A mathematical derivation of expected response time is presented for selected cyclic and priority scheduling disciplines, thereby demonstrating analytic techniques which may be utilized to evaluate such servicing doctrines. To illustrate the constant time quantum (round-robin) results, a hypothetical system is defined and resolved.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
