As shown in the Wednesday March 3 Lecture 14 video recording which explains the 2011N W21 Assignment 2 Example posted on eClass, the performance of each algorithm for any workload, that is, the Average Waiting Time, and the Average Turnaround Time, can all be calculated with pen and paper step-by-step.

As shown in the Wednesday March 3 Lecture 14 video recording which explains the 2011N W21 Assignment 2 Example posted on eClass, the performance of each algorithm for any workload, that is, the Average Waiting Time, and the Average Turnaround Time, can all be calculated solely with pen and paper step-by-step.
-Note that, ANYTHING THAT CAN BE CALCULATED WITH PEN AND PAPER STEP-BY-STEP, CAN ALSO BE DONE BY A COMPUTER PROGRAM WRITTEN IN JAVA STEP-BY-STEP (in the same way that the Average Waiting Time, and the Average Turnaround Time was calculated with pen and paper step-by-step in the Wednesday March 3 Lecture 14).

 there is no need to get anything "to work in parallel", and there is no need to use any
 parallel programming tools such as "threads" for Assignment 2.
