Moral Development

Many researchers believe that our level of morality grows as we mature and grow through interactions with others. While Kohlberg, Gilligan and Piaget

are best known for creating moral development models, there are other researchers that have developed other models for moral development. In this

paper, identify two moral development models and summarize them. Then compare and contrast these two models to each other. In your summary of the

paper, identify your beliefs about the moral development models you researched and reflect on your moral development and how it happened. Follow APA

Assignment Overview
This assignment is about operating systems architecture and functionality. The assignment is divided into three parts A-C. The first part is

concerned with the Windows operating system architecture, the second part is concerned with resource handling and the third part deals with

multi-threading and concurrency issues. You need to answer ALL three parts. This is an individual piece of work. Please answer questions in

full sentences. No bullet points. Put your answers into the provided answer sheet which should have your name and k-number at the top. Submit

your answer sheet as a WORD document via CANVAS. There are 50 marks in total. This assignment counts for 15% of the total mark of this module.

Question A2: Windows Event Handling – (10 marks)
The Windows Operating System and applications are event-driven. Describe how a Windows application is decoding event messages in its main

message procedure WndProc. How does the application decode a WM_COMMAND message to call the DialogBox? Refer to the source code example below.

Discuss how such an approach is beneficial for interactive applications.

Part B – Resource Management
The Operating System manages resources such as memory and CPU time which is assigned to processing entities such as processes and threads.

Multi-threading is often used to distribute heavy duty processing onto several CPU cores to speed up the processing. The O/S scheduler

distributes the threads onto different CPU cores. The Java program MultiThreading.java in the MultiThreading.zip folder in the Assignments

section on CANVAS is an application which has been prepared with multi-threading in mind.
Performance Testing
In this part you need to assess the performance of your multi-core system and how the operating system handles the distribution of the

processing. All modern PCs feature multiple processing units (multi-core and hyper-threading units). The number of processing units corresponds

to the number of graphs (logical processors) in the performance tab in the task manager. Run the MultiThreading.java application in NetBeans.

It is suggested to use NetBeans 8.01 or NetBeans 8.1. The application performs 100 million calculations and stores the result in a shared static

data array of type float. Currently the application is configured to run this processing task only once as a single thread. By changing the

values assigned to variable N you can control the number of threads which are created and each of those threads currently performs the same

number of calculations. Hence, the workload increases with N. The application will print out how long it took to complete the processing task

for each thread. Do not run any other processing tasks while assessing the performance of the system. Make sure the CPU usage is very low before

commencing the data capture.
Task B1: Data capture – (5 marks)
Take measurements on how long it takes to complete the processing for N=1 to N=8 different thread scenarios. The applications prints out the

number of seconds for each of the N threads. Create a table in Excel and insert the longest time in seconds in the table for each scenario.

Plot a line graph with N=number of threads on the x-axis and the longest time it took to complete the processing on the y-axis. Copy the

populated table and line graph into your answer sheet.
Threads 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Time to complete (sec) all cores 175 seconds 176 seconds 105 seconds 154 seconds 105 seconds 104 seconds 105

seconds 104 seconds

Task B2: Analysis – (5 marks)
Describe how the OS scheduler is distributing the processing between different CPU cores. This can be observed in the performance tab of the

task manager. How many CPU cores are busy? Give an explanation of your observations. How efficient is the computer system at handling the

increasing processing demand? Substantiate your answer by referring to the graph from task B1.
Part C – Multi-threading
Currently the application is performing the same calculations for all threads. The aim of multithreading is to share and distribute the

processing over several CPU cores in order to reduce the overall processing time.
Task C1: Data capture – (10 marks)
Modify the MultiThreading.java application so that the processing of the 100 million calculations is divided up between two and then four

threads equally. Make use of the thread id member variable to distinguish between threads in the run method.
Take measurements (max time to completion for all threads) and populate the table below when the processing is divided between 1,2, and 4

threads. Take the max time to completion for each of those configurations and add them to the table below.
Proposed table layout:
Threads 1 2 4

Copy the data into an Excel spreadsheet and plot a line graph. Copy the table and the line graph into your answer sheet.
Task C2: Analysis – (10 marks)
Comment on the efficiency of the application’s ability to process the data in parallel. Substantiate your answer by referring to the graph you

plotted for task C1 and by performing some additional calculations such as for the speedup when using 2 and 4 threads. Provide an explanation

for your observations. What are the potential limitations for parallel processing? Discuss Amdahl’s Law in this context.

Portfolio Inv estment Project – Instructions
The objectiv e of this project is for you to manage your own portfolio by inv esting $1 million
of your imaginary money in any stocks, options, or futuresthat are traded on the following exchanges: New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ or
American Stock Exchange. You can maintain a portion of your money in risk-free money market fundsthat will earn 2% APR. You can also
execute short selling and trade on margin at an APR of 8%.
The investment project starts when you open an account in ‘Inv estopedia’ and
invest $1 000000 in a portfolio of securities on July 3oth. You are then expected to take buy, sell or hold decisionsthroughout each week
over an investment period of eight weeks. At the end of each week, you will be required to compute your portfolio’s holding period rate of
return, HPR, for the use in the performance evaluation part of the project. The formula for computing the weekly HPR is:

For example,the value of your portfolio at t= 0 7
(which is July 31st) will be US$1000000. Using Closing pricesfor Mondag, Au%ust7th, if the market v alue of your portfolio is
US$1 0200 0,then your HPR in week 1 will be [(US$1020000 /US$1 0 0,00 ) – 1] = 0.02 = 2%. PLEASE NOTE that it is absolutely vital for
you to compute your weekly HPR’s for each of the nine weeks of trading. In addition, you should also monitor the performance of various
stock marketsto develop a sense of what is happening and to serve as possible benchmarks when ev aluating your performance. I recommend that
éoui’computedweekly HPR’s for the MSCI World Index as well as some of the following: NIKKEI 225 Index; FTSE 100 Index; Australian All

r inanes n ex.
You are to perform the role of a portfolio manager whose performance will be judged againstthe MSCI World Index – which
meansthat you will be evaluated against a highly diversified equity portfolio. Your report should be written to your boss- as a report on 5
your performance over the eight weeks.
YOUR REPORT SHOULD CONTAIN THE FOLLOWING:
1. A printout of the nine-week trading summary
obtained from your ‘Inv estopedia’ trading
account, attached as an appendix. This should indicate that you hav e engaged in active trading
throughout the entire eight weeks period. If this is not attached, you will get zero marks.
2. Atable with the eight weekly returns which T
converted into monthly returns.
3. The arithmetic av erage and standard deviation of your monthly returns, together with the arithmetic
average and standard deviation of the monthly returns of the MSCI World
Index.
4. The geometric mean of the monthly returns of your
wrtfolio as well asfor the MSCI

oddlndex.

5. Two approachesto evaluating your performance:
(i) Evaluate your performance
relative to the total risk of the portfolio. This would
be the case, if you were the only portfolio manager your
boss employed.
II
galuate your performance relative to either systematic risk or residual risk.
This would be the case, if you were one of many portfolio
managers your boss
employed.

It is imc ortant to evaluate thereturns of our . ortfolio under both these a . roaches. 7
if?
6. For the approach
that assumesthat total risk is relevantto your client, you should:
(i) Show a graph of the CML and indicate where the portfolio is
located.
(ii) Report the Sharpe ratio for your portfolio.
(iii) Report the Sharpe ratio for the MSCI World Index.
(iv) Indicate the M2
measure for your portfolio.
(v) Report the proportion of your portfolio’s risk that is systematic, which will
require that you compute
the R2 of the Characteristic Line estimate.
7. For the approach that assumes only systematic risk is relevant to your client,
you
should:
(i) Show a graph of portfolio’s Characteristic Line.
(ii) Indicate the beta of your portfolio together with a reference to
its statistical
significance.
(iii) Provide a graph of the Security Market Line and show where your portfolio lies.
siv) Provide the
reynor measure for your portfolio.
(v) Provide the Treynor measure for the MSCI World Index.
NOTE: In addition to the theories, concepts
and techniques that will be developed in this unit, you will need to employ some statistical procedures such as ordinary least squares
estimation using Excel, EViews or SPSS in order to complete this assignment.
Sourcesto get the data for indices:
Values of MSCI world
Index (ticker symbol ACWI- from mini-assignment 1) as well asfor all the other required indices can be found by in “Yahoo Finance” 2
website. You can get the necessary data for the index by typing the name of the index in the box called ‘Enter symbol- Look up’.
ou

Important: My tradingreriod only have 5 weeks,l
open my account on 6 Aug but i hav e nottraded until 23rd Aug. That’s because I was watching the stock market and think it is not a good
time to invest. And i was late to open the account about 2 weeks. The trading history and portfolio data has been attached. This assignment
is a report and it is extremely important for me. Since i have lost some grade because of lost 2 weekstrading, Please help me to try you 5
bestto do well with it. I am not sure the pagesi placed whether enough for this assignment. If you have any problem with this assignment,
