Consider the following sentence

Consider a uniprocessor system executing three tasks T1,T2 and T3 each of which is composed of an infinite sequence of jobs which arrive periodically at intervals of 3, 7 and 20 milliseconds, respectively.

What does the which in the above sentence refer to ?

What my thinking is...

T1 comprises of infinite jobs says J1 ,J2,J3 etc . Similary T2(J1,J2,J3..) and T3(J1,J2,J3...) Then Is

T1 is : 0,3,6,9 , 12 or

T1 is :0,3,7,20,23,27,40....?

When which refer to each job instances of T1 then it should be 0,3,7,20,23.. etc

When which refer to each job instances of 3 tasks then T1 should be 0,3,6,9,12 etc.

PS: I need to know what does which referring to as well as the value of T1 according to your interpretation of which

Consider a uniprocessor system executing

  • three tasks T1,T2 and T3 each of
  • which is composed of an
  • infinite sequence of jobs
    • which arrive periodically at intervals of 3, 7 and 20 milliseconds,
    • respectively.

Hope this should be clear. i.e., correct interpretation should be the first one. I'm not good in English but 'respectively' is enough to avoid any ambiguity here.
