Most computer operating systems must multi-task. They use a scheduling algorithm that decides which of the many processes can be run at any given time. It puts some jobs aside while others go through, ...

Round-Robin (RR) is the vastly used process scheduling algorithm where, all processes are allocated some time shares in a circular order. If a process is able to complete its execution within this ...

A method used to schedule jobs for execution. Priority, length of time in the job queue and available resources are examples of criteria used. THIS DEFINITION IS FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY. All other ...

This paper addresses carrier aircraft landing scheduling considering bolting and aerial refueling. It defines fuel and wake ...

As with many Unix and Linux systems, you can change the priority of processes in OS X to advance them through the CPU. While this will not make them faster, it can be used to make processes more ...

Processor speed and memory size are increasing day-by-day several times faster than disk speed. The difference between these two identifies that disk I/O performance could become a very important ...
