Study Notes

Multilevel Feedback Queue

A process can move between the various queues.
If a process requires 30 shares to enter the system and the current available shares are 20 + 15 + 50 = 85, the admission controller will reject the process.

T shares are allocated among all processes in the system.
An application receives N shares where N < T.
Each application will receive N / T of the total processor time.

POSIX Real-Time Scheduling

The POSIX.1b standard provides an API for managing real-time threads.
The API defines two scheduling classes for real-time threads.
The standard enables the management of real-time threads.
