Chapter 6, Problem 6.24HW
Suppose that a 2 MB file consisting of 512-byte logical blocks is stored on a disk drive with the following characteristics:
| Parameter | Value |
| Rotational rate | 15,000 RPM |
| Seek | 4 ms |
| Average number of sectors/track | 1,000 |
| Surfaces | 8 |
| Sector size | 512 bytes |
For each case below, suppose that a program reads the logical blocks of the file sequentially, one after the other, and that the time to position the head over the first block is Tavg seek + Tavg rotation.
- A. Best case: Estimate the optimal time (in ms) required to read the file over all possible mappings of logical blocks to disk sectors.
- B. Random case: Estimate the time (in ms) required to read the file if blocks are mapped randomly to disk sectors.

Lab 9
Lab: Write a file copying program. The program asks for the name of the file to copy from (source file) and the name of the file to copy to (destination file). The program opens the source file for reading and the destination file for writing. As the program reads each line from the source file and it writes the line to the destination file. When every line from the source file has been written to the destination file, it close both files and print “Copy is successful.”
In the sample run, “add.py” is the source file and “add-copy.py” is the destination file. Note that both “add-copy.py” is identical to “add.py” because “add-copy.py” is a copy of “add.py”.
Sample run:
Enter file to copy from: add.py
Enter file to copy to : add-copy.py
Copy is successful.
Source file: add.py
print("This program adds two numbers")
a = int(input("Enter first number: "))
b = int(input("Enter second number: "))
print(f"{a} + {b} = {a+b}")
Destination file:…

Contiguous Memory Allocation Algorithms
The program will read size of free memory partitions and size of processes from a text file and then will try to allocate a memory partition for each process using the first-fit, best-fit and worst-fit allocation algorithms.
The implementation completed in Python programming language.
The first line of the input file should contain the size of free memory partitions (in order) while the second line contains the size of processes (in order). Sample input file is shown below:
300,600,350,200,750,125
115,500,358,200,375
The program should read the name input file as command line input and produce a text file named “output.txt” with the following example output:

- Problem 0. Suppose a file contains 100 bytes of data. A program successfully opens it for both reading and writing (i.e., passing the mode O_READWR to open()), and gets back a file descriptor number fd. a. The program, which has a 40-byte buffer, issues a call to read() for 40 bytes. It processes that data, and then repeats the call. Both calls return the exact amount requested. Then it issues a third read, again requesting 40 bytes. What value will it return? (Assume no other program has the file open.) b. Next the program calls write (fd, buffer, 40), and the call returns 40. Then it issues another read() call for 40 bytes. What value does that call return? c. Suppose the programmer needs to read back the 40 bytes just written. First it must use 1seek() to reposition the file pointer. What parameters should it invoke 1seek () with so that the next read call will return the 40 bytes just written?arrow_forwardDesign a pseudocode algorithm for reversing the contents of a text file into another file. Assume that the amount of memory is limited, so that you cannot read the entire source file into memory before you start writing it to a second file in reverse order.arrow_forwardWrite an algorithm of a program to read from a file. The user should be able to get the option to input the file name. He is supposed to read first 100 bytes from the file. After the reading is done, the file should be closed. If the file is not available, the program should be closed immediately. You should mention "System call" beside each instruction which are supposed to use a system call function.arrow_forward
- 1 Encryption (a). Write a program that will utilise AES for encrypting and decrypting the data from a file as follows. Your program should take 3 arguments from the command line as input. The first input should be either 0 or 1 referring to encryption or decryption, respectively. The second input is the key filename. The third input is the either the plaintext or encrypted filename. If the first argument is 0: your program will read an AES key from a file titled key.txt (passed as second argument) and then will read the plaintext from a file titled plain- text.txt (passed as third argument), encrypt the contents of plaintext.txt using the key and save the ciphertext in a file titled encrypted.txt. If the first argument is 1, your program should decrypt the contents of encrypted.txt.

He desperately needs the file tonight to finish his homework, since he procrastinated all day by playing computer games. Unfortunately, his computer has gotten fried from all the gaming, and can no longer perform automatic searches for files. He therefore has to look for the file manually.Since he tends not to use subdirectories too much,he knows his best bet is to look for the file first in the root directory ("/"), and next in directories only one level deep (for example, "/Games/"), and so forth, checking the "deepest" directories last. His computer still has enough fire power to run some simple programs, so he has asked you to code for him a simple algorithm to sort all of the directories on his computer.

- Goal:Experimenting with AES-128 symmetric key cipher. Note:Using Python programming language that provided libraries for AES. Description:PART 1: write a program that uses AES-128 to decrypt a message. The program should be named "decrypt", and should deal with three files that contain the encrypted text as a stream of bytes, the 128-bit key for decryption stored as a stream of bytes, and the outcome of the decryption, respectively.- To test this program, here's an example of an encrypted message (ciphertext.dat) and its 128-bit secret key (key.dat). PART 2: you will try to use "brute force" to decrypt an encrypted message, where you only have the first 96-bits of the 128-bit secret key (last 4 bytes of the secret key are missing!) The program should be called "findk", and should deal with two files that contain the encrypted text as a stream of bytes and the first 96-bits of the key, respectively. The program should print out on standard output the missing 4 bytes of the key in…arrow_forwardIn python, rite a recursive function, displayFiles, that expects a pathname as an argument.

- USE PYTHON Python already supports math, whereby you can write code to add, subtract, multiply, or divide values and even variables. But let’s write a program that enables users to do math, even without knowing Python. In a file called interpreter.py, implement a program that prompts the user for an arithmetic expression and then calculates and outputs the result as a floating-point value formatted to one decimal place. Assume that the user’s input will be formatted as x y z, with one space between x and y and one space between y and z, wherein: x is an integer y is +, -, *, or / z is an integer For instance, if the user inputs 1 + 1, your program should output 2.0. Assume that, if y is /, then z will not be 0. Note that, just as python itself is an interpreter for Python, so will your interpreter.py be an interpreter for math!
