Consider a file currently consisting of 200 blocks. Assume that the file control block (and the index block, in the case of indexed allocation) is already in memory. Calculate how many disk I/O operations are required for contiguous, linked, and indexed (single-level) allocation strategies, if the following conditions hold. In the contiguous allocation case, assume that there is no room to grow in the beginning, but there is room to grow in the end. Assume that the block information to be added is stored in memory. For linked allocation, there is a tail pointer pointing to the last node.

  1. The block is added at the beginning
  2. The block is added at the end
  3. The block is removed from the beginning
  4. The block is removed from the end

More Assumptions:

  • Read one whole block = one I/O operation

  • Write one whole block = one I/O operation

  • For linked allocation, a file allocation table (FAT) is not used, i.e., only the address of the starting block is in memory

  • All preparation of a block (including putting in the data and any link value) is done in main memory and then the block is written to disk with one write operation

  • The file control block does not have to be written to disk after a change (this is typical where many operations are performed on a file)

  • At most one index block is required per file and it does not have to be written to disk after a change.

  • For contiguous, linked and indexed allocations, assume that no I/O operations are necessary to add a freed block to the free list

Note that while calculating the total number of I/O operations for each, also indicate how many came from r(read) and w(write).

A company reports accounting data in its financial statements. This data is used for financial analyses that provide insights into a company’s strengths, weaknesses, performance in specific areas, and trends in performance.

A company reports accounting data in its financial statements. This data is used for financial analyses that provide insights into a company’s strengths, weaknesses, performance in specific areas, and trends in performance. These analyses are often used to compare a company’s performance to that of its competitors or to its past or expected future performance. Such insight helps managers and analysts improve their decision making.

Consider the following scenario:

You work as an analyst at a credit-rating agency, and you are comparing firms in the construction and engineering sector. One company in the portfolio of companies you are analyzing is a Chinese firm. This firm stands out in the ratio analysis, because the company’s financial ratios are substantially lower than identical financial ratios of the other firms in the sector. You do not dissect the results of the ratio analysis and report this firm as an under-performing company.

Which of the following statements about your analysis report is true?


The analysis likely includes incorrect and misleading conclusions.

The ratios provide an accurate and thorough representation of the Chinese company’s performance.

Write a C or C++ program A6p2.c(pp) that accepts one command line argument which is an integer n between 2 and 4 inclusive. Generate 60 random integers between 1 and 49 inclusive and store them in a 5 by 12 two dimensional integer array (e.g.,int a[5][12];). Use pthread to create n threads to square all 60 array elements. You should divide this update task among the n threads as evenly as possible. Print the array both before and after the update separately as 5 by 12 matrices.

Note: Must use pthread to divide the update task among the threads.

In what month does the stock exceed twice the price per share on Jan 1, 2015?

 One share of Global Core Development Systems, Ine [an imaginary company with the abbreviation: Go-CDS] stock was priced at $32.50 on January 1, 2015. Your tasking in this problem is to determine how long does it take for a stockholder to double their money who has invested in Go-CDS? In other words, how long until the price per share has doubled.

 Here are some facts about Go-CDS:

 Very stable company with a proven track record of manufacturing.

 The normal growth of Go-CDS's stock has averaged a monthly growth rate of 0.1% in the share price. (This means that the price per share goes up by 0.1% each month over the last month's price.)

 Beginning in March 2015, each time Go-CDS releases a quarterly report (on the 15 of the months of March, June, September and December each year), the stock share price increased immediately by 4.5% due to the continuing, favorable outlook for Go-CDS's products in the marketplace. Due to a merger with another manufacturing company in the 17 month after 1/1/2015, the monthly growth rate increased to 1.15% until the end of THAT calendar year (after the 24 month). Beginning with month 25, the monthly growth rate increased to 1.25% per month. Unfortunately, due to a bad set of business decisions in 2018, the Board fired the CEO which instantly cut the share price on Oct 5, 2018 by S15.00 (the 34 month). A new CEO was immediately hired on Oct 10, 2018.

 The company growth rate reset to 1.05% per month after the new CEO was hired due to bad press.


 Problem: Write a MATLAB program to solve the following questions:

 Question 1: In what month does the stock exceed twice the price per share on Jan 1, 2015?

 Question 2: Prepare a plot of the stock's per-month price movement over the course of ONLY the years 2017 until the price has doubled ONLY (which is from months 25 until the answer to Question #1). You will need to adjust the plot routine to ONLY show these months. To limit the plot to these months, add the following command:

 axis ([25,49,50,701)

 This command sets the x-axis range to "25-48" and the y-axis range to “50-70"

 ALSO, add the following command to put a note on your plot:

 text (40, 52, 'Note: Price as of 1st of the month')

 This command adds text at coordinate: (40 months and $52)
