CPU scheduling algorithms (OS micro deck 7)

Question 1

first-come, first-served

Answer 1

a CPU scheduling algorithm that processes requests in the order they arrive without priority

Question 2

shortest job next

Answer 2

a CPU scheduling algorithm that selects the process with the shortest expected execution time next

Question 3

round-robin

Answer 3

a CPU scheduling algorithm where each process is assigned a fixed time slice in a rotating order

Question 4

preemptive scheduling

Answer 4

a CPU scheduling method where a running process can be interrupted and replaced by another process before it finishes

Question 5

non-preemptive scheduling

Answer 5

a CPU scheduling method where a running process is not interrupted and is allowed to finish before another process starts

Question 6

a fixed amount of CPU time allocated to each process in a round-robin scheduling algorithm

Answer 6

Time slice
