Processes<br />

Process Scheduling<br />

– Criteria for a good scheduling algorithm:<br />

» Fairness: make sure each process gets its fair<br />

share of the CPU<br />

» Efficiency: keep the CPU busy 100% of the time<br />

» Response Time: minimize response time for<br />

interactive users<br />

» Turnaround: minimize the time batch users must<br />

wait for output<br />

» Throughput: maximise the number of jobs<br />

processed per hour<br />
