Notches is hiring developers . We’re looking to bring on developers to be part of the core engineering team. We want people that can contribute to the product in a myriad of ways beyond coding. We want people who can ask the tough questions and challenge us. We want people who are not afraid to take...

I've said it all before in recent posts, but here it is again - CPUSS is a framework that allows you to design and analyse CPU scheduling algorithms. Download CPUSS 1.0 There is a tonne of stuff in CPUSS! Most of which is not exposed by the report generation tool (CPUSSRG). Using the CPUSS API ...

Download CPUSS 0.9! In this release I have fixed a few things, as well as added a few new minor features to make analysis of scheduling algorithms a lot quicker, some of which include: CPU Utilization % Turnaround times for each process Response times for each process Throughout time windows I have also...

Download CPUSS 0.8 Beta 2 Beta 2 is not really very revolutionary, however it does add some tooling support to CPUSS: CPUSS Report Generator (cpussrg.exe) CPUSSRG This is a little tool that allows you to invoke a strategy against some specified processes, and then view a HTML report of the simulation...

Download CPUSS A few new things in this release: Command line report generator Variance and standard deviation methods that take predicate functions as args Repeat runner Html report generator Graphing support Download CPUSS Note: since I added a reference to NPlot in SHFB the XMLDoc's are reported as...

Download CPUSS 0.6 Some cool new features added in this release, they include: Variance Standard Deviation CPU Busy Time CPU Idle Time Get average wait time for a category of process (this uses a predicate function) I am tempted to say that this build is pretty much feature complete, any further additions...

Download CPUSS 0.5 I got bored today (I really should be preparing for stuff I have coming up in the next few days!!) looking at random stuff in preparation for the next few days, so I broke off for a while and decided to finish up CPUSS 0.5 release which contains: Process resumed event Min/Max wait...

Download CPUSS 0.4 A fairly minor release with a little work cleaning the API up a little by reducing ambiguity (definition of ProcessLoad, and Pairs collections). Also added an event that allows you to subscribe to process preemption, as well as scattered priorities for auto generated process loads...

The SJF Expert Rule strategy is designed to elevate the priority of large processes based on a precondition defined by the user, that basically says if the current % of processes in the ready queue is greater than N then execute some of the large processes thus elevating their priorities. SJF is as you...

Data Structures and Algorithms (my project on CodePlex ) has been an awesome success to date, and continues to grow with every increment and I couldn't be happier about it. First I must say that for me DSA is really a side side project, so increments tend to be fairly slow (think one month increments...
