Multilevel queue Scheduling in operating system


Multilevel queue Scheduling 

Multilevel queue Scheduling algorithms has been created for situation in which processes are easily classified into different groups. A common division is made between foreground processes and background processes. In this scheduling algorithm, process in the ready queue can be divided into different classes where each class has its own scheduling needs. In other word we can say that a multilevel queue scheduling algorithm partition the ready queue into several separate queue. The process are permanently assigned to one queue, generally based on some property of the process, such as memory size, process priority, or process type. Each queue it's own scheduling algorithm. For example, a common process division is a foreground process and background process. The foreground queue is scheduled by an RR algorithm, while the background queue is scheduled by an FCFS algorithm. The process scheduler is alternately select jobs from each queue and assign them to the CPU based on the algorithm assigned to the queue. 

Order of priority

  1. System process queue
  2. Interactive process queue
  3. Batch process queue 
  4. Each queue has absolute priority over lower-priority queues.

Single partition allocation, Multiple-partition allocation and Fixed Equal-size partitions in operating system-computer world

  Single partition allocation, Multiple-partition allocation and Fixed Equal-size partitions in operating system Single partition allocation In this scheme operating system is residing in law memory and user process are executing in higher memory. Advantages It is simple  It is easy to understand and use Disadvantages User job is limited to the size of available memory. It leads to poor Utilization of processor and memory. Multiple-partition allocation  It is the simplest method for allocating  memory is divided memory into several fixed size partitions. Fixed Equal-size partitions It divides the main memory Into equal number of fixed sized partitions, operating system occupies some fixed portion and remaining portion of main memory is available for user processes. Advantages It supports multi programming. A process whose size is less then or equal to the partitions size can be loaded into any available partition. Disadvantages If a program is big to fit in...

What is computer and its characteristics-computer world

  What is computer and its characteristics  Computer  :  Computer is an electronic data processing device, which accept and store data input, process the data and generates the output in a required format. computer is made up of integrated  parts (input, control, ALU, storage and output unit) All the part work together to process data so, we can say that a computer is a programmable electronic device accept row data as input and process it with  set of instruction to produce the result as output. Meaning of computer The word "computer" comes from the word "compute" which means to "calculate". The word computer is derived from the Latin word compute which means to calculate. Characteristics of computer Automatic : It is a automatic machine work by itself without human instruction. Speed :  A computer is a very fast devices. It can perform in a few second, the amount of work that a human being can do in an entire year.  Accuracy : In addition t...
