Scheduling algorithms| OS | SNS Institutions

Описание: Scheduling Algorithms are techniques used by an Operating System to decide which process gets CPU time at any given moment. Since multiple processes compete for limited CPU resources, scheduling ensures efficient utilization, fairness, and improved system performance.
The primary goal of scheduling algorithms is to minimize waiting time, turnaround time, and response time while maximizing CPU utilization and throughput. Based on system requirements, different algorithms are used.
Common scheduling algorithms include:
First Come First Serve (FCFS): Executes processes in the order they arrive.
Shortest Job First (SJF): Selects the process with the shortest execution time.
Priority Scheduling: Processes are executed based on priority levels.
Round Robin (RR): Each process gets a fixed time slice in cyclic order.
Scheduling algorithms can be classified as preemptive (CPU can be taken from a running process) or non-preemptive (process runs until completion or waiting state).
Efficient scheduling plays a vital role in multitasking environments, real-time systems, and modern computing devices to ensure smooth and balanced performance.
