A Comparative Study of CPU Scheduling Algorithms
share
Developing CPU scheduling algorithms and understanding their impact in practice can be difficult and time consuming due to the need to modify and test operating system kernel code and measure the resulting performance on a consistent workload of real applications. As processor is the important resource, CPU scheduling becomes very important in accomplishing the operating system (OS) design goals. The intention should be allowed as many as possible running processes at all time in order to make best use of CPU. This paper presents a state diagram that depicts the comparative study of various scheduling algorithms for a single CPU and shows which algorithm is best for the particular situation. Using this representation, it becomes much easier to understand what is going on inside the system and why a different set of processes is a candidate for the allocation of the CPU at different time. The objective of the study is to analyze the high efficient CPU scheduler on design of the high quality scheduling algorithms which suits the scheduling goals.
