Question 1

What is the main disadvantage of FCFS scheduling?

  • A. It minimizes waiting time
  • B. It can lead to high average waiting times
  • C. It is non-preemptive

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how process order affects waiting for other processes.

Question 2

Is SJF optimal for minimizing waiting time?

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how processing shorter jobs first affects overall time.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A system has three processes with the following CPU burst times: P1 = 6, P2 = 4, P3 = 8. Calculate the waiting time and turnaround time for both FCFS and SJF scheduling algorithms.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Create a timeline for better clarity!

Question 2

In a multi-level feedback queue scheduling system, describe the process for demoting a CPU-bound process and how aging affects its promotion back to the higher queue.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the balance between CPU and I/O-bound processes.
