The scheduler is an operating system module that selects the next jobs to be admitted into the system and the next process to run. Operating systems may feature up to three distinct scheduler types: a long-term scheduler (also known as an admission scheduler or high-level scheduler), a mid-term or medium-term scheduler, and a short-term scheduler.
A Round Robin preemptive scheduling example with quantum=3. Round-robin (RR) is one of the algorithms employed by process and network schedulers in computing. [1] [2] As the term is generally used, time slices (also known as time quanta) [3] are assigned to each process in equal portions and in circular order, handling all processes without priority (also known as cyclic executive).
The algorithm puts parent processes in the same task group as child processes. [7] (Task groups are tied to sessions created via the setsid() system call. [8]) This solved the problem of slow interactive response times on multi-core and multi-CPU systems when they were performing other tasks that use many CPU-intensive threads in those tasks.
The algorithm can function with any pipeline architecture and thus software requires few architecture-specific modifications. [3]: 183 Many modern processors implement dynamic scheduling schemes that are variants of Tomasulo's original algorithm, including popular Intel x86-64 chips. [5] [failed verification] [6]
Fair-share scheduling is a scheduling algorithm for computer operating systems in which the CPU usage is equally distributed among system users or groups, as opposed to equal distribution of resources among processes. [1]
Longest-processing-time-first (LPT) is a greedy algorithm for job scheduling. The input to the algorithm is a set of jobs, each of which has a specific processing-time. There is also a number m specifying the number of machines that can process the jobs. The LPT algorithm works as follows:
This is a sub-category of Category:Scheduling algorithms, focusing on heuristic algorithms for scheduling tasks (jobs) to processors (machines). For optimization problems related to scheduling, see Category:Optimal scheduling.
In computer science, a multilevel feedback queue is a scheduling algorithm. Scheduling algorithms are designed to have some process running at all times to keep the central processing unit (CPU) busy. [1] The multilevel feedback queue extends standard algorithms with the following design requirements:
