In a uniprocessor system with n processes, how many different ways are there to schedule an execution path?

What will be an ideal response?


The answer depends on whether the scheduler is preemptive or not. If it is not preemptive, then there are n! possible ways the processes can be scheduled. However, if it is preemptive, then there are an extremely large number of ways that the processes can be interleaved because the quantum size can vary.
