Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You are managing a system with the following 4 processes, each with a different burst time (P1: 8 ms, P2: 4 ms, P3: 9 ms, P4: 5 ms). Analyze the waiting time for each process if the time quantum is set at 3 ms.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Draw a Gantt chart to visualize the process execution order.

Question 2

Propose an optimized time quantum value for a system with frequent I/O-bound processes versus CPU-bound processes. Justify your choice.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about the nature of the workload when selecting the quantum.
