Below are listed parameters for different direct-mapped cache designs.

Cache Data Size: 32 KiB

Cache Block Size: 2 words

Cache Access Time: 1 cycle

Word: 4 bytes.

Calculate the total number of bits required for the cache listed above, assuming a 32-bit address. Given that total size, find the total size of the closest direct-mapped cache with 16-word blocks of equal size or greater. Explain why the second cache, despite its larger data size, might provide slower performance than the first cache.

Question 3(a)
In less than 400 words (indicate word count), examine two (2) out of the four (4)relevant hardball tactics in the distributive bargaining process which involves a typical property negotiation between a seller and a buyer. Support your answer with example(s).

(b) In less than 350 words (indicate word count), appraise how cultural differences arising from different nationalities of the property seller and a potential buyer can affect a typical property negotiation. Justify with a negotiating model on culture in the given example between the buyer and seller.

For each of the following sentences, fill in the blanks with the best word or phrase selected from the list below. Not all words or phrases will be used; each word or phrase should be used only once.

It takes 1 nanosecond (1 x 10-9 s) to move a word from L1 cache to the registers and 10 nanoseconds to move a word from L2 cache to the registers. Assuming that all of the words that are not in L1 cache are in L2 cache, what is the percentage reduction in the time it takes to get the 24,000 words of data into the registers if the hit rate is increased from 95% to 97%? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent. Hint: Start by calculating the time to load the words available from L1 cache plus the time to load those from L2 cache, for each hit rate.

Q90 A computer firm must send a group of three specialists to give a technical presentation to a potential customer. Five such individuals are anxious to attend, but only two are considered to have strong interpersonal skills. Since the specialists have equal levels of seniority, they have agreed to place their names in a hat and allow management to randomly select the three to attend the presentation. What is the probability that there will be at least one person with strong interpersonal skills among the group that is sent? [1 Mark]

DO NOT WRITE THE ANSWER - USE WORD FORMAT. IF THE ANSWER IS HANDWRITTEN, A POOR RATING WILL BE GIVEN. THE ANSWER NEEDS TO BE IN WORD FORMAT.

Develop code in a Scala Maven project to monitor a folder in HDFS in real time such that any new file in the folder will be processed. For each RDD in the stream, the following subtasks are performed concurrently:

(a) Count the word frequency and save the output in HDFS.Note, for each word, make sure space (" "), comma (","), semicolon (";"), colon (":"), period ("."), apostrophe (“’”), quotation marks (“””), exclamation (“!”), question mark (“?”), and brackets ("[", “{”, “(”, “<”,"]", “)”, “}”,”>” ) are trimmed.

(b) Filter out the short words (i.e., < 5 characters) and save the output in HDFS.

(c) Count the co-occurrence of words in each RDD where the context is the same line; and save the output in HDFS.

The following data represents number of pictures an individual has posted on Facebook (X) and their level of narcissism(Y) as measured on a 10-point scale, 10 being highest.

You are a network administrator in a medium-sized company. The owner has heard of using RIP and OSPF on the routers and that it will help your network. He isn't very computer savvy, so he wants you to explain it to him and tell him what to use and how you are going to implement it. Write a memo using standard memo format that outlines this for your company's owner using either a Microsoft Word Memo template or another example, including diagrams if necessary. You can use any drawing software (Visio, PowerPoint, Word, etc.) to create the diagram.
