Q81.
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:
Discuss
Answer: (b).143 and 123 milliseconds
Q82.
A system contains 10 units of resource of same type. The resource requirement and current allocation of these resources for three processes P, Q and R are given below.Consider the following resource requests :

(i) P makes a request for 2 resource units.
(ii) Q makes request for 2 resources units.
(iii) R makes a request of 2 resource units.

For a safe state, which of the following options must be satisfied ?
Discuss
Answer: (c).Only request (iii)
Q83.
Consider the following set of processes with the length of CPU burst time in milliseconds (ms).Assume that processes are stored in ready queue in following order :

Answer: (a).8.4 ms
Q84.
Consider a main memory with 3 page frames for the following page reference string :

5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 4, 3, 5, 4, 3, 4, 1, 4

Assuming that the execution of process is initiated after loading page 5 in memory, the number of page faults in FIFO and second chance replacement respectively are
Discuss
Answer: (d).9 and 8
Q85.
A virtual memory based memory management algorithm partially swaps out a process. This is an example of
Discuss
Answer: (c).medium term scheduling
Q86.
Assuming that the disk head is located initially at 32, find the number of disk moves required with FCFS if the disk queue of I/O block requests are 98, 37, 14, 124, 65, 67:
Discuss
Answer: (d).321
Q87.
Let the page fault service time be 10 millisecond(ms) in a computer with average memory access time being 20 nanosecond(ns). If one page fault is generated for every 106 memory accesses, what is the effective access time for memory?
Discuss
Answer: (c).30 ns
Q88.
Match the following:

a. RAID 0          i. Bit interleaved parity
b. RAID 1          ii. Non redundant stripping
c. RAID 2           iii. Mirrored disks
d. RAID 3          iv. Error correcting codes

Codes:
      a   b   c    d
Discuss
Answer: (d).None of the above
Q89.
Consider the following processes with time slice of 4 milliseconds (I/O requests are ignored):

Process               A         B         C         D
Arrival time        0          1          2          3
CPU cycle         8          4          9          5

The average turn around time of these processes will be
Discuss
Answer: (b).18.25 milliseconds
