Assignment

Question No. 1

Consider a garments factory where a Men’s casual shirts are manufactured. Each Shirt requires 15 minutes for completion. The factory management is now interested in introducing a pipeline where cutting, stitching and finalizing the shirt will be done in parallel.

You are required to calculate the Speed-up that could be achieved after implementing pipeline for manufacturing of 25 shirts in a row.

Question No. 2
Consider two database tables X and Y, we are required to join these tables using Nested-Loop Join, Assume that indexing is not used in mentioned tables.
The table information is given as:
Size of Table X = 600 blocks
Size of Table Y = 900 blocks
Qualifying blocks for Table X = 50
Qualifying blocks for Table Y = 100

Calculate the join cost for X&Y and also for Y&X; after calculations mention which Table should be the outer one X or Y.

Deadline:
Your assignment must be uploaded on VULMS on or before August 01, 2019. While August 02, 2019 will be a bonus day for assignment submission. After the bonus day, no assignment would be entertained via email.
