  2. Round-robin scheduling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round-robin_scheduling

    A Round Robin preemptive scheduling example with quantum=3. Round-robin (RR) is one of the algorithms employed by process and network schedulers in computing. [1] [2] As the term is generally used, time slices (also known as time quanta) [3] are assigned to each process in equal portions and in circular order, handling all processes without priority (also known as cyclic executive).

  3. Proportional-fair scheduling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportional-fair_scheduling

    Proportional-fair scheduling is a compromise-based scheduling algorithm. It is based upon maintaining a balance between two competing interests: Trying to maximize the total throughput of the network (wired or not) while at the same time allowing all users at least a minimal level of service. This is done by assigning each data flow a data rate ...

  4. Little's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little's_law

    For example: A queue depth meter shows an average of nine jobs waiting to be serviced. Add one for the job being serviced, so there is an average of ten jobs in the system. Another meter shows a mean throughput of 50 per second. The mean response time is calculated as 0.2 seconds = 10 / 50 per second.

  5. Scheduling (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheduling_(computing)

    The scheduler is an operating system module that selects the next jobs to be admitted into the system and the next process to run. Operating systems may feature up to three distinct scheduler types: a long-term scheduler (also known as an admission scheduler or high-level scheduler), a mid-term or medium-term scheduler, and a short-term scheduler.

  6. Turnaround time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turnaround_time

    Lead Time vs Turnaround Time: Lead Time is the amount of time, defined by the supplier or service provider, that is required to meet a customer request or demand. [5] Lead-time is basically the time gap between the order placed by the customer and the time when the customer get the final delivery, on the other hand the Turnaround Time is in order to get a job done and deliver the output, once ...

  7. Fairness measure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairness_measure

    rates the fairness of a set of values where there are users, is the throughput for the th connection, and ^ is the sample coefficient of variation. The result ranges from 1 n {\displaystyle {\tfrac {1}{n}}} (worst case) to 1 (best case), and it is maximum when all users receive the same allocation.

  8. Concurrent computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrent_computing

    Concurrent computing is a form of computing in which several computations are executed concurrently —during overlapping time periods—instead of sequentially— with one completing before the next starts. This is a property of a system—whether a program, computer, or a network —where there is a separate execution point or "thread of ...

  9. Measuring network throughput - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measuring_network_throughput

    Reasons for measuring throughput in networks. People are often concerned about measuring the maximum data throughput in bits per second of a communications link or network access. A typical method of performing a measurement is to transfer a 'large' file from one system to another system and measure the time required to complete the transfer or ...
