Quotations
548 ;;Quote: a monitor is a scheduler for a resource with associated data and procedures; serves only one program at a time; organizes the critical regions
549 ;;Quote: use wait and signal operations inside a monitor to wait for other resources
557 ;;Quote: never seek optimal scheduling; merely avoid persistently pessibal decisions
557 ;;Quote: never develop a virtual machine that is better than actual hardware; instead pass on the speed, compactness, and flat structure of a simple hardware design
557 ;;Quote: use preemptive scheduling where possible; use grain of time to secure independence
557 ;;Quote: when scheduling, keep a low variance and mean on waiting times
557 ;;Quote: when scheduling, ensure that every program makes progress; avoid fixed priorities and infinite overtaking
