| Question 17 |
Consider an arbitrary set of CPU-bound processes with unequal CPU burst lengths submitted at the same time to a computer system. Which one of the following process scheduling algorithms would minimize the average waiting time in the ready queue?
| Shortest remaining time first | |
| Round-robin with time quantum less than the shortest CPU burst | |
| Uniform random | |
| Highest priority first with priority proportional to CPU burst length |
Question 17 Explanation:
From the above question, we can get the following information.
We can consider an arbitrary set of CPU-bound processes with unequal CPU burst lengths submitted at the same time to a computer system.
We have to choose the appropriate process scheduling algorithms, which would minimize the average waiting time in the ready queue.
Waiting time is the time for which process is ready to run but not executed by CPU scheduler.
In all CPU Scheduling algorithms, shortest job first is optimal.
It gives minimum turnaround time, minimum average waiting time and high throughput and the most important thing is that shortest remaining time first is the preemptive version of shortest job first.
This scheduling algorithm may lead to starvation because if the short processes are added to the CPU scheduler continuously then the currently running process will never be able to execute as they will get pre-empted but here all the processes are arrived at same time so there will be no issue such as starvation.
SRTF would be same as SJF.
So, A is the answer. Shortest remaining time first.
