Consider the following sentence

Consider a uniprocessor system executing three tasks T1,T2 and T3 each of which is composed of an infinite sequence of jobs which arrive periodically at intervals of 3, 7 and 20 milliseconds, respectively.

What does the which in the above sentence refer to ?

What my thinking is...

T1 comprises of infinite jobs says J1 ,J2,J3 etc . Similary T2(J1,J2,J3..) and T3(J1,J2,J3...) Then Is

T1 is : 0,3,6,9 , 12 or

T1 is :0,3,7,20,23,27,40....?

When which refer to each job instances of T1 then it should be 0,3,7,20,23.. etc

When which refer to each job instances of 3 tasks then T1 should be 0,3,6,9,12 etc.

PS: I need to know what does which referring to as well as the value of T1 according to your interpretation of which

Consider a uniprocessor system executing

  • three tasks T1,T2 and T3 each of
  • which is composed of an
  • infinite sequence of jobs
    • which arrive periodically at intervals of 3, 7 and 20 milliseconds,
    • respectively.

Hope this should be clear. i.e., correct interpretation should be the first one. I'm not good in English but 'respectively' is enough to avoid any ambiguity here.

Arrange the sentences in a proper sequence so as to make a coherent paragraph. A. In emission trading, the government fixes the total amount of pollution that is acceptable to maintain a desired level of air quality. B. Economists argue that this approach makes air pollution control more costeffective than the current practice of fixing air-pollution standards and expecting all companies to pollute below these standards. C. The USA uses emissions trading to control air pollution. D. It then distributes emission permits to all companies in the region, which add up to the overall acceptable level of emission.
