Exercise
Explore hard disk drive operations by using a simulator to understand seek, rotation, and transfer times. Learn to evaluate scheduling policies such as FIFO, SSTF, SATF, and bounded SATF, and analyze their impact on performance and starvation. Gain insights into optimizing disk access with track skew and zone density.
Simulator
This exercise uses disk.py to familiarize you with how a modern hard drive works. It has a lot ...
