  • Abstract
    A fixed number of processes (users) share a common resource. Each process is described by a Markov chain with a "thinking" state and a "request" for service state. A policy is a preemptive scheme that assigns the resource to one of the simultaneously requesting processes. The policy that maximizes resource utilization assigns the resource to the process with least thinking time.
