Assessment Title

Assignment one - Introduction to operating systems, Memory and process management

Purpose of the assessment (with ULO Mapping)


width="528">

The purpose of this assignment is to report on some important characteristics of Operating Systems and explain their functions.  Students must answer Multiple Answer questions about OS operation, and report on selected OS aspects and algorithms such as virtual memory, process scheduling and mobile operating systems. After successful completion of this assignment, students should be able to:

  1. Report on the basics, and provide examples, of operating systems structure and functionality, including memory allocation virtual memory, demand paging and process and device management.
  2. Describe the integration of hardware, operating systems and application software.

Memory Allocation

 

 

 

B-Q1a

6 marks

 

 

 

Memory allocation is the process of assigning blocks of memory spaces to processes competing for memory; two of the well-known



policies are Best fit and First fit. Using examples, explain each of the policies in your own words (use your own example – do not use the example from the lecture slides). The word limit is 300 words (excluding figures/diagrams).

 You must provide references and cite the sources if you consult any external source for this task.

 

 

 

 

 

 

B-Q1b

4 marks

 

 

Worst-fit is an allocation algorithm that allocates the largest free block to a new job. It is the opposite of the best-fit algorithm. Compare it to best-fit conditions for the example that you have given in



the answer for B-Q1a and explain in your own words what advantages the worst-fit algorithm could offer (Word limit:  200 words).

Process Management and Scheduling

 


align="left">

B-Q3a

20 marks

 

 

In a multiprogramming environment, scheduling algorithms are used for better utilisation of processor resources, maximising the system performance and to achieve fairness among difference processes. There are a number of scheduling algorithms that could be used in a multiprogramming environment, such as:

  1. FCFS
  2. SJN
  3. SRT
  4. Round Robin

 

Given the following arrival time and CPU cycle times:

(i)                  Draw a timeline for each of the above scheduling algorithms and explain the timeline in your own words.  (3x4=12 marks)

(ii)                Show the details of the ready queue formation during the time line.  



                                         (2x4=8 marks)

 

For  Round Robin use time quantum of 3.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

B-Q3b

10 marks

 

 

Using either internet resources or books, understand the concept of waiting time and turnaround time.  Define those terms (waiting time and turnaround



time) in your own words. Then calculate turnaround time for every job for all four scheduling algorithms mentioned in B-Q3-a (Details of the calculations is essential).

You must provide references and cite the sources that you consulted for this task.
