Suppose a computer can execute 1 billion instructions/sec and that a system call takes 1000 instructions, including the trap and

context switching. How many system calls can the computer execute per second and still have half the CPU capacity for running application code?

Answer:

System calls = 500000

Explanation:

Instructions that a computer can execute = 1 billion instructions/sec

Instructions that a system call takes including the trap and context switching = 1000 instructions

When half of the CPU time is on application, n system calls can be executed in 1 second.

Therefore we'll get an equation as following.

1000 * n = 0.5 * 1000000000

n = 0.5 * 1000000000 / 1000

n = 500000

System calls = 500000

In JAVA please:
blagie [28]

Answer:

import java.util.Scanner;

public class ArraysKeyValue {

public static void main (String [] args) {

final int SIZE_LIST = 4;

int[] keysList = new int[SIZE_LIST];

int[] itemsList = new int[SIZE_LIST];

int i;

keysList[0] = 13;

keysList[1] = 47;

keysList[2] = 71;

keysList[3] = 59;

itemsList[0] = 12;

itemsList[1] = 36;

itemsList[2] = 72;

itemsList[3] = 54;  

/* Your solution goes here */

for ( i = 0; i < SIZE_LIST; i++){

 if (keysList[i]>50){

  System.out.println(itemsList[i] + " ");  }  }

System.out.println("");

}

}

Explanation:

I will explain the whole program flow.

  • There are two arrays here
  • keysList and itemsList
  • The first list (keysList) contains the following elements:

13 element at first position of the array (0th index)

47 element at second  position of the array (1st index)

71 element at third position of the array (2nd index)

59 element at fourth position of the array (3rd index)

  • The other list (itemsList) contains the following elements:

12 element at first position of the array (0th index)

36 element at second  position of the array (1st index)

72 element at third position of the array (2nd index)

54 element at fourth position of the array (3rd index)

  • The size of the array elements is fixed which is 4 and is stored in the variable SIZE_LIST.
  • Then the loop starts. The loop contains a variable i which is initialized to 0. First it checks if the value of i is less than the size of the list. It is true as SIZE_LIST=4 and i=0.
  • So the program control enters the body of the loop.
  • In first iteration, IF condition checks if the i-th element of the keysList is greater than 50. As i=0 So the element at 0th index of the keysList is 13 which is not greater than 50 so the body of IF statement will not execute as the condition evaluates to false. The value of i increments by 1 so now i becomes 1.
  • In next iteration loop again checks if the value of i is less than the size of the list which is true again so the body of the loop executes.
  • IF condition checks if the i-th element of the keysList is greater than 50. As i=1 So the element at 1st index of the keysList is 47 which is not greater than 50 so the body of IF statement will not execute as the condition evaluates to false. The value of i is incremented by 1 so now i becomes 2.
  • In next iteration loop again checks if the value of i is less than the size of the list which is true again as i= 2 which is less than SIZE_LIST so the body of the loop executes.
  • IF condition checks if the i-th element of the keysList is greater than 50. As i=2 So the element at 2nd index of the keysList is 71 which is greater than 50 so the body of IF statement is executed as the condition evaluates to true. So in the body of the IF statement there is a print statement which prints the i-th element of the itemsList. As i = 2 so the value at the index 2 of the itemsList is displayed in the output which is 72. Next value of i is incremented by 1 so now i becomes 3.
  • In next iteration loop again checks if the value of i is less than the size of the list which is true again as i= 3 which is less than SIZE_LIST so the body of the loop executes.
  • IF condition checks if the i-th element of the keysList is greater than 50. As i=3 So the element at 3rd index of the keysList is 59 which is greater than 50 so the body of IF statement is executed as the condition evaluates to true. So in the body of the IF statement there is a print statement which prints the i-th element of the itemsList. As i = 3 so the value at the index 3 of the itemsList is displayed in the output which is 54. Next value of i is incremented by 1 so now i becomes 4.
  • In next iteration loop again checks if the value of i is less than the size of the list which is now false as i=4 which is equal to the SIZE_LIST= 4. So the loop breaks.
  • So the output of the above program is:

72

54
