June 22nd, 2020 Computer science and IT assignments, Graduate Comments Off on Implement Java Producer and Consumer with Monitors and performance analysis

Implement Java Producer and Consumer with Monitors and performance analysis

Implement in Java consumer producer model using monitors – compatible with book. (page 182) LockedQueue

See the definition of the interface and semantics of operations.

For performance evaluation, the following configuration parameters are suggested:
a) Initial list size. Populate the list initially. Test different sizes as they will generate different operating times. Ex .: 100k, 200k, 300k
b) Maximum list size. Limit the list’s growth to a determined value. Ex: 300k, 500k, 1000k.
c) Distribution of commands. What percentage will we have of adds, reads and removes.
           It is suggested to test with the same frequency. In another situation, increasing reads.
d) Number of executing threads. Vary the maximum allowed by the infrastructure available. It does not make sense to go beyond the number of threads, considering hyper-threading.
e) Execution time and warm-up. Set an initial time where measurements are not sockets. Then start measuring for a duration of the experiment. It is suggested 10 seconds of warmup and 1 minute of experiment. However, these values should
            be investigated empirically.
Metrics to be observed. The following metrics are of interest:
        a) General flow of the system in operations carried out
        b) Flow rate by type of operation.
        c) Average list size.

June 22nd, 2020 Business and Management, MLA Comments Off on Any topic (writer’s choice)

Any topic (writer’s choice)

For this assignment you will take the role of Executive Coach with Kristen Peters as your client.  Many C Suite executives use Executive Coaches to help them improve their leadership skills, and to make plans for handling difficult situations.  For this activity we will assume that Kristen’s company has provided the Executive Coach to help her get started in her new role (“on boarding”). 

Your assignment is to write a briefing document (PPT) in which you address the following topics:

1. What should Kristen know about the organization?

2. What kind of culture should she expect?

3. Which are the key relationships and stakeholders for her specific work?

4. What five actions should she take when she starts to make sure she starts in a positive way?

Length will depend on the format and style that you choose.  I encourage robust pages, so that the document is not too long, but it is up to your judgement.

Grading will be based on:

1. Completeness (answer all questions completely) 10 points

2. Insights and analysis (demonstrating understanding of the concepts and situations, supporting ideas with class concepts and readings) 10 points

3. Communications (clarity of message, no errors, organization of content) 5 points

It is not important to overly design the document, but very important to cover items 1 & 2.

June 22nd, 2020 Art, MLA Comments Off on film

film

It needs to be a one-hour scripted episodic drama or reality show of your choice.  If it’s a drama, it needs to have a regular cast ensemble with guest stars…and has commercials…no HBO, Netfilix, Hulu Plus, Amazon Prime or commercial-free premium channels…lots to choose from on  commercial TV these days.  The format to complete it is very similar to the Radio Listening Assignment earlier in the semester. 

The links to the directions and student examples are listed below in this announcement.  It’s your choice of what program to use as long as it falls into the proper category listed above….if you have any questions, email me for clarification.

If you dont have cable or a TV to watch, you can video stream a show from one of the networks websites.  Those programs have commercials and viewing it online will satisfy the requirements of this assignment.  Your shows must have commercials and other promotions.

NOTE:  Like the Radio Assignment, the inventory log (minute-by-minute) does not need to be turned in….just use it to assemble your material and upload sections 3 and 4.
