scholarly journals Round Robin Scheduling Algorithm based on Dynamic time quantum

After studying various CPU scheduling algorithms in Operating System, Round Robin scheduling algorithm is found to be most optimal algorithm in timeshared systems because of the static time quantum that is designated for every process. The efficacy of Round Robin algorithm entirely depends on the static time quantum that is being selected. After studying and analyzing Round Robin algorithm, I have proposed a new modified Round Robin algorithm that is based on shortest remaining burst time which has resulted in dynamic time quantum in place of static time quantum. This improves the performance of existing algorithm by reducing average waiting time and turn-around time and minimizing the number of context switches.

In Round Robin Scheduling the time quantum is fixed and then processes are scheduled such that no process get CPU time more than one time quantum in one go. The performance of Round robin CPU scheduling algorithm is entirely dependent on the time quantum selected. If time quantum is too large, the response time of the processes is too much which may not be tolerated in interactive environment. If time quantum is too small, it causes unnecessarily frequent context switch leading to more overheads resulting in less throughput. In this paper a method using Manhattan distance has been proposed that decides a quantum value. The computation of the time quantum value is done by the distance or difference between the highest burst time and lowest burst time. The experimental analysis also shows that this algorithm performs better than RR algorithm and by reducing number of context switches, reducing average waiting time and also the average turna round time.

The most important and integral part of a computer system is its operating system. Scheduling various resources is one of the most critical tasks an operating system needs to perform. Process scheduling being one of those tasks, involves various techniques that define how more than one processes can be executed simultaneously. The primary aim here is to the system more efficient and faster. The fundamental scheduling algorithms are: First Come First Serve (FCFS), Round Robin, Priority Based Scheduling, and Shortest Job First (SJF). This paper focuses on Round Robin Scheduling algorithm and various issues related to it. One major issue in RR scheduling is determining the length of Time Quantum. If the Time Quantum is too large RR scheduling behaves as FCFS. On the other hand, if it is too small it forces considerable increase in the number of context switches. Our main objective is to overcome this limitation of traditional RR scheduling algorithm and maximize CPU utilization, further, leading to more efficient and faster system. Here we propose an algorithm that categorizes available processes into High Priority processes and Low Priority process. The proposed algorithm reduces the average waiting time of High Priority processes in all cases and of Low Priority processes in not all but some cases. The overall waiting time changes on the basis of set of processes considered. The simulation results justify that the proposed schemes reduces the overall average waiting time when compared to the existing schemes.

<p>This paper introduce a new approach for scheduling algorithms which aim to improve real time operating system CPU performance. This new approach of CPU Scheduling algorithm is based on the combination of round-robin (RR) and Priority based (PB) scheduling algorithms. This solution maintains the advantage of simple round robin scheduling algorithm, which is reducing starvation and integrates the advantage of priority scheduling. The proposed algorithm implements the concept of time quantum and assigning as well priority index to the processes. Existing round robin CPU scheduling algorithm cannot be dedicated to real time operating system due to their large waiting time, large response time, large turnaround time and less throughput. This new algorithm improves all the drawbacks of round robin CPU scheduling algorithm. In addition, this paper presents analysis comparing proposed algorithm with existing round robin scheduling algorithm focusing on average waiting time and average turnaround time.</p>

Task scheduling is needed to maintain every process that comes with a processor in parallel processing. In several conditions, not every algorithm works better on the significant problem. Sometimes FCFS algorithm is better than the other in short burst time while Round Robin is better for multiple processes in every single time. However, it cannot be predicted what process will come after. Average Waiting Time is a standard measure for giving credit to the scheduling algorithm. Several techniques have been applied to maintain the process to make the CPU performance in normal. The objective of this paper is to compare three algorithms, FCFS, SJF, and Round Robin. The target is to know which algorithm is more suitable for the certain process.

Central Processing Unit (CPU) is the most significant resource and its scheduling is one of the main functions of an operating system. In timeshared systems, Round Robin (RR) is most widely used scheduling algorithm. The efficiency of RR algorithm is influenced by the quantum time, if quantum is small, there will be overheads of more context switches and if quantum time is large, then given algorithm will perform as First Come First Served (FCFS) in which there is more risk of starvation. In this paper, a new CPU scheduling algorithm is proposed named as Amended Dynamic Round Robin (ADRR) based on CPU burst time. The primary goal of ADRR is to improve the conventional RR scheduling algorithm using the active quantum time notion. Quantum time is cyclically adjusted based on CPU burst time. We evaluate and compare the performance of our proposed ADRR algorithm based on certain parameters such as, waiting time, turnaround time etc. and compare the performance of our proposed algorithm. Our numerical analysis and simulation results in MATLAB reveals that ADRR outperforms other well-known algorithms such as conventional Round Robin, Improved Round Robin (IRR), Optimum Multilevel Dynamic Round Robin (OMDRR) and Priority Based Round Robin (PRR)
