A virtual memory system may be based on fixed-size pages which are moved between RAM and disk. The objective of this project is to build a memory management simulator to test the effects of different page replacement strategies, page sizes, etc. The system should have facilities to display unused memory and to illustrate the page traffic to and from disk. It should be driven by simple command which request and release pages in a particular system. The system may have a simple textual or a graphical interface associated with it.
Drug delivery system
This simple project simulates a drug delivery system as discussed in Chapter 21. The different parts of the system should be simulated by separate processes and it should be possible to load different controlling software into each system component to test its operation.
Alarm system components
This system should provide simulations of a number of different types of sensor and actuator such as
smoke detectors, movement sensors, sirens, sprinklers, etc. You may either get information about the
performance of these devices from manufacturer;s manuals or may simply make up some credible
figures for use in the simulation.
