CPU Scheduling Algorithms

Explore various CPU scheduling algorithms and understand their impact on system performance

Basic Scheduling

  • First Come First Serve (FCFS)
  • Round Robin (RR)

Fundamental scheduling algorithms that form the basis of CPU management in operating systems.

Priority-Based Scheduling

  • Shortest Job First (SJF)
  • Priority Scheduling
  • Shortest Remaining Job First (SRJF)

Advanced scheduling algorithms that optimize system metrics based on job characteristics.

About CPU Scheduling

CPU scheduling is a critical component of operating system design that determines which processes get CPU time and in what order. Effective scheduling algorithms help optimize system metrics like throughput, waiting time, and response time.

This simulator allows you to visualize and compare different CPU scheduling algorithms to better understand their behavior and performance characteristics under various workloads.
