Abstract Minimizing time cost in time-shared operating systems is considered basic and essential task, and it is the most significant goal for the researchers who interested in CPU scheduling algorithms. Waiting time, turnaround time, and number of context switches are the most time cost criteria used to compare between CPU scheduling algorithms. CPU scheduling algorithms are divided into non-preemptive and preemptive. Round Robin (RR) algorithm is the most famous as it is the basis for all the algorithms used in time-sharing. In this paper, the authors proposed a novel CPU scheduling algorithm based on RR. The proposed algorithm is called Adjustable… More >

Abstract CPU scheduling is the basic task within any time-shared operating system. One of the main goals of the researchers interested in CPU scheduling is minimizing time cost. Comparing between CPU scheduling algorithms is subject to some scheduling criteria (e.g., turnaround time, waiting time and number of context switches (NCS)). Scheduling policy is divided into preemptive and non-preemptive. Round Robin (RR) algorithm is the most common preemptive scheduling algorithm used in the time-shared operating systems. In this paper, the authors proposed a modified version of the RR algorithm, called dynamic time slice (DTS), to combine the advantageous of the low scheduling… More >
