its the algorithm that tells the os what to process next.
goes according to :
scheduling algorithm
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.
The priority scheduling algorithm is a kind of CPU scheduling algorithm where the processes that wait for the CPU are scheduled according to their priority..
Priority based algorithm
Several operating systems are capable of functioning in a distributed manner, including Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, and Mac OS X.
Windows XP uses a quantum-based, preemptive priority scheduling algorithm
same as linux use.
The most efficient algorithm for optimizing task allocation and resource utilization in scheduling problems is the Genetic Algorithm. This algorithm mimics the process of natural selection to find the best solution by evolving a population of potential solutions over multiple generations. It is known for its ability to handle complex and dynamic scheduling problems effectively.
The Least Slack Time scheduling algorithm is used for assigning priority based on the slack time (temporal difference between the deadline, ready time and run time) of a process.
The efficiency of the C-scan algorithm for disk scheduling is considered to be high. It is a variant of the scan algorithm that improves performance by reducing the seek time of the disk arm. The C-scan algorithm scans the disk in one direction only, which can lead to faster access times compared to other algorithms.
So that CPU utilise all the resources of OS
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.
