CPU scheduling is the management of CPU time allocation to processes, aiming to optimize performance and efficiency. Various algorithms exist, including FCFS, SJF, Priority Scheduling, and Round Robin, each with unique advantages and challenges. The main goals of CPU scheduling are to maximize throughput, minimize response and waiting times, while addressing challenges like process variability and resource constraints.

*Page 1: Introduction to CPU Scheduling*

*CPU Scheduling Definition*

CPU scheduling is the process of managing the allocation of CPU time to various processes or threads in
a computer system. The goal is to optimize system performance, efficiency, and responsiveness.

*Importance of CPU Scheduling*

CPU scheduling is crucial for efficient system performance, ensuring that processes are executed fairly
and efficiently. It helps maximize throughput, minimize response time, and reduce waiting time.

*Page 2: Types of CPU Scheduling Algorithms*

1. *First-Come-First-Served (FCFS)*

FCFS executes processes in the order they arrive. It's simple but can lead to poor performance if longer
processes dominate the CPU.

2. *Shortest Job First (SJF)*

SJF prioritizes processes with the shortest execution time. It's more efficient than FCFS but requires
knowledge of process execution times.

3. *Priority Scheduling*

Priority scheduling assigns priority levels to processes and executes the highest-priority process first. It
can be preemptive or non-preemptive.

4. *Round Robin (RR)*

RR allocates a fixed time slice (time quantum) to each process, switching between them. It's fair and
responsive but can lead to context switching overhead.
*Page 3: Advanced CPU Scheduling Algorithms*

1. *Multilevel Feedback Queue*

Multilevel feedback queue uses multiple queues with different priority levels and time quanta. It adapts
to changing process behavior and priorities.

2. *Rate Monotonic Scheduling (RMS)*

RMS is a fixed-priority scheduling algorithm that assigns priorities based on process periods. It's suitable
for real-time systems.

3. *Earliest Deadline First (EDF) Scheduling*

EDF is a dynamic-priority scheduling algorithm that prioritizes processes based on their deadlines. It's
also suitable for real-time systems.

*Page 4: Goals and Challenges of CPU Scheduling*

*Goals of CPU Scheduling*

1. *Maximize throughput*: Increase the number of processes completed.

2. *Minimize response time*: Reduce the time between process submission and completion.

3. *Minimize waiting time*: Reduce the time processes spend waiting for CPU allocation.

*Challenges*

1. *Process variability*: Processes have varying execution times, priorities, and deadlines.

2. *Resource constraints*: Limited CPU resources must be allocated efficiently.

3. *Fairness*: Ensure fair allocation of CPU time among processes.

By understanding CPU scheduling algorithms and their goals, system designers can create efficient and
responsive systems that meet performance requirements.
