There are two algorithms called Alg1 and Alg2 for a problem of size n. Alg1 runs in n2 microseconds and Alg2 runs in 100n log n
microseconds. Alg1 can be implemented using 4 hours of programmer time and needs 2 minutes of CPU time. On the other hand, Alg2 requires 15 hours of programmer time and 6 minutes of CPU time.
1. If programmers are paid 20 dollars per hour and CPU time costs 50 dollars per minute, how many times must a problem instance of size 500 be solved using Alg2 in order to justify its development cost?

Answer:
So then the value of the maximum I/O wait that can be tolerated is 0.720 or 72 %
Explanation:
Previous concepts
Input/output operations per second (IOPS, pronounced eye-ops) "is an input/output performance measurement used to characterize computer storage devices like hard disk drives (HDD)"
Solution to the problem
For this case since we have 4GB, but 512 MB are destinated to the operating system, we can begin finding the available RAM like this:
Available = 4096 MB - 512 MB = 3584 MB
Now we can find the maximum simultaneous process than can use with this:
And then we can find the maximum wait I/O that can be tolerated with the following formula:
The expeonent for p = 14 since we got 14 simultaneous processes, and the rate for this case would be 99% or 0.99, if we solve for p we got:
So then the value of the maximum I/O wait that can be tolerated is 0.720 or 72 %
