BN104 Operating Systems: Memory and Process Management Analysis

This assignment provides an overview of operating systems, particularly focusing on memory and process management. It addresses key concepts such as memory allocation, virtual memory, and process scheduling algorithms like FCFS, SJN, SRT, and Round Robin. The report includes calculations of average wait time and turnaround time for each scheduling algorithm. It also discusses the advantages and disadvantages of memory compaction and reallocation. The document concludes with a bibliography referencing relevant research on operating systems. Desklib offers a platform to access this and similar solved assignments for students.

Answer to question number B-Q1
Answer a
The address at the start of frame 1 is page 1 and the address at the end of frame 1 is
page 4.
Answer b
Yes, page 2 is mapped to frame 2.
No, page 3 is not mapped to frame 3.
Answer c
The pages which have not yet been loaded into the memory are pages 3,6,7.
Answer d
When the process A refers to an address in page 3, the paging system at first traverses
to the page 3 and looks for the address in the page. After the page is found the logical address
in the page is obtained and the corresponding address to the physical memory is also
identified. The data is then fetched from the physical address in the machine.
Answer e
Logical address

Answer to question number B-Q2a
The process of memory compaction and reallocation is to be done as frequent as
possible. The major advantages of process are that it makes a number of memory available to

the users and the available blocks are reallocated together so that the memory can be made
useful. The main disadvantage to this that the more number compaction takes place with the
increase in waiting time for the other processes. With the increase in the number of
compaction the over heading processes keeps increasing and in case where the priority of a
process is more the processor would be spending a large amount time on compaction rather
than actually processing the jobs.

OPERATING SYSTEMS
Waiting time – The waiting time is regarded as the time that is required for the processors to
ready a process for running but transferring it to the running state.
Turnaround time – The turnaround time is the total time taken for the submission of the
programs or the process required for execution and the returning the output value to the users
in the system.
FCFS
Process Burst Time Arrival Time Service Time
A 13 0 0
B 6 1 13
C 3 3 19
D 12 7 22
E 2 9 32
Average wait time – (0 + 12 + 16 + 15 + 23) = 66/5 = 13.2
Turnaround time – (13 + 18 + 19 + 27 + 25) = 102/5 = 20.4
SJN

Average wait time – (11+0+5+4+25) = 45/5 = 9
Turnaround time – (24 + 6 + 8 + 16 + 27) = 81/5 = 16.2
SRT
Process Burst Time Arrival Time Service Time
A 13 0 36
B 6 1 9
C 3 3 3
D 12 7 17
E 2 9 3
Average wait time – (36 + 8 + 0 + 10 - 6) = 48/5 = 9.6
Turnaround time – (49 + 14 + 3 + 22 - 4) = 84/5 = 16.8
Round Robin (use time quantum of 3)
Process Burst Time Arrival Time Service Time
A 13 0 36
B 6 1 19
C 3 3 19
D 12 7 5
E 2 9 5
Average wait time – (36 + 18 + 16 – 2- 4) = 64/5 = 12.8
Turnaround time – (49 + 24 + 19 + 10 - 2) = 100/5 = 20
