A disk rotates at a rate of 7200 revolutions per minute. Seek operations (i.e., moving the access head to a desired track) take

on average 20 milli-seconds. Once the access head is on the appropriate track, it takes an average of one half revolution of the disk to get to the beginning of a requested sector. Each track contains 128 sectors and each sector contains 512 bytes of data. How long on average does it take to get the access head to the beginning of a randomly selected sector on a randomly selected track? Express your answer in micro-seconds (not seconds or milli-seconds).

Answer:

24.167 micro seconds.

Explanation:

The given rotation rate = 7200 rpm = 7200 rounds per minute

Rotational latency is the average time taken for the head to reach starting of sector .

Rotational latency (in micro seconds) = (1 / (RPM / 60)) * 0.5 * 1000

(1/(7200/60))* 0.5 * 1000 = 4.167 ms

Thus, rotational latency = 4.167 ms.

Seek time = 20 ms

The average time taken for the access head to get to the beginning of randomly selected sector will be equal to the average time to first reach the random track plus the average time taken to reach random sector .

= 20 ms + 4.167  ms  = 24.167 micro seconds.

Thus, it would take 24.167 micro seconds to get the access head to the beginning of a randomly selected sector on a randomly selected track.

Discuss the differences between a quantitative and qualitative risk analysis. Please write two paragraphs.
Burka [1]

Answer:We start each project to get some business benefits. We design it to achieve users and other stakeholder’s satisfaction. And we build it to improve organization KPIs. But, we live in a world where the project faces many uncertainties. These uncertainties or risks can prevent from achieving our project goals or objectives. So, it is critical that we identify them in time to take care of their effective responses.

The more we know our risks, the more we can evaluate and prioritize them timely for:

Reducing their probable negative impacts, or

Increase their likely positive impacts

We can use Qualitative Risk Analysis and Quantitative Risk Analysis techniques to evaluate and prioritize risks. I see there are a lot of confusions around how these two techniques are different from each other.  In this blog, I will address these confusions and differences between these two techniques.

Before we get into the difference between qualitative and quantitative risk analysis/assessment, it is mandatory to understand how we perform risk analysis in projects.  Below is the summarized demonstration of the risk analysis:

Explain the main functions of the CPU.
bixtya [17]
The CPU performs basic arithmetic, logic, controlling, and input/output (I/O) operations specified by the instructions in the program. This contrasts with external components such as main memory and I/O circuitry, and specialized processors such as graphics processing units (GPUs).
