Question
Chapter 9.9, Problem 9.6PP
Program Plan Intro
Dynamic allocator:
Dynamic allocator keeps the heap as a group of several size blocks; each block is an attached portion of virtual memory which is allocated or free.
- An allocated block has been clearly kept for use by the application.
- A free block is offered to be allocated.
Two types of allocators:
- 1. Explicit allocators
- 2. Implicit allocators
Explicit allocators:
Explicit allocators need the application to explicitly free any allocated blocks.
Implicit allocators:
Implicit allocators is the method of automatically releasing vacant allocated blocks. This is also known as garbage collection.
Implicit free list:
In this method, a block contains one word header, payload and additional padding. The header encrypts the block size which contains header and padding; and also check the block is allocated or free.
- If the arrangement is double-word, the block size is constantly a multiple of “8” and the low-order bits of the block size are always zero.
- Thus, essential to store only the high-order “29 bits” of the block size, freeing the remaining “3 bits” to encrypt other information.
- Here, smallest significant bits is using to represent the block is allocated or free.

3. The diagram below shows the main land routes for vehicular traffic between points A and G in a city. The figures in the arcs represent the cost of traveling between each pair of nodes.
a) Manually apply Dijkstra's algorithm to find the cheapest route between A and G (visited nodes and total distance).
b) Formulate a linear programming problem in extended form, to determine the shortest route to travel from A to G. Do not use subscripts, name 14 variables, for example XFE would be the variable that indicates that the arc from F to E is used.
c) If there is a fixed cost for visiting each node, modify the formulation of the problem to include said fixed cost in the objective function, and the variables and restrictions that are required.
