Subj : how to find the CPU burst time (ie) CPU execution time - simple explanation needed To : comp.os.ms-windows,comp.os.linux,comp.os.linux.misc,comp.programming From : thegreatkarthik Date : Mon Aug 16 2004 07:46 am ++sir, I want to know how processor is finding the execution time - CPU Burst time. I know that there r lot of scheduling alg.. but in all these alg.. there are with input data ( CPU burst time) I don't want comparison of alg.. I want how CPU execution time is calculated. Moreover one more question instead of taking time for calculating a complex process's CPU burst time why can't we go for scheduling To me calculating CPU burst time is a time taking process & its also needs CPU resource & its overload to CPU. One more questions I tried tooooooooo hard to download Borland C++ but none of search engine help me.tried borland.com ,downloads.com . nothing helped me. Please help me to solve these issues. THKS in advance ............. karthik .
