The search algorithm developed will be used for users to search the catalog for all items matching the search keyword(s), and there are a
total of 15000 items in the catalog. During development, three different algorithms were created.
• Algorithm A runs in constant time, with a maximum runtime of 1.10 seconds and returns all matching results.
●
Algorithm B runs in logarithmic time, with a maximum runtime of 0.3 seconds, and returns only the first result.
●
Algorithm C runs in linear time, with a maximum runtime of 1.50 seconds and returns all matching results.
Which algorithm would be the least suitable for the requirements stated? In your answer, justify your choice by explaining why you picked that
algorithm, and why you did not pick the other two algorithms.OND OND OND DAD
Job scheduling Consider the problem of scheduling n jobs of known durations t1,t2,. . .,tn for execution by a single processor.
The jobs can be executed in any order, one job at a time.
You want to find a schedule that minimizes the total time spent by all the jobs in the system. (The time spent by one job in the system is the sum of the time spent by this job in waiting plus the time spent on its execution.)
Design a greedy algorithm for this problem. Does the greedy algorithm always yield an optimal solution?
The least solution to Eq 1, whenever it exists, is anupper bound on the WCRT of task τi.

One famous algorithm for deadlock avoidance is the Banker's algorithm for deadlock avoidance. The version of this algorithm presented in this module's commentary gives just one solution (the Greedy approach). Consider the Greedy approach to the Banker's algorithm. Give an example of application of this algorithm for 7 processes (named P1, ... , P7) and 5 resource types (named R1, ... , R5). Start by listing the matrices involved in this algorithm, that constitute its input data; also, do not forget to mention the overall resources of each type available in this fictional system.

- Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) refer to a domain of communication networks. In a WSN, small devices called sensor nodes are used for data transfer among each other and a base station. One limitation of a sensor node is that it has a very limited processing capability and very small memory. Consider a scenario in which you have an algorithm that can be subdivided into smaller problems. If you have to run these sub-problems in different sensor nodes, would you prefer to use divide & conquer approach or dynamic programming approach? Write briefly and precisely.arrow_forwardConsider the following part of a function (assume n>=1 and m>=1 and n and m are inputs to the function) for (i = 1 to n) for (j - 1 to m) for (k = 1 through 1000) { Task A Task B If Task A requires t time units and Task B requires s time units, then the algorithm requires _in the worst case, assuming that t and s are constants. time units to be executed, and therefore it is 1000 * t* s* n units, O(1000 * t* s ) 1000 + n + m +t + s units, O(1000 + n+ m +t+ s) n*m* t*s units, O(n*m*t*s) 1000*n*m* (t +s) units, O(n*m) O (1000 +m + n) * (t +s) units, O(m + n) O m'n units, O(mn)arrow_forwardAs a teaching administrator of the department, your responsibility is to schedule the classes for a particular classroom. Suppose there are n classes, each class i is represented by its start time and finishing time [Si, fi], and we say that two classes i and j are non-conflicting if they do not overlap in time (i.e., sizfj or szfi). You want to schedule as many classes for the classroom as possible, but the scheduled classes should be non-conflicting. Develop an algorithm so that you can select the maximum number of classes for the classroom. (We are expecting either pseudocode or language description of your algorithm)arrow_forward
- Consider array A of n numbers. We want to design a dynamic programming algorithm to find the maximum sum of consecutive numbers with at least one number. Clearly, if all numbers are positive, the maximum will be the sum of all the numbers. On the other hand, if all of them are negative, the maximum will be the largest negative number. The complexity of your dynamic programming algorithm must be O(n2). However, the running time of the most efficient algorithm is O(n). Design the most efficient algorithm you can and answer the following questions based on it. To get the full points you should design the O(n) algorithm. However, if you cannot do that, still answer the following questions based on your algorithm and you will get partial credit. Write the recursion that computes the optimal solution recursively based on the solu- (a) tion(s) to subproblem(s). Briefly explain how it computes the solution. Do not forget the base case(s) of your recursion.arrow_forwardBus timetables specify to the second the exact arrival and departure time of each bus on each stop. You need to pay for the full fare of every bus you ride and different bus lines charge different fees , but they are flat fees (independent of distance travelled on the line) A travel plan is a sequence of stop-time pairs where stop is a location of a bus stop and time is when we arrive at that stop. The plan is feasible if for any two consecutive pairs (a, t) and (b, t′) in the plan there exists a bus that departs after t and arrives at b at exactly t′. That is, a travel plan does not allow us to walk between stops. Assuming that no two buses arrive at the same time at the same stop, a feasible plan uniquely identifies the bus lines that we need to take to realize the plan. The cost of the plan is the sum of the fares we need to pay. Your task is to design an efficient algorithm that given a departure time t, an arrival time t′, an origin stop a and a destination stop b, finds the…arrow_forwardConsider the following problem: You have a large collection of music files (e.g., MP3 files), and for each file you know the artist name (as a string) and the song title (also as a string).

- Problem Alice was given a number line containing every positive integer, x, where 1<=x<=n. She was also given m line segments, each having a left endpoint, l (1<=l<=n), a right endpoint, r (1<=r<=n), and an integer weight, w. Her task is to cover all numbers on the given number line using a subset of the line segments, such that the maximum weight among all the line segments in the chosen subset is minimal. In other words, let S=(l1,r1,w1),(l2,r2,w2),....,(lk,rk,wk), represent a set of k line segments chosen by Alice, max(w1,w2,...,wk) should be minimized. All numbers 1,2,....n should be covered by at least one of k the chosen line segments. It is okay for the chosen line segments to overlap. You program should output the minimized maximum weight in the chosen subset that covers all the numbers on the number line, or -1 if it is not possible to cover the number line.
