Question:

Consider the disk system described in Problem 11.7, and assume that the disk rotates at 360 rpm. A processor reads one sector from the disk using interrupt-driven I/O, with one interrupt per byte. If it takes 2.5 μs to process each interrupt, what percentage of the time will the processor spend handling I/O (disregard seek time)?
Perform using DMA, and assume one interrupt per sector.
