Suppose that a computer can read or write a memory word in 5 nsec. Also suppose that when an interrupt occurs, all 32 CPU regist

ers, plus the program counter and PSW are pushed onto the stack. What is the maximum number of interrupts per second this machine can process?

Answer:

<em>2,941,176 interrupts per second</em>

Explanation:

Given that:

<em>The number of words = </em>1 PSW (program status word) + 1 program counter + 32

                                        CPU registers  

                                     = 34

<em>The time taken to R/W  a memory word = 5 nano seconds </em>

Prior to the interrupt, 34 words are needed to be pushed into the stack, and 34 words are needed to pop out of the stack after the interrupt is handled.

Therefore, in total 68 words are needed during the Read and Write execution.

To calculate the number of interrupts handled by the machine, we have to first establish the time required to read and write 68 words:

= 68 x 5nsec

= 340nsec

= 340 x 10^{-9} sec (converting it to seconds)

maximum number of interrupts = \frac{1,000, 000,000}{340} = 2,491,176 interrupts.

Describe a real or made up but possible example of a product that went through a time of scarcity. What was likely to happen to
NeX [460]

Last 2012, there was a virus which infected millions of chicken. It was known as Avian influenza or bird flu. It resulted to scarcity of eggs. As the law of supply and demand states, there is an effect on the price of a product depending on its availability. If there is a low supply and a high demand, there is an increase in price and vice versa.

An assembly line is an example of which of the following facility layouts?
ikadub [295]

Answer:

Product layout

Explanation:

In configuration of facilities, the four layouts used are the process, product, cellular and fixed-position layouts.In process layout, operations that have similar functions are placed together. Example is a machine shop in manufacturing scenario.Product layouts are applied where there is repetitive assembly and processes.For example in flow shops where large volume of products are produced in a short time. Products that are very large or too heavy use fixed position layouts.Example is ship building or dam construction which require on-spot job performing.Cellular layouts is an equipment layout that will ease the process of cellular manufacturing.For example in group technology, parts of similar designed are identified to be grouped with processes that have similar characteristics to avoid re-arranging of layouts.

The fundamental difference between a switch and a router is that a switch belongs only to its local network and a router belongs
Alla [95]

Answer:

The answer is True

Explanation:

Switches are responsible for connecting computers within a network and it belongs only to its local network. Its responsibility is to filter and forward packets between LAN segments. They operate on layer two (2) and sometime layer three (3) of the OSI Model.

Routers on the other hand, are responsible for the interconnections of two or more networks. They forward data packets between networks. They reside at gateways, exactly where two or more networks connects. And they use communication protocols to effectively and efficiently communicate among two or more host.

Construct a class that will model a quadratic expression (ax^2 + bx + c). In addition to a constructor creating a quadratic expr
stich3 [128]

Answer:

Following are the code to this question:

#include <iostream>//header file

#include<math.h>//header file

using namespace std;

class Quadratic//defining a class Quadratic  

{

private:

double a,b,c;//defining a double variable

public:

Quadratic()//defining default constructor

{

a = 0;//assigning value 0  

b = 0;//assigning value 0  

c = 0;//assigning value 0  

}

Quadratic(double a, double b, double c)//defining a parameterized constructor  

{

this->a = a;//use this keyword to hold value in a variable

this->b = b;//use this keyword to hold value in b variable

this->c = c;//use this keyword to hold value in c variable

}

double getA() //defining a get method  

{

return a;//return value a

}

void setA(double a)//defining a set method to hold value in parameter

{

this->a = a;//assigning value in a variable

}

double getB() //defining a get method  

{

return b;//return value b

}

void setB(double b)//defining a set method to hold value in parameter  

{

this->b = b;//assigning value in b variable

}

double getC() //defining a get method

{

return c;//return value c

}

void setC(double c)//defining a set method to hold value in parameter

{

this->c = c;//assigning value in c variable

}

double Evaluate(double x)//defining a method Evaluate to hold value in parameter

{

return ((a*x*x)+(b*x)+c);//return evaluated value

}

double numberOfReal()//defining a method numberOfReal to calculates the real roots

{

return (b*b)-(4*a*c);//return real roots

}

void findroots()//defining a method findroots

{

double d=numberOfReal();//defining double variable to hold numberOfReal method value

if(d<0)//use if block to check value of d less than 0

cout<<"Equation has no real roots"<<endl;//print message

else

{

double r1=(-b+sqrt(numberOfReal()))/(2*a);//holding root value r1

double r2=(-b-sqrt(numberOfReal()))/(2*a);//holding root value r2

if(r1==r2)//defining if block to check r1 equal to r2

cout<<"Equation has one real root that is "<<r1<<endl;//print message with value

else//else block

cout<<"The equation has two real roots that are "<<r1<<" and "<<r2<<endl;////print message with value

}

}

void print()//defining a method print  

{

cout<< a << "x^2 + " << b << "x + " << c <<endl;//print Quadratic equation

}

};

int main()//defining main method  

{

Quadratic q(5,6,1);//creating Quadratic class object that calls parameterized constructor

q.print();//calling print method

cout<<q.numberOfReal()<<endl;//calling method numberOfReal that prints its value

q.findroots();//calling method findroots

cout<<q.Evaluate(-1);//calling method Evaluate that prints its value

return 0;

}

Output:

5x^2 + 6x + 1

16

The equation has two real roots that are -0.2 and -1

0

Explanation:

In the above code, a class "Quadratic" is declared, which is used to define a default and parameter constructor to holds its parameter value.

In the next step, the get and set method is defined that holds and returns the quadratic value, and "Evaluate, numberOfReal, findroots, and print" in the evaluate method a double variable is used as a parameter that returns evaluated value.

In the "numberOfReal" method it calculates the real roots and returns its value. In the "findroots" method a double variable "d" is declared that hold "numberOfReal" value,

and use a conditional statement to check its value, and in the print method, it prints the quadratic equation.

In the main method, the lass object it calls the parameterized constructor and other methods.
