Carleton College CS 107, Explorations in Computer Science
Assignment:
- Work through Laboratory 11, and turn in Exercise 1. Add the
following additional questions:
8) Provide an example of track number requests that illustrates the
concept of starvation.
9) The price of RAM is perpetually dropping relative to disks.
Eventually, disks may no longer be cost-effective. Are these disk
scheduling algorithms relevant if all data were stored in memory?
10) If disks were abandoned for RAM, what other ramifications are there?
