Study Notes
CPU Burst and Scheduling
- The CPU burst is the time spent by a process executing instructions in the CPU.
- The main objective of CPU scheduling is to allocate the CPU time to different processes efficiently, aiming to maximize CPU utilization and throughput.
Process Types and I/O Burst
- An I/O-bound process spends its maximum time doing I/O operations, whereas a CPU-bound process spends most of its time executing instructions in the CPU.
- An I/O burst in the CPU and I/O burst cycle signifies the period when a process is waiting for input/output operations to complete, during which the CPU remains idle.
Multiprogramming
- The goal of multiprogramming in scheduling is to overlap the I/O operations of one process with the CPU execution of another process, increasing CPU utilization and system throughput.
