Suppose thread one is downloading a 800KB file while another thread is processing the same file on a single CPU machine.Suppose further that one time slice allows the first thread to download about 10KB and that the second thread can process 10KB of the file in one time slice.The second thread can process the file while it is incomplete.How many total time slices will it take for the first 10 KB to be downloaded and processed?

Since each time slice allows 10KB to be either downloaded or processed, both threads will be able to use the CPU in each time slice. Therefore, the first 10KB will take two total time slices: one for the first thread to download 10KB and another for the second thread to process 10KB of the incomplete file.
