About n processes are time-sharing the CPU, each requiring T ms of CPU time to complete. The context switching overhead is S ms.
(a) What should be the quantum size Q such that the gap between the end of one quantum and the start of the next quantum of any process does not exceed M ms? (b) For n = 5, S = 10, and M = 450, M = 90, M = 50, determine: The corresponding values of Q The percentage of CPU time wasted on context switching
1 answer:
Answer:
(a) Q = (M-(1-n)S)/n
(b)
When M = 450,
Q = 82
% CPU time wasted = 8.889%
When M = 90,
Q = 10
% CPU time wasted = 44.44%
When M = 50,
Q = 2
% CPU time wasted = 80%
Explanation:
Given Data:
n = process
T = ms time
Context switch time overhead = S
and M is total overhead
