CPU SCHEDULINGALGORITHMS

A). FIRST COME FIRST SERVE:

AIM: To write a c program to simulate the CPU scheduling algorithm First Come First
Serve (FCFS)

DESCRIPTION:

To calculate the average waiting time using the FCFS algorithm first the waiting
time of the first process is kept zero and the waiting time of the second process is the
burst time of the first process and the waiting time of the third process is the sum of the
burst times of the first and the second process and so on. After calculating all the waiting
times the average waiting time is calculated as the average of all the waiting times. FCFS
mainly says first come first serve the algorithm which came first will be served first.

ALGORITHM:

Step 1: Start the process

Step 2: Accept the number of processes in the ready Queue
Step 3: For each process in the ready Q, assign the process name and the burst time Step
4: Set the waiting of the first process as ‗0‘and its burst time as its turnaround time Step
5: for each process in the Ready Q calculate
a). Waiting time (n) = waiting time (n-1) + Burst time (n-1) b).
Turnaround time (n)= waiting time(n)+Burst time(n)
Step 6: Calculate
a) Average waiting time = Total waiting Time / Number of process

b) Average Turnaround time = Total Turnaround Time / Number of process

Step 7: Stop the process

 C). ROUND ROBIN:

AIM: To simulate the CPU scheduling algorithm round-robin.

DESCRIPTION:

To aim is to calculate the average waiting time. There will be a time slice, each
process should be executed within that time-slice and if not it will go to the waiting
state so first check whether the burst time is less than the time-slice. If it is less than it
assign the waiting time to the sum of the total times. If it is greater than the burst-time
then subtract the time slot from the actual burst time and increment it by time-slot and
the loop continues until all the processes are completed.

ALGORITHM:
Step 1: Start the process
Step 2: Accept the number of processes in the ready Queue and time quantum (or) time
slice
Step 3: For each process in the ready Q, assign the process id and accept the CPU burst
time
Step 4: Calculate the no. of time slices for each process where No. of time
slice for process (n) = burst time process (n)/time slice
Step 5: If the burst time is less than the time slice then the no. of time slices =1.
Step 6: Consider the ready queue is a circular Q, calculate
a) Waiting time for process (n) = waiting time of process(n-1)+ burst time of
process(n-1 ) + the time difference in getting the CPU from process(n-1)
b) Turnaround time for process(n) = waiting time of process(n) + burst time of
process(n)+ the time difference in getting CPU from process(n).
Step 7: Calculate
c) Average waiting time = Total waiting Time / Number of process
d) Average Turnaround time = Total Turnaround Time / Number of process Step
8: Stop the process
