1.   Susan Farmer was fired from Covenant Transport, Inc. after she told her supervisor that she could not work on a certain Friday because of obligations to her daughter with cerebral palsy.  Farmer contends that the company violated the ADA because it refused to accommodate her request to have time off to attend to the meeting with the team of medical professionals responsible for her daughter’s care.  Farmer also contends that her termination violated the Family Medical Leave Act.

 

a. Did Covenant violate the ADA in terminating Farmer? Why or why not?

b. Did Covenant violate the FMLA in terminating Farmer? Why or why not?

 

2.  After four years of employment, Pietr Schierhoff, a 56 year old, slightly overweight man, was terminated by Glaxo Smith Klein (GSK) for violation of its absenteeism policy.  Schierhoff was absent 76 days in 2021 and 83 days in 2022. Schierhoff does not dispute that he was frequently absent but claimed that he was discriminated against on the basis of his age and his disability. Schierhoff cited as evidence the statement made by his supervisor that he “was old, fat, and lazy.”

 

a. Did GSK discriminate against Schierhoff in violation of the ADEA? Why or why not?

b. Did GSK discriminate against Schierhoff in violation of the ADA? Why or why not?

Virtual Memory Lab This lab project addresses the implementation of page-replacement algorithms in a demand-paging system. Each process in a demand-paging system has a page table that contains a list of entries. For each logical page of the process, there is an entry in the table that indicates if the page is in memory. If the page is in memory, the memory frame number that page is resident in is indicated. Also, for each page, the time at which the page has arrived in memory, the time at which it has been last referenced, and the number of times the page has been referenced since the page arrived in memory are maintained. The page table data structure is a simple array of page-table entries (PTEs). Each PTE contains five fields as defined below: struct PTE { int is_valid; int frame_number; int arrival_timestamp; int last_access_timestamp; int reference_count; } Each process in the system has a page table that is simply an array of PTEs. Each process also has a pool of frames that is allocated. The frame pool for a process is represented as an array of integers, where each Integer represents the frame number of a frame that is free and is available for use by the process. Note that in order to get the frame number in the pool, you first need to access the integer in the array. This lab project aims to exercise the various policies for page replacement. In particular, we study the following three page-replacement policies: First-In-First-Out (FIFO) Least-Recently-Used (LRU) Least-Frequently-Used (LFU) In order to implement the above policies, we need to develop corresponding functions that process page accesses for a process. That is, for each process, given its page table, a logical page number being referenced and the free frame pool of the process, the functions should determine the memory frame number for the logical page. Also, the functions should modify the page table and the free frame pool appropriately. The details of the functions with respect to the different policies are described below. You need to develop code for these functions that implement the specifications. Place the code in a file called virtual.c. You should include the oslabs.h file.
