Homework Project
Much computer science research involves simulating a real system
or algorithm. The simulation is used
to make predictions on the behavior of these under certain conditions.
Do lab pages 283 - 289 from Operating Systems by Gary
Nutt as given out in class. The lab
outlined in these pages requires you to simulate a Round Robin process
scheduling algorithm. Program and run
your simulation using the parameter inputs, as described in the text.
Use graphing software such as Microsoft Excel, Star Office, Mat lab,
etc., to visualize your results. Create
the graphs described in the lab exercise, along with any other graphs you think
would help substantiate your conclusions.
Computer researchers "tell the world" about their
results in a research paper. A research
paper has a definite format. We will
discuss this in class. You are to write
a research paper describing your experiment.
Hand in your source code your research paper.
