The Atlas computer was developed by Tom Kilburn, an inventor and professor at the University of Manchester. Kilburn and his team began working on Atlas in 1956 and continued to develop it until it was ...

This repository hosts a C++ implementation of a multiprogramming operating system simulation. The OS efficiently handles various jobs, manages errors like time limit exceeded and line limit exceeded, ...

Abstract: This paper investigates some of the effects of varying the number of central processing units (CPU's) available to a multiprogramming system both when parallel processing of a single task ...

ABSTRACT: It is well known, in queueing theory, that the system performance is greatly influenced by scheduling policy. No universal optimum scheduling strategy exists in systems where individual ...
