Consider a data processing center in which MFP memory management is used. That is, memory partitions are fixed, and a process must fit into the smallest partition at least as large as it requires. a. (2) How would you use a distribution of job sizes to decide partition sizes? Explain, and give a formula if you can. Assume all jobs last about the same amount of time. b. (2) Apply your approach to a total memory size of 30 units, with a job size distribution as follows (where the first element is the size range with open minimum and the second is the frequency, so for example, there were 70 jobs of in the size range of >6 to 6 to Consider a data processing center in which MFP memory management is used.
