Scheduling Algorithms

← Back to CPU Scheduling

Different strategies for deciding which process gets CPU time next. Each algorithm makes different tradeoffs between throughput, latency, fairness, and complexity.

Key Properties

• FIFO Scheduling
• Shortest Job First
• Round Robin
• Priority Scheduling
• Multilevel Feedback Queue

Related

• Preemptive vs Cooperative (algorithms can be either)
• Real-Time Scheduling (specialized algorithms for time-critical tasks)
