Consider four system configurations involving demand paging. In system S1, the main memory size is 1 GB with a cost of $100. The memory access time (i. e., when a page is accessed without a page fault) is 0.1 ms. The disk drive in this system configuration costs $75 and the page fault service time (i. e., the average time to identify a page to replace, write it out if needed, and bring in the new page from disk) is 2 ms.
In system S2, the main memory size is 0.5 GB and its cost is $75. The memory access time is 0.075 ms. The disk drive costs $125 and the page fault service time is 1.5 ms.
In system S3, the main memory size is 2 GB and its cost is $125. The memory access time is 0.1 ms. The disk drive costs $125 and the page fault service time is 1.5 ms.
In system S4, the main memory size is 2 GB and its cost is $100. The memory access time is 0.2 ms. The disk drive costs $125 and the page fault service time is 1 ms.
Let the page fault rate in the four systems be 10%, 15%, 7.5% and 7.5% respectively.
Determine the performance, in terms of the effective memory access time (i. e., the time it takes on average to access a page in memory), for the four system configurations S1, S2, S3, S4. Identify the true statement from the following choices regarding the price-performance ratios of the four systems (note that in this context, system A will have a better price-performance ratio if the product of its total cost of main memory as well as disk drive and its effective memory access time is smaller than the corresponding value for system B)?
A. S1 has the best price-performance ratio.
B. S2 has the worst price-performance ratio.
C. S4 has better price-performance ratio than S3.
D. S3 has the best price-performance ratio.

[a] create a class called “cycle” which has two instance integer variables as properties, “numberofwheels” and “weight.” create a constructor with two parameters, using the same variable names in the parameter list. assign each variable to numberofwheels” and “weight” respectively. write a separate application to test the class and display its properties. note: do not change the names of the instance variables or the variables listed in the constructor’s parameter list. [b] edit your class cycle by adding a default constructor which will assign the default values of 100 to represent the numberofwheels, and 1000 to represent the weight, by invoking a call to the other constructor. modify your application created in [a] to test the class.
