Study Notes
First-Come, First-Served (FCFS) Scheduling
- FCFS scheduling executes jobs in the order they arrive, following a first-in, first-out (FIFO) approach.
- Simple implementation but generally suffers from high average waiting time, leading to poor performance.
Example of FCFS Scheduling - Case One
- Processes:
- P1: 24 ms
- P2: 3 ms
- P3: 3 ms
- Gantt Chart:
- P1 runs from 0 to 24
- P2 runs from 24 to 27
- P3 runs from 27 to 30
- Waiting Times:
- P1: 0 ms
- P2: 24 ms
- P3: 27 ms
- Average waiting time: (0 + 24 + 27) / 3 = 17 ms
Example of FCFS Scheduling - Case Two
- Arrival Order:
- P2, P3, P1
- New Gantt Chart:
- P2 runs from 0 to 3
- P3 runs from 3 to 6
- P1 runs from 6 to 30
- Waiting Times:
- P1: 6 ms
- P2: 0 ms
- P3: 3 ms
- Average waiting time: (6 + 0 + 3) / 3 = 3 ms
- Improved performance compared to the first case.
Process Concept
- A process represents a program in execution, acting as a unit of work in a system.
- Processes require CPU time, memory, files, and I/O devices to complete tasks.
- Example of a process: A task that displays file status by executing necessary instructions and system calls.
Process States
- New: Process is being created.
- Ready: Process is waiting for CPU assignment.
- Running: Process instructions are currently being executed.
- Waiting: Process is halted, waiting for an event.
- Terminated: Process has completed execution.
Scheduling Algorithm Optimization Criteria
- CPU Utilization: Maximize CPU activity for better efficiency.
- Throughput: Maximize the number of processes completed per time unit.
- Turnaround Time: Minimize the total time taken to execute a process.
- Waiting Time: Minimize the duration a process remains in the ready queue.
- Response Time: Minimize the time from request submission to the first response in time-sharing environments.
