Consider a set of $$n$$ tasks with known runtimes $${r_1},{r_2},.....\,{r_n}\,\,$$ to be run on a uniprocessor machine. Which of the following processor scheduling algorithms will result in the maximum throughput?.

System calls are usually invoked by using:

Which of the following is an example of spooled device?

Consider $$n$$ processes sharing the $$CPU$$ in a round-robin fashion. Assuming that each process switch takes $$s$$ seconds, what must be the quantum size $$q$$ such that the overhead resulting from process switching is minimized but, at the same time each process is guaranteed to get its turn at the $$CPU$$ at least every $$t$$ seconds?
