Explain the token passing technique used for advanced distributed control system communications on the lan, describing the procedure for a newly powered up module to join the system.

Your task this week is to write a very simple spam classifier in python. it will classify messages as either spam (unwanted) or ham (wanted). the program will have a set of spam_words, words that are known to appear in spam messages. that set is included in the template file spam. pypreview the document. you will also define a spam threshold which reflects the allowed percentage of spam words in the message. you'll compute a 'spam indicator', which is the ratio of spam words to the total number of unique words in the message. if the spam indicator exceeds the spam threshold, the message is classified as spam. otherwise it is classified as ham. we'll assume that the spam threshold is a constant and has a value of 0.10. your program will prompt the user for a message and then will print the corresponding spam indicator with two decimal digits and the corresponding classification (spam or ham). the program will be case insensitive. the spam words are detected whether they are in lower case or upper case or mixed case. each word, spam or not, is counted once (even if it appears multiple times in the message.) the program will remove punctuation from the message before identifying the words and computing the spam indicator. for example '! ' must be identified as the spam word 'now'.

When making changes to optimize part of a processor, it is often the case that speeding up one type of instruction comes at the cost of slowing down something else. for example, if we put in a complicated fast floating-point unit, that takes space, and something might have to be moved farther away from the middle to accommodate it, adding an extra cycle in delay to reach that unit. the basic amdahl's law equation does not take into account this trade-off. a. if the new fast floating-point unit speeds up floating-point operations by, on average, 2ă—, and floating-point operations take 20% of the original program's execution time, what is the overall speedup (ignoring the penalty to any other instructions)? b. now assume that speeding up the floating-point unit slowed down data cache accesses, resulting in a 1.5ă— slowdown (or 2/3 speedup). data cache accesses consume 10% of the execution time. what is the overall speedup now? c. after implementing the new floating-point operations, what percentage of execution time is spent on floating-point operations? what percentage is spent on data cache accesses?
