Located in the root folder of the system partition, specifies the windows xp path installation and contains options for selecting the windows version. a. boot. ini b. ntdetect c. bootsec. dos d. ntbootdd. sys

Write the command that can be used to answer the following questions. (hint: try each out on the system to check your results.) a. find all files on the system that have the word test" as part of their filename. b. search the path variable for the pathname to the awk command. c. find all files in the /usr directory and subdirectories that are larger than 50 kilobytes in size. d. find all files in the /usr directory and subdirectories that are less than 70 kilobytes in size. e. find all files in the / directory and subdirectories that are symbolic links. f. find all files in the /var directory and subdirectories that were accessed less than 60 minutes ago. g. find all files in the /var directory and subdirectories that were accessed less than six days ago. h. find all files in the /home directory and subdirectories that are empty. i. find all files in the /etc directory and subdirectories that are owned by the group bin."

When making changes to optimize part of a processor, it is often the case that speeding up one type of instruction comes at the cost of slowing down something else. for example, if we put in a complicated fast floating-point unit, that takes space, and something might have to be moved farther away from the middle to accommodate it, adding an extra cycle in delay to reach that unit. the basic amdahl's law equation does not take into account this trade-off. a. if the new fast floating-point unit speeds up floating-point operations by, on average, 2ă—, and floating-point operations take 20% of the original program's execution time, what is the overall speedup (ignoring the penalty to any other instructions)? b. now assume that speeding up the floating-point unit slowed down data cache accesses, resulting in a 1.5ă— slowdown (or 2/3 speedup). data cache accesses consume 10% of the execution time. what is the overall speedup now? c. after implementing the new floating-point operations, what percentage of execution time is spent on floating-point operations? what percentage is spent on data cache accesses?

Write and test a python program to find and print the largest number in a set of real (floating point) numbers. the program should first read a single positive integer number from the user, which will be how many numbers to read and search through. after reading in all of the numbers, the largest of the numbers input (not considering the count input) should be printed.
