Question

If each sandbox has size 16 megabytes, how many applets can be sandboxed on a machine with a 32-bit address space

Answer 1

Given that,

Size of each sandbox = 16 MB

Address space = 32- bit

We need to calculate the total size of address space

Using formula of total size

`\text{total size of address space}=2^(32)`

`\text{total size of address space}=4*10^9`

`\text{total size of address space}=4\ Gigabytes`

We need to calculate the total of applets

Using formula of total applets

`\text{total applets}=\frac{\text{total size of address space}}{\text{size of one applet}}`

Put the value into the formula

`\text{total applets}=(4\ GB)/(16\ MB)`

`\text{total applets}=(4*1024\ MB)/(16\ MB)`

`\text{total applets}=256`

Hence, The total of applets are 256.
