CSC520-Tutorial 5-Part 1 True Answer

The document discusses CPU scheduling, which allows processes to efficiently utilize the CPU while managing resource availability. It outlines the aims of CPU scheduling, the role of short-term schedulers, and the advantages of effective scheduling, including maximizing CPU utilization. Additionally, it explains key concepts such as dispatch latency, CPU-I/O burst cycles, and the differences between preemptive and non-preemptive scheduling.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATING SYSTEMS

TUTORIAL #5

(PART 1)

1. What is CPU Scheduling?


- The process which allows one process to use the CPU while the execution of
another process in on hold due to unavailability of any resource like I/O, thereby
making full use of CPU.

2. What is the aim of CPU scheduling?


- To make the system efficient, fast and fair

3. What is short-term scheduler?


- Short-term scheduler is the scheduling involves in the OS which it selects from
among the processes in ready queue, and allocates the CPU to one of them

4. Short-term scheduler is also known as CPU Scheduler.

5. CPU scheduling is the base for multiprogrammed operating systems.

6. What is the main advantage of having a good and efficient CPU scheduling?
- By having a good CPU scheduling, multiprogramming environment is possible, thus
maximum CPU utilized can be obtained

7. Define the term ‘dispatch latency’.


- The tume it takes for the dispatcher to stop one process and start another

8. CPU scheduling decisions may take place when:


- Switches from running to waiting state
- Switches from running to ready state
- Switches from waiting to ready
- Terminates

9. List all the scheduling criteria:


- CPU utilization
- Throughput
- Turnaround time
- Waiting time
- Response time

10. List the scheduling algorithm optimization criteria:


- Max CPU utilization
- Max throughput
- Min turnaround time
- Min waiting time
- Min response time

11. What is CPU-I/O Burst Cycle?


- Process execution consists of a cycle of CPU execution and I/O wait.
- CPU burst followed by I/O burst

12. What is the advantage of CPU-I/O overlap?


- Maximize the CPU utilization
- For efficiency

13. What is preemptive scheduling?


- The scheduling which a running process can be interrupted if a high priority process
enters the queue and is allocated to the CPU
- Takes place when a process switches from running state to ready state or from
waiting state to ready state

14. What is non-preemptive scheduling?


- The scheduling in which a process cannot be interrupted by any other process.
- Takes place when a process terminates or switches from running to waiting st

15. What is the main difference between preemptive and non-preemptive scheduling?
- Preemptive scheduling can be preempted and the process can be interrupted while
non preemptive scheduling, the process cannot be interrupted
