Suppose a job consists of n tasks
each of which takes time t
seconds. Thus if there are no
failuers the sum over all computed
nodes of the time taken to
execute tasks at that node is nt.
Sppose also that the probability
of a task failing is p per job per
second and when a task fails the
overhead of management of the
restart is such that it adds 10t
seconds to the total execution
time of the job. What is the total
expected execution time of the
job?
Let Ω denote the circumcircle of ABC.
The tangent to Ω at A meets BC at X.
Let the angle bisectors of ∠AXB meet
AC and AB at E and F
respectively. D is the foot of the angle
bisector from ∠BAC on BC. Let AD
intersect EF at K and Ω again at
L(other than A). Prove that AEDF is
a rhombus and further prove that the
circle defined by triangle KLX passes
through the midpoint of line segment
BC.
