Textbook Question
Chapter 3, Problem 3.61HW
In Section 3.6.6, we examined the following code as a candidate for the use of conditional data transfer:
long cread (long *xp) {
return (xp ? xp : 0);
}
We showed a trial implementation using a conditional move instruction but argued that it was not valid, since it could attempt to read from a null address.
Write a C function cread_alt that has the same behavior as cread, except that it can be compiled to use conditional data transfer. When compiled, the generated code should use a conditional move instruction rather than one of the jump instructions.

Write a program that reads an unknown number of integers (int16_t) from the keyboard, terminated when the value (-10000) is given, and stores these into a dynamically sized array.
The array should be initialised with a size to hold 10 values, and should increase in size by steps of 10 values whenever the array needs to be resized. (Note that the array should always have capacity to hold
another value, for example, when it is holding 10 values the array size should be 20; the next step size up).
Once it reads -10000, the program should print how many numbers it read in the format Numbers read = , then exit. The program must free() the array before exiting (but after printing the how many
numbers have been read).
You can use scanf("%hd", &number) to read a 16 bit integer.
Note: because of the way we test this, you must not call realloc() if you just read in -10000; be efficient!
For example:
Input
1 2 3 4 5 -10000
Result
_TESTALLOC: (calloc) Add block 0, total memblks 20
_TESTALLOC:…
Q2: Besides the while-loop in Q1, I want to implement a 2nd while-loop running in parallel with the first
while:
while(1) {
wt(1);
XX);
}
However, on an MCU there is no parallelism. (For ex., on Arduino I can define only one loop() function.)
Write a single while that does the job of both whiles.
(a) Write it in a procedural style.
(b) Write it the super-loop style (state-machine with fixed heartbeat).

- The read() system call needs to be run in a loop to deal safely with edge cases that can appear on some system configurations. Some libraries provide a function for this (for example the C library [fread), but it is not too hard to code yourself. Consider the following snippet of code, with two parts replaced by XXX and YYY ssize_t do_read(int fd, void buffer, size_t len) { ssize_t res; do { res read(fd, buf, len); while (res XXX @ && errno YYY); return res; } Enter the values for XXX and YYY to make this code run correctly, respecting the following rules. The correct value for XXX is a single operator. Enter it without any spaces. The correct value for YYY is a clause to do a comparison with the errno value. Enter the value with no leading or trailing spaces, and exactly one space in any places inside the string where spaces are required. Enter the values here: ● XXX: • YYY:arrow_forwardImplement in C Programming 6.10.1: Function pass by pointer: Transforming coordinates. Define a function CoordTransform() that transforms its first two input parameters xVal and yVal into two output parameters xValNew and yValNew. The function returns void. The transformation is new = (old + 1) * 2. Ex: If xVal = 3 and yVal = 4, then xValNew is 8 and yValNew is 10. #include <stdio.h> /* Your solution goes here */ int main(void) { int xValNew; int yValNew; int xValUser; int yValUser; scanf("%d", &xValUser); scanf("%d", &yValUser); CoordTransform(xValUser, yValUser, &xValNew, &yValNew); printf("(%d, %d) becomes (%d, %d)\n", xValUser, yValUser, xValNew, yValNew); return 0;}arrow_forward2. Implement the frame replacement algorithm for virtual memory In Java For this task, you need to perform the simulation of page replacement algorithms. Create a Java program which allows the user to specify: • the total of frames currently exist in memory (F), the total of page requests (N) to be processed, • the list or sequence of N page requests involved, For example, if N is 10, user must input a list of 10 values (ranging between 0 to TP-1) as the request sequence. Optionally you may also get additional input, the total of pages (TP) This input is optional for your program/work. It only be used to verify that each of the page number given in the request list is valid or invalid. Valid page number should be within the range 0, .. , TP-1. Page number outside the range is invalid. Then use the input data to calculate the number of page faults produced by each of the following page replacement algorithms: • First-in-first-out (FIFO) - the candidate that is the first one that entered…arrow_forward

This would require you to write twoprograms P1 and P2. The first program P1 needs to generate an array of 50random strings (of characters) of fixed length each. P1 then sends a group offive consecutive elements of the array of strings to P2 along with the ID’s ofthe strings, where the ID is the index of the array corresponding to the string.The second program P2 needs to accept the received strings, and send backthe highest ID received back to P1 to acknowledge the strings received. Theprogram P2 simply prints the ID’s and the strings on the console. On receivingthe acknowledged packet, P1 sends the next five strings, with the string elementsstarting from the successor of the acknowledged ID. The above mechanism needs to be implemented FIFO and UNIX DOMAIN SOCKETS.

In this problem you have to take an array of size 10 and write the Enqueue, Dequeue and Display functions for that and also take care of overflow and underflow conditions. All the work must be done in classes. Furthermore you must write isEmpty(), isFull() and status() function. isEmpty() has return type of Boolean and check the underflow. isFull() has return type of Boolean and check the overflow. Status() tells the current available spaces in the stack. Also perform following function Create two objects of above class provide inputs and also check whether the two Queues are equal or not by writing equal() function In above case size of Queue is fixed do all the work with size provided by user.arrow_forward
- For the scramble.c problem, write a program that: • Has a main () function and another function that has this prototype: void scramble str (char s[]); • The scramble_str() function scrambles the contents of the string in a random way so that the string has the same length as before, but the contents are all mixed around. It does this in-place, i.e., there is only one buffer that holds a string. You're free to scramble it any way you want to, but use rand () repeatedly so it gets really scrambled. • The main () function will read a string entered by the user into the buffer, call scramble_str(), and output the resulting string. This will be done in a loop forever, until the entered string is the string "bye". When the user says "bye", the program will exit with a polite message. Do note that reading a string using scanf (), which is the only tool I've introduced you to so far, will just read up to the first whitespace. So, multiple-word strings won't work!

Create the same large array from the heap (dynamic memory – dynamic binding). Call each of the subprograms 1,000,000 times and output the time required by each to finish all 1,000,000 calls.

An abstract version of the function has a CPE of 14–18 with x86- 64 for different types of integer and floating-point data. By doing the same sort of transformations we did to transform the abstract program combine1 into the more efficient combine4, we get the following code: Our measurements show that this function has CPEs of 1.50 for integer data and 3.00 for floating-point data.
