1 Introduction of Process scheduling Process scheduling is a fundamental concept in operating systems that deals with the efficient and orderly execution of multiple processes running concurrently on a computer system. In a multitasking operating system, such as Windows, macOS, or Linux, there are typically many processes competing for the CPU's (Central Processing Unit) attention. The process scheduler is responsible for determining which process should run next and allocating CPU time to each process in a fair and efficient manner. The primary goals of process scheduling are: Fairness: Ensure that each process gets a fair share of the CPU time, preventing any single process from monopolizing the CPU and starving others. Efficiency: Maximize CPU utilization and throughput by keeping the CPU busy with productive tasks as much as possible. Responsiveness: Prioritize interactive processes, like user interface applications, to ...
