Hello guys. :)

It's me again after a loooong while. I'll get right to it then.

I have to make a program that shows what procedure a processor goes through to assign it's time to each individual process the user is running.

For instance:

A user would click "Round Robin" or "Shortest Job First" and a new form would come up. In this new form you would give each process a name and how much time it needs in order to complete itself. Also how long the Quantum is and if there is commutation while switching between processes.

My problem lies in that I don't know HOW to represent it visually. I just need the idea and then I could program it.

tl;dr I NEED YOUR BRAINZZZZzzzz. :P

Hope you guys can share some of your ideas. :)

A circle and a line sound about right for the visualisation,

a->b->c for shortest

with a circle with points for round robin..
