This is a sub-category of Category:Scheduling algorithms, focusing on heuristic algorithms for scheduling tasks (jobs) to processors (machines). For optimization problems related to scheduling, see Category:Optimal scheduling.
Shortest job next being executed. Shortest job next (SJN), also known as shortest job first (SJF) or shortest process next (SPN), is a scheduling policy that selects for execution the waiting process with the smallest execution time. [1] SJN is a non-preemptive algorithm. Shortest remaining time is a preemptive variant of SJN.
An equivalent problem is scheduling when machines are available in different times: each machine i becomes available at some time t i ≥ 0 (the time t i can be thought of as the length of the kernel job). A simple heuristic algorithm, called SLPT, [23] assigns each kernel to a different subset, and then runs the LPT algorithm.
Shortest remaining time being executed. Shortest remaining time, also known as shortest remaining time first (SRTF), is a scheduling method that is a preemptive version of shortest job next scheduling. In this scheduling algorithm, the process with the smallest amount of time remaining until completion is selected to execute. Since the ...
The short-term scheduler (also known as the CPU scheduler) decides which of the ready, in-memory processes is to be executed (allocated a CPU) after a clock interrupt, an I/O interrupt, an operating system call or another form of signal. Thus the short-term scheduler makes scheduling decisions much more frequently than the long-term or mid-term ...
Interval scheduling is a class of problems in computer science, particularly in the area of algorithm design. The problems consider a set of tasks. The problems consider a set of tasks. Each task is represented by an interval describing the time in which it needs to be processed by some machine (or, equivalently, scheduled on some resource).
This scheduling algorithm first selects those processes that have the smallest "slack time". Slack time is defined as the temporal difference between the deadline, the ready time and the run time. More formally, the slack time s {\displaystyle s} for a process is defined as:
Earliest deadline first (EDF) or least time to go is a dynamic priority scheduling algorithm used in real-time operating systems to place processes in a priority queue. Whenever a scheduling event occurs (task finishes, new task released, etc.) the queue will be searched for the process closest to its deadline.
