I'm investigating CPU scheduling policies and I'd like to survey the methods used by various operating systems to determine whether a process is compute bound, (disk) I/O bound, interactive, heavy storage user, heavy pager, etc. I'm using the word "process" to refer to any dispatchable unit of work for which CPU priority scheduling decisions are made, e.g. the traditional Unix user process or the IBM VM/XA virtual machine address space. Can anyone provide references to work on dynamic process characterization techniques? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tom Murray tom@cs.clemson.edu Computer Science Department Clemson University
