Solution Prob2

i) The bus becomes busy at t=1 sec when computer 2 enters arbitration phase. ii) At t=3 sec, computer 1 cannot enter arbitration as the bus is still busy. iii) At t=6 sec, computer 1 enters arbitration but target 3 is busy, so computer 1 is queued by target 3. iv) At t=12 sec, computer 3 also cannot access target 3 as it is busy and is queued. v) All tasks are completed by t=33 sec, so the bus and all controllers become free at that time.

Problem 2:

Suppose, 3 computers are sharing a common SCSI bus among them. 3 SCSI controllers are connected
with the same bus. Now solve the following scenario and find out the value of t at which all the
controllers and bus will become free after executing all the tasks given by the all the computers.
Consider ,data transfer rate between all components = 2 sec
And arbitration +selection/reselection time= 1 sec

Initiator Target Arbitration time of initiator Task time of target


(sec) given by initiator (sec)
2 3 1 10
1 2 3 8
1 3 6 4
3 1 8 20
3 3 12 9

i) When t=1sec, computer 2 enter in to arbitration phase.

ii) When t=3 sec, computer 1 wants to enter in arbitration phase but cannot gain control over
bus as the bus is busy at that time.
iii) At, t=6 sec, computer 1 enters into arbitration phase but cannot transfer data to target 3 as
target 3 is busy at that time. So, target 3 keeps controller 1 in it’s queue.

v) At t=12 sec, computer 3 enters into arbitration phase but cannot transfer da ta to target 3 as
target 3 is busy at that time. So, target 3 keeps controller 3 in it’s queue.
