The state of California uses a mechanism known as NOTS.

NOTS stands for Negligent Operator Treatment System.

What is this:

It is a program that is known to rehabilitate chronic violators of the driving laws in California. It consists of a series of computer generated warning letters and sanctions against violators. It affects drivers with age 18 years old and above in California.

How it works:

The actions in this program are based on "negligent operator points" that is being recorded every time period. These are added continuously until it reaches a certain degree which it needs an administrative hearing. Points are being assigned depending on the degree of the offense. It would range from zero to three points.

1. Load Sharing: Processes are not assigned to a particular processor. A global queue of threads is maintained. Each processor, when idle, selects a thread from this queue. Note that load balancing refers to a scheme where work is allocated to processors on a more permanent basis.


2. Gang Scheduling: A set of related threads is scheduled to run on a set of processors at the same time, on a 1-to-1 basis. Closely related threads / processes may be scheduled this way to reduce synchronization blocking, and minimize process switching. Group scheduling predated this strategy.


3. Dedicated processor assignment: Provides implicit scheduling defined by assignment of threads to processors. For the duration of program execution, each program is allocated a set of processors equal in number to the number of threads in the program. Processors are chosen from the available pool.


4. Dynamic scheduling: The number of thread in a program can be altered during the course of execution.
