The round-robin scheduling algorithm allocates CPU time to processes by sequentially assigning the CPU to processes of equal priority that are in the state of being able to use the CPU. (Not blocked) This works by appearing to evenly distribute the CPU amongst CPU ready processes. Processes that are waiting on something, such as an I/O event, particularly waiting on the user to press Enter, are not considered for allocation. Often, there is a priority assigned to the process, which factors in the allocation strategy. Processes that are mostly I/O intensive tend to have higher priority, giving them good response time. Processes that are mostly CPU intensive tend to have lower priority, so they don't interfere with overall system responsiveness.
Round robin is the scheduling algorithm that is utilized by the CPU, or central processing unit, during the execution of the process. It is specifically designed for time sharing systems.
Pure round robin scheduling processes A, then B, then C, then starts at A again. (A, B, C might be tasks in an operating system context, or devices in a master/slave control network, or whatever.) That is, pure round robin scheduling doesn't acknowledge priorities, and does not allow out-of-order processing. Real-life systems typically use a mixture of algorithms that, together, allow for prioritized and out-of-order processing while, on the other hand, trying to prevent starvation of lower priority items.
cicular queue :D if you want to implement the round robin you need the data structure of circular queue so that when we give the time quantum for the processes then if that process is complete in that time period then its ok but if not then we have to put that process in the queue so that all other processes are also get the time to execute i.e. to remove starvation
The size of the Time Quantum
A round robin algorithm processes a number of tasks, steps or items one by one in a cyclic fashion like so:1. For N items, n=0, 2, 3, ..., N-1, let nbe 0.2. Process step (item, task) n3. Compute n = (n+1) % N, where % is the modulo operator (the remainder of integer division)4. Proceed to step 2.

Round robin is the scheduling algorithm that is utilized by the CPU, or central processing unit, during the execution of the process. It is specifically designed for time sharing systems.
A variant of round robin scheduling is called selfish round robin scheduling. In selfish round robin, there is a maximum limit on the number of processes that can be placed in the round-robin queue (including the process being executed by the CPU). After that maximum is reached, newly entering processes are placed on a holding queue. Processes in the holding queue do not get any time slice of the CPU. When a process in the round-robin queue completes and leaves the system, the oldest process in the holding queue is allowed to enter the round-robin queue
It is the most simple scheduling algorithmn It is easy to implement in software If the processes are of varied length then it becomes slow.
its the algorithm that tells the os what to process next.goes according to :shortest job firstshortest remaining time firstround robin- first in first out system
Yes, it is one of many scheduling algorithms suitable for time sharing.However it is not suitable for scheduling in a hard realtime OS that must consistently meet deadlines.
Pure round robin scheduling processes A, then B, then C, then starts at A again. (A, B, C might be tasks in an operating system context, or devices in a master/slave control network, or whatever.) That is, pure round robin scheduling doesn't acknowledge priorities, and does not allow out-of-order processing. Real-life systems typically use a mixture of algorithms that, together, allow for prioritized and out-of-order processing while, on the other hand, trying to prevent starvation of lower priority items.
It is a Computer Science term. Two-level scheduling is needed when memory is too small to hold all the ready processes. Some set of them is put into memory, and a choice is made from that set. From time to time the set of in-core processes is adjusted. This algorithm is easy to implement and reasonably efficient, certainly a lot better than, say, round robin without regard to whether the process was in memory or not.
The round robin scheduling algorithm works by placing all processes in a circular queue and allotting each process a single time slice until all processes are completed. If process A required 2 time slices, process B required 1 time slice, and process C required 3 time slices the queue would be as follows: A > B > C > A > C > C.
One is weighted, the other is not. Simple as.
The circular queue data structure is required to implement the round robin scheduling policy. Round robin is similar to FCFS scheduling.
It's an algorithm that is used for CPU schedulers.
