Process Scheduling Algorithms

The question is about process scheduling algorithms. We are given four processes (P1, P2, P3, P4)

with their arrival times (A.T), burst times (B.T), and priorities (Pn).

We need to determine the scheduling order using three different algorithms: First-Come,

First-Served (FCFS), Shortest Remaining Time First (SRTF), and Preemptive Priority.

Assume smaller priority numbers indicate higher priority.

Step 1: FCFS Scheduling

FCFS schedules processes in the order they arrive.

| Process | A.T | B.T | Completion Time | Turnaround Time | Waiting Time |

|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| P1 | 0 | 7 | 7 | 7 | 0 |

| P2 | 3 | 5 | 12 | 9 | 4 |

| P3 | 3 | 3 | 15 | 12 | 9 |

| P4 | 5 | 5 | 20 | 15 | 10 |

Average waiting time = (0 + 4 + 9 + 10) / 4 = 5.75

Step 2: SRTF Scheduling

SRTF schedules the process with the shortest remaining burst time. It's preemptive.

| Time | Process | Remaining Time |


|---|---|---|

| 0-7 | P1 | 7 -> 0 |

| 7-10 | P2 | 5 -> 2 |

| 10-12 | P3 | 3 -> 0 |

| 12-15 | P2 | 2 -> 0 |

| 15-20 | P4 | 5 -> 0 |

| Process | A.T | B.T | Completion Time | Turnaround Time | Waiting Time |

|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| P1 | 0 | 7 | 7 | 7 | 0 |

| P2 | 3 | 5 | 12 | 9 | 4 |

| P3 | 3 | 3 | 12 | 9 | 6 |

| P4 | 5 | 5 | 20 | 15 | 10 |

Average waiting time = (0 + 4 + 6 + 10) / 4 = 5

Step 3: Preemptive Priority Scheduling

This algorithm schedules the process with the highest priority (lowest Pn value). It's preemptive.

We'll use a Gantt chart to visualize.

| Time | Process | Priority |

|---|---|---|

| 0-3 | P1 | 1 |

| 3-6 | P2 | 2 |

| 6-9 | P3 | 3 |

| 9-14 | P4 | 4 |
| 14-17 | P1 | 1 |

| 17-20 | P4 | 4 |

| Process | A.T | B.T | Completion Time | Turnaround Time | Waiting Time |

|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| P1 | 0 | 7 | 17 | 17 | 10 |

| P2 | 3 | 5 | 6 | 3 | 0 |

| P3 | 3 | 3 | 9 | 6 | 3 |

| P4 | 5 | 5 | 20 | 15 | 10 |

Average waiting time = (10 + 0 + 3 + 10) / 4 = 5.75

Final Answer

FCFS: Average waiting time = 5.75

SRTF: Average waiting time = 5

Preemptive Priority: Average waiting time = 5.75
