Suppose that a disk drive has 5000 cylinders, numbered 0 to 4999. The drive is currently serving a request at cylinder 143, and the previous request was at cylinder 125. The queue of pending requests, in FIFO order, is:
86, 1470, 913, 1774, 948, 1509, 1022, 1750, 130.
Starting from the current head position, what is the total distance (in cylinders) that the disk arm moves to
satisfy all the pending requests, for each of the following disk?scheduling algorithms?
a. FCFS
b. SSTF
c. SCAN
a. The FCFS schedule is 143, 86, 1470, 913, 1774, 948, 1509, 1022, 1750, 130. The total seek distance is 7081.
b. The SSTF schedule is 143, 130, 86, 913, 948, 1022, 1470, 1509, 1750, 1774. The total seek distance is 1745.
c. The SCAN schedule is 143, 913, 948, 1022, 1470, 1509, 1750, 1774, 4999, 130, 86. The total seek distance is 9769.
