EXPERIMENT 2
OBJECTIVE
Write a C program to simulate the following file allocation strategies.
a) Sequential b) Linked c) ) Indexed
DESCRIPTION
A file is a collection of data, usually stored on disk. As a logical entity, a file enables to divide data into
meaningful groups. As a physical entity, a file should be considered in terms of its organization. The term "file
organization" refers to the way in which data is stored in a file and, consequently, the method(s) by which it can
be accessed.

EXPERIMENT 3
OBJECTIVE
Write a C program to simulate the MVT and MFT memory management techniques
DESCRIPTION
MFT (Multiprogramming with a Fixed number of Tasks) is one of the old memory management techniques in
which the memory is partitioned into fixed size partitions and each job is assigned to a partition. The memory
assigned to a partition does not change. MVT (Multiprogramming with a Variable number of Tasks) is the
memory management technique in which each job gets just the amount of memory it needs. That is, the
partitioning of memory is dynamic and changes as jobs enter and leave the system. MVT is a more ``efficient''
user of resources. MFT suffers with the problem of internal fragmentation and MVT suffers with external
fragmentation.

EXPERIMENT 4
OBJECTIVE
Write a C program to simulate paging technique of memory management.
DESCRIPTION
In computer operating systems, paging is one of the memory management schemes by which a computer stores
and retrieves data from the secondary storage for use in main memory. In the paging memory-management
scheme, the operating system retrieves data from secondary storage in same-size blocks called pages. Paging is a
memory-management scheme that permits the physical address space a process to be noncontiguous. The basic
method for implementing paging involves breaking physical memory into fixed-sized blocks called frames and
breaking logical memory into blocks of the same size called pages. When a process is to be executed, its pages
are loaded into any available memory frames from their source.

EXPERIMENT 5
OBJECTIVE
Write a C program to simulate the following file organization techniques
a) Single level directory b) Two level directory c) Hierarchical
DESCRIPTION
The directory structure is the organization of files into a hierarchy of folders. In a single-level directory system,
all the files are placed in one directory. There is a root directory which has all files. It has a simple architecture
and there are no sub directories. Advantage of single level directory system is that it is easy to find a file in the
directory. In the two-level directory system, each user has own user file directory (UFD). The system maintains a
master block that has one entry for each user. This master block contains the addresses of the directory of the
users. When a user job starts or a user logs in, the system's master file directory (MFD) is searched. When a user
refers to a particular file, only his own UFD is searched. This effectively solves the name collision problem and
isolates users from one another. Hierarchical directory structure allows users to create their own subdirectories
and to organize their files accordingly. A tree is the most common directory structure. The tree has a root
directory, and every file in the system has a unique path name. A directory (or subdirectory) contains a set of
files or subdirectories.

OBJECTIVE
Write a C program to simulate page replacement algorithms
a) FIFO b) LRU c) LFU
DESCRIPTION
Page replacement is basic to demand paging. It completes the separation between logical memory and physical
memory. With this mechanism, an enormous virtual memory can be provided for programmers on a smaller
physical memory. There are many different page-replacement algorithms. Every operating system probably has
its own replacement scheme. A FIFO replacement algorithm associates with each page the time when that page
was brought into memory. When a page must be replaced, the oldest page is chosen. If the recent past is used
as an approximation of the near future, then the page that has not been used for the longest period of time can
be replaced. This approach is the Least Recently Used (LRU) algorithm. LRU replacement associates with each
page the time of that page's last use. When a page must be replaced, LRU chooses the page that has not been
used for the longest period of time. Least frequently used (LFU) page-replacement algorithm requires that the
page with the smallest count be replaced. The reason for this selection is that an actively used page should have
a large reference count.
