Abstract:The scheduling of jobs for multiprogramming systems includes the selection of jobs to be loaded into memory (job loading policy or memory schedule) and the scheduling for CPU processing (CPU schedule). There has been a successful empirical claim for the optimal CPU schedule; its optimality has been proved in a Markovian model of job-stream processing that uses the first-come-first-loaded (FCFL) job loading policy. We extend this model to gain insight into the effects of job loading policies.The model studied c… Show more
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.
