CPU Scheduling and Round Robin Policy

Play an AI-generated podcast conversation about this lesson

What is the primary purpose of isolating processes consuming CPU time?

To minimize context switching

To launch low-consumption processes in higher priority queues (correct)

To reduce process execution time

To prioritize I/O-bound processes

What happens to a process that has spent a long time in a high-priority queue?

It is placed in a lower priority queue (correct)

It is given higher priority

It is terminated to free up resources

It is moved to a device queue

What determines which queue a new process is placed in?

The number of queues

The quantum of each queue

The scheduling algorithm of each queue (correct)

The method of transitioning a process between queues
