Question 1

What does LLF scheduling prioritize?

  • Tasks with the longest execution time
  • Tasks with the smallest laxity
  • Tasks with the earliest release time

💡 Hint: Remember the formula for laxity.

Question 2

True or False: LLF can achieve optimal CPU utilization.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about how LLF schedules tasks based on urgency.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a system with three tasks: Task 1 with an absolute deadline of 50 ms, remaining execution time of 20 ms, Task 2 with a deadline of 40 ms and execution time of 10 ms, and Task 3 with a deadline of 30 ms and execution time of 5 ms. Calculate the laxity for each task if the current time is 25 ms.

💡 Hint: Use the laxity formula for each task based on the current time.

Question 2

Discuss the implications of a task with negative laxity in LLF scheduling. What action should the system take if it finds a task with negative laxity?

💡 Hint: Think about the scheduling actions that ensure timely task execution.
