Disk structure

Disk Structure

* The conventional head-sector-cylinder, HSC numbers are mapped to linear block addresses by numbering the first sector on the first head on the surface track as sector 0. Numbering begins with the rest of the sectors on that same track, and then the remaining of the tracks on the same cylinder before starting through the remaining of the cylinders to the center of the disk. In modern practice these linear block addresses are used in place of the HSC numbers for a various easons:
1. The rectilinear length of tracks near the surface of the disk is much longer than for those tracks placed near the center, and therefore it is possible to compress many more sectors onto surface than onto internal ones.
2. All disks have some bad sectors, and therefore disks continue a few extra sectors that can be used in place of the bad ones. The mapping of extra sectors to bad sectors in controlled central to the disk controller.
3. Modern hard drives has thousands of cylinders, and hundreds of sectors per 
track on their outermost tracks. These numbers restrict the range of HSC numbers for many (older) operating systems, and therefore disks can be aligned for any suitable combination of HSC values that falls within the complete number of sectors physically on the drive.
* There is a restriction to how closely grouped individual bits can be placed on a physical media, but that limit is growing increasingly more grouped as technological advances are made.
* Modern disks group many more sectors into outer cylinders than inner ones, using one of two approaches:
• With sustained Linear Velocity, CLV, the density of bits is same from cylinder to cylinder. Because there are more sectors in external cylinders, the disk spins slower when reading those cylinders, causing the rate of bits passing under the read-write head to remain constant. This is the method used by modern CDs and DVDs.
• With sustained Angular Velocity, CAV, the disk rotates at a sustained angular speed, with the bit density reducing on outer cylinders. (These disks would have 
a constant number of sectors for each track on all cylinders.)

Operations on data structures

OPERATIONS ON DATA STRUCTURES This section discusses the different operations that can be execute on the different data structures before mentioned. Traversing It means to process each data item exactly once so that it can be processed. For example, to print the names of all the employees in a office. Searching It is used to detect the location of one or more data items that satisfy the given constraint. Such a data item may or may not be present in the given group of data items. For example, to find the names of all the students who secured 100 marks in mathematics. Inserting It is used to add new data items to the given list of data items. For example, to add the details of a new student who has lately joined the course. Deleting It means to delete a particular data item from the given collection of data items. For example, to delete the name of a employee who has left the office. Sorting Data items can be ordered in some order like ascending order or descending order depending ...

The Rise of Green Buildings: A Sustainable Future

In an era where climate change and environmental sustainability dominate global conversations, the concept of green buildings has emerged as a pivotal solution. These structures, designed with both ecological and human health in mind, represent a shift towards more sustainable urban development. But what exactly are green buildings, and why are they so important? What Are Green Buildings? Green buildings, also known as sustainable buildings, are structures that are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout their life cycle—from planning and design to construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and demolition. This holistic approach seeks to minimize the negative impact of buildings on the environment and human health by efficiently using energy, water, and other resources. Key Features of Green Buildings Energy Efficiency: Green buildings often incorporate advanced systems and technologies to reduce energy consumption. This can include high-efficiency HVAC sys...
