Semiconductor memory is used mainly for primary storage even with its high cost. In another hand, the magnetic tape is the cheap

est storage media and it is commonly preferred only as backup storage! Use your own words to discuss how the storage cost, speed and capacity trade-offs can affect the choice of storage media.

<span>Storage costs are a big factor in choosing the type of storage media, especially for larger projects and firms. Tasks that require large backups tend to move to magnetic (tape) memory because of the relatively low cost and high overall storage capacity. However, when working with projects that require faster memory and access that is instantaneous, chip memory, even at the higher cost, is more preferable since it is always accessible.</span>

Most types of semiconductor memory have the property of random access,which means that it takes the same amount of time to access any memory location. This means that data can efficiently be accessed in any random order.This contrasts with data storage media such as hard disks and CDs which read and write data consecutively therefore, explains why the data can only be accessed in the same sequence it was written.

Semiconductor memory also has much faster access times than other types of data storage; a byte of data can be written to or read from semiconductor memory within a few nanoseconds, while access time for rotating storage such as hard disks is in the range of milliseconds. For these reasons it is used for main computer memory (primary storage), to hold data the computer is currently working on, among other uses.

Storage costs are a big factor in choosing the type of storage media, especially for larger projects and firms. Tasks that require large backups tend to move to magnetic (tape) memory because of the relatively low cost and high overall storage capacity. However, when working with projects that require faster memory and access that is instantaneous, chip memory, even at a higher cost, is more preferable since it is always accessible.

A company operates on two types of servers: 2 large servers (L) and 4 smaller servers (S), with a combined total of 64GB RAM. Th
kati45 [8]

Explanation:

Let the size of a large server be L, and

the size of a small server be S.

We are given two scenarios,

2L+4S = 64.............(1)

and

L+3S = 40...............(2)

We solve the equations as follows

2(2)-(1)

2L-2L +6S-4S = 2*40-64

2S = 16

so S=8 ..................(3), size of small server

substitute (3) in (2)

L+3(8) =40

L = 40-24 = 16..............size of large server

How is the “conflict set” defined in Production systems?How conflict is resolved ?
Triss [41]

Answer:

The rules which could trigger at any period in time are referred to as the conflict set. A programming bug/conflict can occur when two programs compete for the same resource such as memory or register etc.

A Conflict Resolution Strategy is is a protocol which highlights which decision will be triggered first.

The best way to resolve conflict is to first determine the kind of conflict it is. Hardware conflicts can be resolved by first troubleshooting the hardware and in some instances unplugging the hardware causing the conflict.

When hardware creates conflicts it may be due to a driver issue. reverting to an old driver or updating the existing one may solve the problem.

Software conflicts can be resolved by installing updates or complete uninstallation.

Cheers!
