Computation Center Lines: 22 } I believe what you're looking for is a working set scheduler. In a }nutshell, this type of scheduler pages a job against itself rather than }against the system (i.e. the pool of available pages belongs to the process }(rather than the system) and is of a size set by the system when then process }is created). Unfortunately, I can't think of an available OS that uses a WS }scheduler off the top of my head (that doesn't mean they don't exist!). Good }luck. Well, gee, how about VMS?
