  2. Shortest job next - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shortest_job_next

    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.

  3. Highest response ratio next - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highest_response_ratio_next

    Highest response ratio next (HRRN) scheduling is a non-preemptive discipline. It was developed by Brinch Hansen as modification of shortest job next or shortest job first (SJN or SJF) to mitigate the problem of process starvation. In HRRN, the next job is not that with the shortest estimated run time, but that with the highest response ratio ...

  4. Scheduling (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheduling_(computing)

    The process scheduler is a part of the operating system that decides which process runs at a certain point in time. It usually has the ability to pause a running process, move it to the back of the running queue and start a new process; such a scheduler is known as a preemptive scheduler, otherwise it is a cooperative scheduler. [5]

  5. Process state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_state

    A process moves into the running state when it is chosen for execution. The process's instructions are executed by one of the CPUs (or cores) of the system. There is at most one running process per CPU or core. A process can run in either of the two modes, namely kernel mode or user mode. [1] [2]

  6. Run-to-completion scheduling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Run-to-completion_scheduling

    Some preemptive multitasking scheduling systems behave as run-to-completion schedulers in regard to scheduling tasks at one particular process priority level, at the same time as those processes still preempt other lower priority tasks and are themselves preempted by higher priority tasks.

  7. Process management (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_management_(computing)

    A process is a program in execution, and an integral part of any modern-day operating system (OS). The OS must allocate resources to processes, enable processes to share and exchange information, protect the resources of each process from other processes and enable synchronization among processes.

  8. Earliest deadline first scheduling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earliest_deadline_first...

    Timing Diagram showing part of one possible schedule for the example. In the timing diagram, the columns represent time slices with time increasing to the right, and the processes all start their periods at time slice 0. The timing diagram's alternating blue and white shading indicates each process's periods, with deadlines at the color changes.

  9. Cooperative multitasking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooperative_multitasking

    Windows 9x used non-preemptive multitasking for 16-bit legacy applications, and the PowerPC Versions of Mac OS X prior to Leopard used it for classic applications. [1] NetWare, which is a network-oriented operating system, used cooperative multitasking up to NetWare 6.5. Cooperative multitasking is still used on RISC OS systems. [3]
