CPU

Scheduling
Understanding the mechanisms behind CPU task
management in Operating Systems.
Introduction
This presentation delves into CPU scheduling, exploring its
significance, various algorithms, and principles that govern
effective task management within operating systems.
01
Overview
Definition of CPU
Scheduling
CPU scheduling is the method by which an operating
system decides which processes in the ready queue will be
allocated CPU time. It is essential for maximizing CPU
utilization and ensuring process efficiency, directly
influencing the performance of the system.
Importance in OS
Effective CPU scheduling improves system
responsiveness, ensures fair resource allocation
among processes, and enhances overall system
performance. It minimizes idle time, maximizes
throughput, and optimizes waiting time for processes,
contributing to a seamless user experience.
Basic Concepts
CPU scheduling primarily involves context switching,
decision-making about which process to run, and managing
process states like ready, running, and waiting.
Understanding these concepts is essential for improving
CPU efficiency and reducing process wait times.
02
Algorithms
First-Come, First-
Served (FCFS)
FCFS is the simplest CPU scheduling algorithm that allocates
CPU time to processes in the order they arrive in the ready
queue. While easy to implement, it can lead to the 'convoy
effect,' where short processes wait for long processes to
complete, resulting in longer average waiting times.
Shortest Job Next
(SJN)
SJN, also known as Shortest Job First (SJF),
prioritizes processes that require the least
amount of CPU time first. This approach
minimizes waiting time and enhances throughput
but can cause starvation for longer processes if
short processes continuously arrive.
Round Robin (RR)
Round Robin scheduling allocates a fixed time slice to each
process in the ready queue, cycling through them until all are
completed. This method promotes fairness and
responsiveness, making it suitable for time-sharing systems
but can lead to high context-switching overhead if time slices
are too short.
Conclusions
Understanding CPU scheduling algorithms is
crucial for optimizing performance in operating
systems. Each algorithm has its advantages and
drawbacks. Choosing the appropriate scheduling
method depends on the specific requirements of
the system and the workload characteristics.
