Question: We have a 5-way SMP (A Symmetric Multi Processor computer with 5 identical CPUs that share the same main memory). We still have one printer.

We have a 5-way SMP (A Symmetric Multi Processor computer with 5 identical CPUs that share the same main memory). We still have one printer. The five subtasks related to printing are fully parallelizable and thus can take advantage of the 5-way SMP machine's processors. The graphics task is also fully parallelizable and thus can keep all 5 CPU busy all the time by splitting evenly its work. Assume no overhead is incurred in such a splitting and processor reassignment. What is the turnaround time Tr(J) of J in s ? Tr(J)= What is the processor utilization CPU(J) ? Provide it in the form of a fractional CPU(J)=E/F=E/31 where F is given to you and thus you only need to provide E=
