A multiprocessor with 10 processors has 36 attached tape drives. A number of jobs have been submitted to the system where each j

ob requires a maximum of 6 drives in order to complete execution. Assume that each job starts running with only 4 drives for a long period before requiring the other 2 drives for a short period toward the end of its operation. Also assume an endless supply of those jobs
Assume the scheduler in the operating system will not start a job unless there are 6
tape drives available. When a job is started, 6 drives are assigned immediately and
are not released until the job finishes.
1 What is the maximum number of jobs that can be in progress at once?
2 What is the maximum number of tape drives that may be left idle as a result of
this policy?
3 What is the minimum number of tape drives that may be left idle as a result of
this policy?

The maximum number of tape drivers that are required by each job in the multiprocessor is 6.

<h3>How to illustrate the information?</h3>

It is given that a job will be performed in parallel with 4 tape drivers and laterin series with remaining 2 tape drivers. The maximum number of jobs that cab be progress simultaneously will be:

= total number of tape drivers / number of tape drivers assigned for each job.

Maximum number of jobs that cab be progress simultaneously = 36 / 6 = 6

Each process run with 4 tape drivers parallel and remaining 2 tape drivers is used at the last. Therefore, most of the time the 4 tape drivers are used and the remaining 2 tape drivers is left idle.

The maximum number of tape drivers kept idle = last tape drive in each of the processes running.

There are 6 processes running so, the maximum number of processes left idle is 6.

When each process makes use of all the tape drivers, and then there will not be any idle state for the tape drivers. Therefore, the minimum number of tape drivers kept idle is 0.

Design a generic post-implementation evaluation form. The form should consist of questions that you could use to evaluate any in
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

Project Identification

Provide the identifying information associated with the project, including the applicable project control code, system acronym, and system title.

System Proponent

Provide the name of the System Proponent.

History of the System

Briefly describe the system’s history and predecessor, if any.  State the mission needs and information requirements, including how the system is expected to help users.

Functional System Description and Data Usage

Briefly describe what the system does functionally and how the data are used by the system.

Explanation:

Overview

The Post-Implementation Review is used to evaluate the effectiveness of the system development after the system has been in production for a period of time (normally 6 months).  The objectives are to determine if the system does what it is designed to do: Does it support the user as required in an effective and efficient manner? The review should assess how successful the system is in terms of functionality, performance, and cost versus benefits, as well as assess the effectiveness of the life-cycle development activities that produced the system.  The review results can be used to strengthen the system as well as system development procedures.

The review is scheduled to follow the release of a system or system revision by an appropriate amount of time to allow determination of the effectiveness of the system.  A representative from the functional development group or other member of the major user organization participates in the review.  The System Proponent ensures that all documentation and all personnel needed to participate in the review are accessible.

The reviewer and an assigned team collect the information needed for the Post-Implementation Review by interviewing end users and their managers, system administrators, and computer operations personnel.  The report is then prepared and provided to the user organization that requested it and the information systems organization, which may jointly use the findings to initiate other actions.

The Post-Implementation Review is a free-form report, and not all sections are relevant or necessary to the final product.  A description of the Post-Implementation Review Report is attached.

Read one positive integer n. Then create an n X n two-dimensional array and write the code that stores integers from 1 to n2 as
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

The program in Java is as follows:

import java.util.*;

public class Main{

public static void main(String[] args) {

    int n;

    Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

 System.out.print("Size of array: ");

 n = input.nextInt();

 int count = 1;

 int[][] arr = new int[n][n];

 for(int i = 0; i<n;i++){

     for(int j = 0; j<n;j++){

         arr[i][j] = count;

         count++;      }  }

 for(int i = 0; i<n;i++){

     for(int j = 0; j<n; j++){

         System.out.printf(arr[i][j]+" ");      }

     System.out.println();  } }}

Explanation:

This declares the size of the array

    int n;

    Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

This prompts the user for size of array

 System.out.print("Size of array: ");

This gets input for size of array

 n = input.nextInt();

This initializes the array element to 1

 int count = 1;

This creates a 2d array

 int[][] arr = new int[n][n];

This iterates through the rows

 for(int i = 0; i<n;i++){

This iterates through the columns

     for(int j = 0; j<n;j++){

This populates the array

         arr[i][j] = count;

         count++;      }  }

The following nested loop prints the array elements

 for(int i = 0; i<n;i++){

     for(int j = 0; j<n; j++){

         System.out.printf(arr[i][j]+" ");      }

     System.out.println();  } }}
