    Several methods have been devised that increase the effectiveness of memory management. Virtual memory systems separate the memory addresses used by a process from actual physical addresses, allowing separation of processes and increasing the effectively available amount of RAM using paging or swapping to secondary storage. The quality of the virtual memory manager can have an extensive effect on overall system performanc…

    1. Consider a 32-bit machine with 128 MB of physical memory, that uses virtual memory and demand paging for memory management. If the page size is 4 KB, answer the following questions. (Note: For ease of calculation, you can assume 1K=1000, 1M=1000K, etc.) (a) (3 pts) How many physical frames are there in the system? Ans: 128M = 32K 4K (b) (3 pts) What is the maximum number of pages that a process can have in its virtual address space? Ans: The amount of virtual address space addressable by each process = 232 = 4GB. Therefore, maximum number of pages = 4G = 1M 4K (c) (12 pts) Suppose the page table for a process P contains the following entries. Page No. 3 2 1 0 Frame No. 1 3 4 7…

    Disk Head Simulator Case Study

    Secondary storage is a very significant component of a computer’s operating environment. It provides an important large storage space that can permanently hold systems software and any other desired user data. Secondary storage can also be utilized as a backup to ensure that the computer system is reliable and that data carried is safe. In addition, secondary storage also known as the Disk system supports the operations of the main memory. Therefore, we can say that the optimal performance of the disk is crucial since it affects the overall operation of the system (Silberschatz, Galvin and Gagne). To be able to read or write a sector of the disk, the disk arm needs to first and foremost search for…

    File Management

    File management in any computer system is a very crucial function. Proper file management alleviates everyday issues in file protection, to allow a smooth experience for users. Using file protection for operating systems, such as Unix, can be very easy and simple. Unix is a multiuser operating system that is used on a wide range of machines from powerful microcomputers to supercomputers (Stallings, 2012). In Unix, permissions are configured to allow owner(s) to define different permissions of files by restricting or permitting access where needed. These permissions are set to categories of owner, group, and other permissions. In early versions of file control and access for Unix, users where assigned a user identification number. These users also were members of groups and a group identification number identified each group. Now when a file is created by a user, not only is the file owned by a specific owner, but by the owners primary group as well. Attached to files are protection bits, where read, write, and execute permissions are specified and carried down to other users of the group/groups the owner belongs to. Anyone can see the issue that lies in this type of file access control. What happens when the owner desires only specific users or no users at all to have access to the created file?…
