- IN-CLASS QUESTIONS & ANSWERS:

  1. Question: How can you tell which hold queue a job goes to?
     Answer:   Hold Queues are based on Priority.
	       Hold 1 is for priority 1 etc.

  2. Scenario: Ready Queue is empty. Jobs in the long queue are
               running. A new job comes into Ready.
     What happen next?
               The new job will stop the currently running job
               immediately and gets a new timeslice. And all 
               other jobs in the ready go back to long.

  3. If an job is running between its timeslice when a new job
     comes in, what will happen?
     - If no job in the Ready Queue is long, the new job simply
       goes to the end of Ready Queue and won't distrub the
       currently running job.
     - If the running job is a long job, it gets distrubed and
       goes back to long. The new job gets a new timeslice.

  4. Different types of Internal events: End of Timeslice,
                                        Completion;
     Different types of External events: Arrival,
                                         Display.

  5. Threshold don't have to be a multiple of the timeslice.

  6. A job is considered long if its acrrued time is greater
     than or equal to the long job threshold.

  7. It's possible that the long job threshold equals to zero.
     In this case, when a new jobs comes in, it'll will disturb
     the currently running job and gets a timeslice to run. After
     that, it'll go to the end of the long queue.
