(c) Consider a hard disk with a transfer rate of 15 Mbytes/ second is constantly
transfering data to memory using DMA. The processor runs at 1 GHz, and takes
200 and 650 dlock cycles to initiate and complete DMA transfer respectively. If
the size of the transfer is 26 Kbytes, calculate the percentage of processor time
consumed for the transfer operation.
Q2: According to the first principles and equations of a hard disk, answer the following
branches:
A) Derive an equation for rotational time (latency) of a hard disk in terms of variables
of transfer time for n contiguous sectors, no. of passing n contiguous sectors that
must be read, the total no. of sectors per track, and the rotation angle.
B) Find the rotational angle in radians if the rotational speed is 7500 r.p.m, and 5 msec.
average latency.
