You assumed queue existence. Good assumption for z/OS and most other
systems, but has no meaning from CPU perspective.

A system without a queue has no delays.  At that point the only improvement
possible would be a faster architecture.

I can imagine a system with structure other than queue. And can imagine some optimization to reduce CPU usage, especially in peaks.

I would argue that it isn't likely that anyone posting on this forum is
doing a capacity plan for an MS-DOS based system.

Yes, the thread origin was about capacity planning, although it wasn't clearly stated I'm also pretty sure it was about mainframe, likely z/OS, but not MS-DOS.

HOWEVER we discuss about what is CPU utilization.
I sustain that it is term related to the CPU. CPU can work under various OSes, even without OS (in the popular meaning of OS). Your car has CPU(s), CAM drivers/controllers have CPUs, FICON cards have CPUs. All those CPUs do have some utilization. The measurement of CPU utilisation for those CPUs cannot be done by using your terms. Such CPUs are absolutely unrelated to the IBM-MAIN, but I don't think there is separate, special measurement for mainframe or z/OS or even IBM-MAIN.


So, again CPU utilization is pattern of NOP/usable instructions. I has reliationship to dispatching, probability of the task for being dispatched, etc. but itself it's NOT probability of dispathing any given task.
