Memory Management:The Best Fit Policy, Memory Allocation and Fixed and Variable Partitions.

The Best Fit Policy: Memory Allocation The main criticism of first-fit policy is that it may leave many smaller holes. For instance, let us trace the allocation for process P5. It needs 2 units of space. At the time it moves into the main memory there is a hole with 2 units of space. But this is the last hole when we scan the main memory from the top (beginning). The first hole is 3 units. Using the first-fit policy process P5 is allocated this hole. So when we used this hole we also created a still smaller hole. Note that smaller holes are less useful for future allocations. In the best-fit policy we scan the main memory for all the available holes. Once we have information about all the holes in the memory then we choose the one which is closest to the size of the requirement of the process. In our example we allocate the hole with size 2 as there is one available. Table 4.3 follows best-fit policy for the current example. Also, as we did for the previous example, we shall again as...

Input Output (IO) Management:Some Additional Points, Motivation For Disk Scheduling and Disk Scheduling Policies.

5.4 Some Additional Points In this section we discuss a few critical services like clocks and spooling. We also discuss many additional points relevant to IO management like caches. Spooling: Suppose we have a printer connected to a machine. Many users may seek to use the printer. To avoid print clashes, it is important to be able to queue up all the print requests. This is achieved by spooling. The OS maintains all print requests and schedules each users' print requests. In other words, all output commands to print are intercepted by the OS kernel. An area is used to spool the output so that a users' job does not have to wait for the printer to be available. One can examine a print queue status by using lpq and lpstat commands in Unix. Clocks : The CPU has a system clock. The OS uses this clock to provide a variety of system- and application-based services. For instance, the print-out should display the date and time of printing. Below we list some of the common clock-based...

System Administration in UNIX:Managing User Accounts and The .rc Files.

Managing User Accounts When a new person joins an organisation he is usually given an account by the system administrator. This is the login account of the user. Now a days almost all Unix systems support an admin tool which seeks the following information from the system administrator to open a new account: 1. Username: This serves as the login name for the user. 2. Password: Usually a system administrator gives a simple password. The users are advised to later select a password which they feel comfortable using. User's password appears in the shadow files in encrypted forms. Usually, the /etc/passwd file contains the information required by the login program to authenticate the login name and to initiate appropriate shell as shown in the description below: bhatt:x:1007:1::/export/home/bhatt:/usr/local/bin/bash damu:x:1001:10::/export/home/damu:/usr/local/bin/bash Each line above contains information about one user. The first field is the name of the user; the next a dummy in...
