Why is that? Does it make any sense to talk about the turnaround time for an interactive process?
Turnaround time doesn’t make sense for interactive processes because the amount of time they take to run is directly affected by the actions of the user. Given that we are dealing only with batch processes now, how can you decrease the turnaround time? On a batch system you can run the programs faster. There is no way we can do that without changing the hardware. In a batch system there is no way. Is there anything we could do in a timesharing system? Increase the time slice. Processes will use up their entire time slice and will require fewer time slices to finish. This will let them finish faster thus reducing the turnaround time. What happens if you increase the duration of the time slice? It increases the response time. Should you favor turnaround time or response time? Depends on what your system is doing! Maximize Throughput How can we measure throughput? Divide number of jobs finished by the amount of time it took to finish them. N / (Total Time) How can you maximize throughput?
