What would an example of a set of tasks be, where RMFF, RMNF and P-Fair all result in a different number of processors required?
Rate Monotonic First Fit vs. Rate Monotonic Next Fit vs. Proportionate Fair
runtime analysis;parallel computing;scheduling;real time;multi tasking
Look at it this way.RMFF- Places Task one after the other until the processor goes beyond the boundRMNF - Looks at all the processors and see where the task will fit P-Fair - Uses max utilization of 1 for each processor.RM can only use N(2^(1/N)-1), this means that both RM will have a different value than P-Fair when utilization is between that value and its upper bound.As for the RMFF, RMNF just think about it and play with the numbers and you will find answer. Make up task and start placing them according to both methods.P.S: 2 more hours? Hope it helped.
