The topic of disk management involves many disk scheduling algorithms and was covered extensively in this module’s readings.
Focus on ONE such disk scheduling algorithm and list it clearly in the beginning of your post. You may select from the disk scheduling algorithms covered in the readings or other disk scheduling algorithms covered somewhere else (please provide a reference in this case).
Please explain this algorithm using your own words in such a way that everyone with some understanding of computers and computer programming will understand it.
Then provide an example of application of your algorithm for a disk queue with 8 requests (e.g.: 98, 18, 370, 122, 14, 12, 6, 67). Choose your own disk queue with 8 requests. Compute the total head movement for your example. Describe the computation process in detail, don’t just list the final result.
You can choose the same algorithm as another colleague, but your description must be original (shouldn’t be difficult, since you are using your own words), and also the example must be original (choose your own, original disk queue).
