Why studying . protoplanetary. . disks is important for understanding habitability. Edouard Lucas - 1883. Once upon a time!. The Tower of Hanoi (sometimes referred to as the Tower of Brahma or the End of the World Puzzle) was invented by the French mathematician, Edouard Lucas, in 1883. He was inspired by a legend that tells of a Hindu temple where the pyramid puzzle might have been used for the mental discipline of young priests. . Lecturer: . Ofer. Rothschild. 1.

Planets in multiple systems?. © . LucasFilm. Ltd.. They must exist!. Planets in multiple systems!. Reads and writes are equally fast.. Arrays of these disks are used to provide highly reliable storage.. Increasingly popular as they are fast and do not contain moving parts.. Magnetic Disks.. . What is a magnetic disk and how it works. Use multiple smaller disks (c.f. one large disk). Parallelism improves performance. Plus extra disk(s) for redundant data storage. Provides fault tolerant storage system. Especially if failed disks can be “hot swapped”. Don Porter. Portions courtesy Emmett . Witchel. 1. Quick Recap. CPU Scheduling.
