This past week, I gained knowledge in my computer systems course regarding the concept of a Canonical Device, which involves following specific guidelines to ensure compatibility with other devices in a given system. We also covered the topic of Canonical Protocol, which establishes a set of standard communication rules for devices connected over a network. I furthered my understanding on Single-track Latency, a delay in reading or writing data due to the time it takes for a hard disk's platter to rotate. We delved into Disk Scheduling techniques like SPTF that help minimize this latency.
Furthermore, RAID, a technology utilizing multiple disks for faster recovery and data redundancy was discussed. We examined the significance of Files and Directories for organizing computer data and the crucial role played by Inode, a data structure used in Unix-based file systems for storing file metadata to optimize file access efficiency.
