Question


Programming project #2 (Concurrency and the I/O subsystem)

(User - DOIO – Device driver - Disk)

1.- In this assignment you will implement a simulation of the interaction of user programs with the OS to execute an I/O operation.

User programs:

User programs will communicate with DOIO (OS) to request an I/O operation. (this will simulate a system call)

User programs will give to DOIO two parameters: User id and an address (addr is a random number in the range 1 and 20.) (addr is an integer that represents a track number in the hard drive).

User programs will pass the parameters to DOIO through two buffers of size one each (bufid and bufaddr).

Once the parameters are stored in the buffers, user programsexecutes a P(request served) operation to wait for the completion of the I/O operation.

There will be only one user running and it will execute 5 I/O operations.

DOIO:

DOIO will collect an id and address(addr) from bufid and bufaddr to assemble the IORB.

DOIO will store the IORB (id and addr) into two buffers that represent the IORQ (iorqid and iorqaddr).

Device driver:

Device driver will collect an IORB (pair id and addr) from iorqid and iorqaddr and then initiates the physical I/O operation on the hard drive and wait for the I/O operation to be completed: P(operation complete).

The device driver initiate the physical I/O operation by storing addr into a buffer of length one. The buffer name is “pio” (physical I/O).

When the I/O operation completes a signal is received, the driver will identify the user that issued the I/O request using the id, and will signal the semaphore “request served”associated to the user.

Disk:

The disk process simulates the access to a track in the hard drive.

The Disk process gets the addr from pio and stores it in a variable called “seek” and iterates in a dummy loop from 1 to seek.

Once out of the loop, disk will execute a V on the semaphore “operation complete”   

The user will make 5 system calls to initiate I/O operations  

DOIO will create 5 IORB

Project Direction

You will write a C-- program based on the JBACI.

Test your solution

You must run and test your solution and comment on the results emitted.

Project Submission

What to submit?

Submit the source code(.cm file) and the output file showing the results:

Example for the print out of results is:

User 1 executes system call SIO or DOIO

DOIO assembles IORB and inserts it in IORQ

Driver initiates I/O operation for user 1

Disk Completes I/O operation (disk does not know what process initiated the I/O operation)

Driver signal user 1 (operation complete)

User 1 executes system call SIO or DOIO

DOIO assembles IORB and inserts it in IORQ

And so on…

Note: Your output does not need to be exactly to the one presented above
