Consider a disk with block size B = 512 bytes. A block pointer is P = 6 bytes long, and a record pointer is PR = 7 bytes long. A file has r = 30,000 EMPLOYEE records of fixed length. Each record has the following fields: Name (30 bytes),Ssn (9 bytes), Department_code (9 bytes), Address (40 bytes), Phone (10 bytes), Birth_date (8 bytes), Sex (1 byte), Job_code (4 bytes), and Salary (4 bytes, real number). An additional byte is used as a deletion marker.

Suppose that the file is not ordered by the key field Ssn and we want to construct a B+-tree access structure (index) on Ssn. Calculate (i) the orders p and pleaf of the B+-tree; (ii) the number of leaf-level blocks needed if blocks are approximately 69% full (rounded up for convenience); (iii) the number of levels needed if internal nodes are also 69% full (rounded up for convenience); (iv) the total number of blocks required by the B+-tree; and (v) the number of block accesses needed to search for and retrieve a record from the file—given its Ssn value—using the B+-tree.

Assume a computer with a cache that holds 64 bytes and has a block size of 32 bytes. Direct address mapping is used and from the beginning the cache is empty. The following program sequence is executed: for (col = 0; col < 2; col++) { for (row = 0; row < 4; row++) A[row][col] = B[row] * C[col]; } Assume that for the variables row and col registers are used. The matrix A consists of 4 rows and 4...

Ethernet (10Mbps) frames must be at least 64 bytes (512 bits) long to ensure that the transmitter is still going in the event of a collision at the far end of the cable. Fast Ethernet (100Mbps) has the same 64-byte minimum frame size but can get the bits out ten times faster. How is it possible to maintain the same minimum frame size?

Consider a 4-way set-associative cache, 4 rows, a line size of 128 bytes and a write-back policy. The following requests are made to memory: Load: 0b0011111001000101 Load: 0b1000111110110100 Load: 0b0110101111110100 Store: 0b0010110000000110 Store: 0b1111001001110101 Store: 0b1110000111000001 Load: 0b0000000010100110 Load: 0b0101001001001101 Assuming the machine is in cold-start, profile the contents to the cache after all of the requests have been made. State any assumption you make (if needed).

A 0.78-kg block and a 0.56-kg block sits on a rotating disk. They are connecting by a 12-cm long string. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the block and disk are µs = 0.87 and µk = 0.63, respectively. The cart is on wheels and moves frictionless. The distances of the block and the cart from the center of disk are 0.23 m and 0.35 m, respectively. The block and cart are sitting (i.e., are not moving) relative...
