 20 nanoseconds (ns) to search TLAB and 100 ns to access main memory. The effective memory access time is ................

Q. Consider the input/output (I/O) requests made at different instants of time directed at a hypothetical disk having 200 tracks as given in the following table.

Assume that:
Current head position is at track no. 65
Direction of last movement is towards higher numbered tracks
Current clock time is 160 milliseconds
Head movement time per track is 1 millisecond.

“look” is a variant of “SCAN” disk-arm scheduling algorithm. In this algorithm, if no more I/O requests are left in current direction, the disk head reverses its direction. The seek times in Shortest Seek First (SSF) and “look” disk-arm scheduling algorithms respectively are:
