16 Questions
Under which circumstances does preemptive scheduling take place?
When a process switches from the running state to the waiting state
What is the primary objective of CPU scheduling?
Maximize CPU utilization
In nonpreemptive scheduling, when does the process release the CPU?
When it terminates
What is the effect of higher CPU utilization on a heavily loaded system?
Higher CPU utilization increases system performance
What is the basis of multiprogrammed operating systems?
Switching the CPU among processes
What is the distinguishing feature of preemptive scheduling over nonpreemptive scheduling?
Preemptive scheduling can interrupt a running process to allocate CPU to another
What is the definition of turnaround time in CPU scheduling criteria?
The sum of periods spent waiting to get into memory, waiting in the ready queue, executing on the CPU, and doing I/O
What is the main disadvantage of First-Come, First-Served (FCFS) scheduling?
It often results in long average waiting times
How is CPU allocated in Priority Scheduling?
To the process with the highest priority
What is the primary focus of Shortest-Job-First (SJF) Scheduling?
Minimizing the average waiting time for a given set of processes
What is the definition of response time in CPU scheduling criteria?
The time from the submission of a request until the first response is produced
What is the primary drawback of using FCFS scheduling?
It frequently leads to high average waiting times
What is the key challenge with implementing Shortest-Job-First (SJF) scheduling?
Predicting the process value accurately
In which type of scheduling are equal-priority processes scheduled in FCFS order?
Priority Scheduling
What does Min Waiting Time represent in CPU scheduling criteria?
The sum of periods spent waiting in the ready queue
What represents Max CPU utilization – Throughput in CPU scheduling criteria?
(6 + 0 + 3) / 3
