Consider a disk with 4000 RPM rotational speed. The disk has 1K sectors on each track with 1k capacity of each sector. The disk is operating on the cycle stealing mode of DMA. It takes 50 nsec to transfer the 16 B data from disk to memory. What is the percentage of time CPU is blocked due to DMA?
This is the question
here is the solution
Can you tell where the 40ns which I have circled comes from??
