Models of Pure time-sharing disciplines for resource allocation
E. G. Coffman, Richard R. Muntz · 1969
Pure time sharing (PTS) disciplines are those which involve in some way the simultaneous sharing of a processor or other service facility by more than one job at a time. Implicit is the requirement that the total processor capacity is fixed so that individual job processing rates are reduced according as the number of jobs sharing the processor increases. In this paper the general class of such disciplines is surveyed and studied by the investigation of the behavior of mathematical models.
