Question

list the scheduling criteria​

Answer 1

Answer:

Various criteria or characteristics that help in designing a good scheduling algorithm are:

CPU Utilization − A scheduling algorithm should be designed so that CPU remains busy as possible. It should make efficient use of CPU.

Throughput − Throughput is the amount of work completed in a unit of time. In other words throughput is the processes executed to number of jobs completed in a unit of time. The scheduling algorithm must look to maximize the number of jobs processed per time unit.

Response time − Response time is the time taken to start responding to the request. A scheduler must aim to minimize response time for interactive users.

Turnaround time − Turnaround time refers to the time between the moment of submission of a job/ process and the time of its completion. Thus how long it takes to execute a process is also an important factor.

Waiting time − It is the time a job waits for resource allocation when several jobs are competing in multiprogramming system. The aim is to minimize the waiting time.

Fairness − A good scheduler should make sure that each process gets its fair share of the CPU.
