Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

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.

💡 Hint: Draw a Gantt chart to visualize the process execution order.

Challenge 2 Hard

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

💡 Hint: Think about the nature of the workload when selecting the quantum.
