Process Scheduling where to start
Hello, i'm absolutely new to the whole Operating Systems thing. I am pretty much level 0.

My assignment is to "simulate the execution of a stream of processes by a computer system, one CPU, many terminals 12 disk drives, 30 public mailboxes.

The professor runs a series of inputs which is a sequence of lines as in:

NDISKS 5
DISTKTIME 20
NBOXES 32
START 15
ect..

The program needs to read input queue and load into main memory the first process in the input file. Processes should be managed in a FIFO order.


So basically can anyone give me some resources or a general idea as to where to even start..

Thanks

MIXAL(1)							Mixal user's manual							  MIXAL(1)

NAME

       mixal - a load-and-go MIX assembler

SYNOPSIS

       mixal [ file ...  ]

DESCRIPTION

       Mixal  is  an  implementation of the hypothetical MIX computer and its assembly language called MIXAL.  The computer was designed by Donald
       Knuth for use in his monumental and yet to be finished book series The Art of Computer Programming.  All programs and all programming exer-
       cises in the book are written in the MIXAL language.

       This  implementation  is  a  load-and-go  assembler,  meaning that you provide it with a MIXAL program source, which it translates into MIX
       machine code, which it promptly executes by acting as a MIX emulator.

       You give Mixal zero or more program source files in the command line, which the program interprets.   If  you  give  it	no  arguments,	it
       expects	to  find  a  program  in  the standard input stream.  After the program has executed, the final state of the machine registers are
       printed to the standard output stream.

       The card punch and line printer devices are connected to the standard input and output stream, respectively.  Console input and output  are
       connected  to  standard	input and output, and the disk devices are connected to files named diskN in the current directory, where N is the
       device number.  Those files are created on demand.

BUGS

       This MIXAL implementation does not do floating-point.  The tape devices are not implemented.

AUTHOR

       This MIXAL implementation was designed and written by Darius Bacon, and then ported to Unixish systems and debugged  by	Eric  S.  Raymond.
       This  version includes corrections to multiplication and division by Larry Gately.  This manual page was written for Debian by Antti-Juhani
       Kaijanaho, with changes by Darius Bacon.

SEE ALSO

       The files /usr/share/doc/mixal/READ.ME and /usr/share/doc/mixal/NOTES.gz contain some information about this MIXAL implementation.  Be sure
       to read /usr/share/doc/mixal/README.Debian, too.

       A  description  of  the MIX system and the MIXAL language can be found in Donald E. Knuth's book The Art of Computer Programming, Volume 1:
       Fundamental   Algorithms;   3rd	 Edition   (Addison-Wesley   1997).    (Or   see   the	 home	 page	 at    http://www-cs-faculty.stan-
       ford.edu/%7Eknuth/taocp.html.)
