The Program Manager just received approval of his proposed acquisition strategy with one exception: he has been directed to make maximum use of existing Air Force software. Which of the best software acquisition practices is most applicable to his situation

Using least squares fitting, you are to fit the data sets to the following models and solve for the parameters ai , where i is the index of the parameter. the input/output data for the systems are linked in the bblearn site. for each of the systems use matlab to plot the supplied data vs. the model fit on one plot. include your code in the solutions. (a) linear fit "lineardata.mat" y=a1x^3 + a2x^2 + a3x + a4 (b) plant fit "plantdata.mat g(s) = a1/(s + a2)

This question involves a class named textfile that represents a text file. public class textfile { private string filename; private string filename; private arraylist words; // constructors not shown // postcondition: returns the number of bytes in this file public int filesize() { } // precondition: 0 < = index < words.size() // postcondition: removes numwords words from the words arraylist beginning at // index. public void deletewords(int index, int numwords) { } // precondition: 0 < = index < = words.size() // postcondition: adds elements from newwords array to words arraylist beginning // at index. pub lic voidaddwords(int index, string[] newwords) { } // other methods not shown } complete the filesize() method. the filesize() is computed in bytes. in a text file, each character in each word counts as one byte. in addition, there is a space in between each word in the words arraylist, and each of those spaces also counts as one byte. for example, suppose the words arraylist stores the following words: { mary had a little lamb; its fleece was white as snow. } the filesize() method would compute 4 + 3 + 1 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 6 + 3 + 5 + 2 + 5 as the sum of the lengths of each string in the arraylist. the value returned would be this sum plus 10, because there would also be 10 spaces in between the 11 words. complete the filesize() method below: // postcondition: returns the number of bytes in this file public int filesize() { }

Suppose a cpu with a write-through, write-allocate cache achieves a cpi of 2. what are the read and write bandwidths (measured by bytes per cycle) between ram and the cache? (assume each miss generates a request for one block.)
