Consider a disk that rotates at 3600 rpm. The seek time to move the head between adjacent tracks is 2 ms. There are 32 sectors p

er track, which are stored in linear order from sector 0 through sector 31. The head sees the sectors in ascending order. Assume the read/write head is positioned at the start of sector 1 on track 8. There is a main memory buffer large enough to hold an entire track. Data is transferred between disk locations by reading from the source track into the main memory buffer and then writing the data from the buffer to the target track. a. How long will it take to transfer sector 1 on track 8 to sector 1 on track 9

Answer:

19.71 ms

Explanation:

The disk rotates at 3600 rpm, hence the time for one revolution = 60 / 3600 rpm = 16.67 ms.

Hence time to read or write on a sector = time for one revolution / number of sectors per track = 16.67 ms / 32 sectors = 0.52 ms

Head movement time from track 8 to track  9 = seek time = 2 ms

rotation time to head up sector 1 on track 8 to sector 1 on track 9 = 16.67 * 31/32 = 16.15 ms

The total time = sector read time +head movement time + rotational delay + sector write time = 0.52 ms + 2 ms + 16.15 ms + 0.52 ms = 19.19 ms

Describe the output when the following code executes in 64-bit mode: .data dividend_hi QWORD 00000108h dividend_lo QWORD 3330002
iragen [17]

Answer:

RAX = 333000h (16 bits with preceding zeros removed)

RDX = 20h (also 16 bits with preceding zeros removed)

Explanation:

The "div" opcode in the assembly language source code is used to divide operands. It accepts a divisor ( the denominator) and divides the content of the AX register. The result is saved in the AX register while the remainder (if any) is saved in the DX register. If the DX register holds any data, the data is replaced with the divisor remnant.

The code above divides the content of the RAX register with the divisor variable and saves the result and remainder in the RAX and RDX respectively.

lukranit [14]

Answer:

The data can be safeguarded using key escrow procedure.

Explanation:

Key escrow basically means to store the cryptographic key in an "escrow" by a reputable trusted third party. The copy of the encryption key is kept with the third party. In case the cryptographic key gets lost or destroyed, then the key escrow service helps to access the encrypted data. It also manages the access control to the key in case the key gets lost. So this way in case of security breach at GearOn the key escrow service can be used to re-implement or access the key easily.
