Scheduling algorithms<br />

• Round-Robin Scheduling<br />

◾ The performance of Round-Robin scheduling depends on the size of the time quantum, T<br />

◾ For very large values of T, the performance (and behaviour) of Round-Robin scheduling approaches that of<br />

FCFS<br />

◾ As T approached zero, processes execute just one instruction per quantum<br />

◾ Obviously for very small values of T, the time taken to perform a context switch needs to be considered<br />

• T should be large with respect to the time required to perform a context switch<br />
