Gate
An I/O device transfers data at a rate of 10MB/s over a 100MB/S bus. The data is transferred in 4KB blocks. If the processor operates at 500MHz, and it takes a total of 5000 cycles to handle each DMA request, find the fraction of CPU time handling the data transfer with and without DMA.

Andrew S. Tanenbaum - Modern Operating Systems
Measurements of a certain system have shown that the average process runs for a time T before blocking on I/O. A process switch requires a time S, which is effectively wasted (overhead). For round-robin scheduling with quantum Q, giv e a formula for the CPU efficiency for each of the ... ) Q = ∞ (b) Q > T (c) S < Q < T (d) Q = S (e) Q nearly 0

Trishna's GATE CSE
In a programmed I/O technique, the processor is stuck in a wait loop doing status checking of an I/O device. To increase efficiency, the I/O software could be writ- ten so that the processor periodically checks the status of the device. If the device is not ready, ...
