CPU 0 will be left idle

As a result, CPU 0 will be left idle! (insert dramatic and sinister music here) And hence our CPU usage timeline looks sad: CPU 0 CPU 1 B B D D B B D D B B D D ... So what should a poor multi-queue multiprocessor scheduler do? How can we overcome the insidious problem of load imbalance and defeat the evil forces of ... the Decepticons¹? How do we stop asking questions that are hardly relevant to this otherwise wonderful book? ¹Little known fact is that the home planet of Cybertron was destroyed by bad CPU scheduling decisions. And now let that be the first and last reference to Transformers in this book, for which we sincerely apologize. OPERATING SYSTEMS [VERSION 1.00] WWW.OSTEP.ORG

На странице книги по операционным системам шутливо показано, что CPU 0 простаивает, пока CPU 1 циклически выполняет задачи B и D. Автор преувеличивает проблему дисбаланса нагрузки и внезапно сравнивает её с силами Десептиконов из «Трансформеров», а сноска притворно извиняется за это отступление. EN: A page from an operating systems book humorously shows CPU 0 sitting idle while CPU 1 repeatedly performs tasks B and D. The author exaggerates the load-imbalance problem and suddenly compares it to the forces of the Decepticons from Transformers, while the footnote mock-apologizes for the digression.
