Project Scheduling and Task Management

The video tutorial explains the list processing algorithm for scheduling tasks using three processors. It outlines the steps to identify ready tasks, assign them to processors, and mark their progress and completion. The tutorial demonstrates the process with a project example, highlighting task priorities, processor assignments, and idle times. The total project time is calculated, and specific task assignments are reviewed.

What is the first step in applying the list processing algorithm?

• Mark tasks as complete

• Assign tasks to processors

• Move forward in time

• Circle all ready tasks

Which task is assigned to the first available processor?

• Task 3

• Task 1

• Task 2

• Task 4

After how many hours does Task 1 become complete?

• 10 hours

• 2 hours

• 5 hours

• 3 hours

Which task becomes ready after Task 3 is completed?

• Task 7

• Task 5

• Task 6

• Task 8

What happens when there are no tasks to assign to a processor?

• The processor is shut down

• The processor is replaced

• The processor is reassigned

• The processor remains idle

Which task is assigned to processor 1 after Task 6 is completed?

• Task 10

• Task 8

• Task 9

• Task 7

What is the total project time for the schedule?

• 17 hours

• 29 hours

• 23 hours

• 31 hours

Which task is completed last in the project schedule?

• Task 10

• Task 9

• Task 5

• Task 8

At what time does Task 10 start?

• 17 hours

• 31 hours

• 29 hours

• 23 hours

Which processor remains idle the most during the project?

• Processor 1

• Processor 2

• Processor 3

• All processors equally
