Description
Disk Scheduling
You should try to compare the output after applying all the following disk scheduling algorithms (FCFS, SSTF, SCAN, C-SCAN, LOOK and C-LOOK) as well as the newly optimized algorithm
by implementing their algorithms and applying it on a disk queue with requests for I/O blocks on cylinders.
Example of cylinders I/O requests:
98, 183, 37, 122, 14, 124, 65, 67
Initial head start cylinder: 53
The newly optimized algorithm procedure and flowchart are found in page 10 in the following paper:
https://research.ijcaonline.org/volume93/number18/pxc3896046.pdf
The following information should be followed:
- The Input queue like above should be an input to your program from the command line, from a file or through GUI.
- The Initial head start cylinder should also be an input to your program and entered by the user.
- The output result should show the sequence of head movement to access the requested cylinders based on the implemented algorithms.
- Also, show the total head movement per algorithm.
- You should summarize the newly optimized algorithm in your own words.
