Question Number 112359 by udaythool last updated on 07/Sep/20

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?
