User data: Modifiable part of user space. May include
program data, user stack area, and programs that may be
modified.
User program: The instructions to be executed.
System Stack: Each process has one or more LIFO stacks
associated with it. Used to store parameters and calling
addresses for procedure and system calls.

Measurements of a certain system have shown that the average process runs for a time T before blocking on I/O. A process switch requires a time S, which is effectively wasted (overhead). The CPU’s efficiency is the fraction of its time its spends executing user programs, i.e., executing user processes. For round robin scheduling with quantum Q, give a formula for the CPU efficiency for each of the following: (a) Q = ∞ (b) Q > S + T (c) S <Q<S + T (d) Q = S
