Study Notes
Process Scheduling
- The switching of resources occurs when the running process terminates and moves to a waiting state.
- There are two types of process scheduling: Non-Preemptive and Preemptive.
- In Preemptive scheduling, the OS allocates resources to a process for a fixed amount of time, and the process switches from running state to ready state or from waiting state to ready state.
Process Scheduling Queues
- The OS maintains separate queues for each of the process states.
- Process Control Blocks (PCBs) of all processes in the same execution state are placed in the same queue.
- When the state of a process is changed, its PCB is unlinked from its current queue and moved to its new state queue.
- There are three main queues: Job queue, Ready queue, and Device queue.
Comparison of Schedulers
- Long-Term Scheduler (Job Scheduler): selects processes from the pool and loads them into memory for execution, controls the degree of multiprogramming, and is minimal in time-sharing systems.
- Short-Term Scheduler (CPU Scheduler): selects processes that are ready to execute, allocates CPU to one of them, and is faster than Long-Term Scheduler.
- Medium-Term Scheduler (Process Swapping Scheduler): reduces the degree of multiprogramming, is a part of time-sharing systems, and is responsible for handling swapped out processes.
Operations on Processes
- Process Creation: creates processes in the system, triggered by user requests, system initialization, process creation system calls, or batch job initialization.
- Process Termination: occurs when a process completes its execution or is terminated by the OS.
- Process Preemption: occurs when the OS suspends a process temporarily and resumes another process.
- Process Blocking: occurs when a process is suspended until the required resources are available.
Process States
- Two-State Process Model: Running and Non-Running states.
- Running: a new process is created and enters into the system as in the running state.
- Non-Running: processes that are not running are kept in a queue, waiting for their turn to execute.
Schedulers
- Schedulers are special system software that handle process scheduling in various ways.
- There are three types of schedulers: Long-Term Scheduler, Short-Term Scheduler, and Medium-Term Scheduler.
- Their main task is to select the jobs to be submitted into the system and decide which process to run.
Operating System Services
- Program Execution: loads a program into memory, executes the program, and handles program's execution.
- I/O Operation: manages the communication between user and device drivers, and provides access to the required I/O device.
- File System Manipulation: provides a mechanism for file management, including file creation, deletion, and manipulation.
- Communication: provides a mechanism for process communication.
- Error Detection: provides a mechanism for error detection.
- Resource Allocation: provides a mechanism for resource allocation.
- Protection: provides a mechanism for protection.
- Command Interpreter System: provides a convenient programming environment to the users.
