In scheduling vocabulary, processors mean
the people or machines that will carry out the work
an indivisible unit of work that cannot (by nature or by choice) cannot be broken up into smaller units.
the CPUs that drive the computers that the software runs on
the people who process the required forms
In scheduling vocabulary, task mean
the machine that will carry out the work
an indivisible unit of work that cannot (by nature or by choice) cannot be broken up into smaller units.
the item that must be completed on a to do list
to delegate work
The status of a task is always in one of four states. Which of the following is not one of those official states:
Ineligible
Completed
Working on
Ready
T/F: two processors can do a task faster than one processor
True
False
P5 implies there are
at most five processors
at least five processors
exactly five processors
one processor named P5
In scheduling vocabulary, the trait of versatility means
The task can't be started until its prerequisite tasks are completed first.
The processing time for a task is the same regardless of which processor is completing it.
Once a processor starts a task, it will complete it without interruption.
Any processor can execute any task
In scheduling vocabulary, the trait of uniformity means
The task can't be started until its prerequisite tasks are completed first.
The processing time for a task is the same regardless of which processor is completing it.
Once a processor starts a task, it will complete it without interruption.
Any processor can execute any task
In scheduling vocabulary, the trait of persistence means
The task can't be started until its prerequisite tasks are completed first.
The processing time for a task is the same regardless of which processor is completing it.
Once a processor starts a task, it will complete it without interruption.
Any processor can execute any task
The notation that tells us that task Z takes 3 units of time to complete is
Z3
Z3
Zx3
Z(3)
the amount of time without interruption required by one processor to execute that task is called the
task time
work time
processing time
nap time
In scheduling notation, D -> F means
Person D must start before person F
Task D is a part of task F
Task D must be started before task F can be started
Task D must be completed before task F can be started
Every project has an absolute minimal time that depends on the processing times and precedence relations for the task and not on the number of processors used. this is called
shortest time
critical time
best time
least pay time
