Description

This lecture discusses the concepts of aggregation and emulation in computer systems. It begins with aggregation, which allows multiple physical resources to be represented as a single virtual resource. The instructor provides examples, such as how memory modules (DIMMs) are aggregated into a single namespace and how RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks) combines multiple hard drives into one volume. The lecture explains different RAID levels, including RAID 0 (striping), RAID 1 (mirroring), and RAID 5 (distributed parity encoding), highlighting their advantages and trade-offs. The discussion then shifts to emulation, which is achieved through software to create virtual resources that may not have a corresponding physical counterpart. Examples include RAM disks, virtual CD-ROMs, and Java Virtual Machines. The lecture concludes by emphasizing the importance of these techniques in enhancing resource management and availability in computer systems, illustrating how they can be implemented within operating systems and hardware.
