Consider a workstation with five machines. The arrival rate of jobs is 13.5 jobs per hour (with c 2 a = 1). Each machine takes 0.3 hour per job with a natural CV of 1 2 (that is, c 2 0 = 0.25). The mean time to failure for any machine is 36 hours, and repair times are exponential with a mean time to repair of 4 hours.

(a) Show that the SCV of effective process times is 2.65.

(b) What is the utilization of a single machine when it is allocated one-fifth of the demand (that is, 2.7 jobs per hour) assuming ca is still equal to 1?

(c) What is the utilization of the station with an arrival rate of 13.5 jobs per hour?

Add the mips assembly language instructions (after main: ) to complete the following (in this order). do not skip steps. use other registers as needed. actions: 1. initialize the register $s0 to 35 2. prompt the user to enter a number, read the number and then put it into register $s1 3. prompt the user to enter a number, read the number and then put it into register $s2 4. store the value in $s1 into the memory at address 0x10010000. 5. store the value in $s2 into the memory at address 0x10010004. 6. calculate the value of $s0 - $s1 $s2 and store the result in the memory at address 0x10010008. 7. print the following output each on its own line. you will need to determine the location of each of the strings from the beginning of the memory segment a. your name b. the value in address 0x10010000 c. the value in address 0x10010004 d. the value in address 0x10010008 8. exchange or swap the values in $s1 and $s2 9. set the value in $s0 to -$s0

You've arrived at the pecan shellers conference—your first networking opportunity. naturally, you're feeling nervous, but to avoid seeming insecure or uncertain, you've decided to a. speak a little louder than you would normally. b. talk on your cell phone as you walk around. c. hold an empowered image of yourself in your mind. d. square your shoulders before entering the room.
