The size of the Time Quantum
It's an algorithm that is used for CPU schedulers.
Round Robin
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.
distributed system doesn't have any global clock time. It uses some special schedule technique such as lampart's cycle and other algorithm.
There isn't a single "best" scheduling algorithm, as the effectiveness of a scheduling algorithm depends on the specific requirements and constraints of the system in question. Common algorithms include Round Robin, Shortest Job First, and Priority Scheduling, each with its strengths and weaknesses. For real-time systems, Rate Monotonic Scheduling may be preferred, while for batch processing, Shortest Job First could be more efficient. Ultimately, the best choice depends on factors such as system load, response time requirements, and resource availability.
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.
Robin Hood wasn't at the round table
Windows XP uses a quantum-based, preemptive priority scheduling algorithm
A round robin competition is when every team plays every other team.
Round Robin takes precedence
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
