Processes<br />

Process Scheduling<br />

– Priority Scheduling<br />

» each process is assigned a priority<br />

» the runnable process with the highest priority is<br />

run<br />

» decrease the priority of a process at each clock<br />

interrupt (to stop high priority processes<br />

monopolizing the system)<br />

» Priorities can be assigned dynamically or statically<br />

for example: assign a high priority to I/O bound<br />

processes (why?) with a priority equal to 1/f, where f is<br />

the fraction of the last quantum that the process used.<br />
