What are three examples of general reference materials?

Write a function processpeople() that takes the name of a file as a parameter. each line of the file corresponds to information about a person. in particular a line contains either a name (in the form lastname,firstname with no spaces in it) or a name (lastname,firstname) and a year. the function will process the file, creating a person object for each line in the file. the function will print information about each line as it processes it, as well as appending the new person object into a list. make sure to use person methods to display information rather than recreating the work you did for the first problem. once the entire file has been processed, the function returns the list of person objects created from the file. if the file is empty, the function should return an empty list. if the input file cannot be opened, the function should print a message to that effect and then return an empty list. the following shows what would be displayed for two example files which have been provided in the link. the file none.txt does not exist. note that your function must work on an arbitrary file that consists of valid lines. you cannot assume anything about the file except that it contains lines that have the format described above.

Scientists have changed the model of the atom as they have gathered new evidence. one of the atomic models is shown below. what experimental evidence led to the development of this atomic model from the one before it? a few of the positive particles aimed at a gold foil seemed to bounce back. the colors of light emitted from heated atoms had very specific energies. experiments with water vapor showed that elements combine in specific proportions. cathode rays were bent in the same way whenever a magnet was brought near them.

When making changes to optimize part of a processor, it is often the case that speeding up one type of instruction comes at the cost of slowing down something else. for example, if we put in a complicated fast floating-point unit, that takes space, and something might have to be moved farther away from the middle to accommodate it, adding an extra cycle in delay to reach that unit. the basic amdahl's law equation does not take into account this trade-off. a. if the new fast floating-point unit speeds up floating-point operations by, on average, 2ă—, and floating-point operations take 20% of the original program's execution time, what is the overall speedup (ignoring the penalty to any other instructions)? b. now assume that speeding up the floating-point unit slowed down data cache accesses, resulting in a 1.5ă— slowdown (or 2/3 speedup). data cache accesses consume 10% of the execution time. what is the overall speedup now? c. after implementing the new floating-point operations, what percentage of execution time is spent on floating-point operations? what percentage is spent on data cache accesses?
