Fair-share scheduling is a scheduling algorithm for computer operating systems in which the CPU usage is equally distributed among system users or groups, as opposed to equal distribution of resources among processes. [1]
Location of the "Completely Fair Scheduler" (a process scheduler) in a simplified structure of the Linux kernel. The Completely Fair Scheduler (CFS) was a process scheduler that was merged into the 2.6.23 (October 2007) release of the Linux kernel.
In computing environments that support the pipes-and-filters model for interprocess communication, a FIFO is another name for a named pipe.. Disk controllers can use the FIFO as a disk scheduling algorithm to determine the order in which to service disk I/O requests, where it is also known by the same FCFS initialism as for CPU scheduling mentioned before.
The criteria of a real-time can be classified as hard, firm or soft.The scheduler set the algorithms for executing tasks according to a specified order. [4] There are multiple mathematical models to represent a scheduling System, most implementations of real-time scheduling algorithm are modeled for the implementation of uniprocessors or multiprocessors configurations.
The scheduler is an operating system module that selects the next jobs to be admitted into the system and the next process to run. Operating systems may feature up to three distinct scheduler types: a long-term scheduler (also known as an admission scheduler or high-level scheduler), a mid-term or medium-term scheduler, and a short-term scheduler.
To minimize the effect this has on system performance, most I/O schedulers implement a variant of the elevator algorithm that reorders the incoming randomly ordered requests so the associated data would be accessed with minimal head movement. I/O schedulers can have many purposes depending on the goals; common purposes include the following
Fair queuing is a family of scheduling algorithms used in some process and network schedulers.The algorithm is designed to achieve fairness when a limited resource is shared, for example to prevent flows with large packets or processes that generate small jobs from consuming more throughput or CPU time than other flows or processes.
In February 2003 Andrea Arcangeli put forward his idea for a Stochastic Fair Queueing I/O scheduler to Jens Axboe who then implemented it. Jens Axboe made improvements to his first implementation, calling the new version the Completely Fair Queueing scheduler, and produced a patch to apply it to the 2.5.60 development series kernel.
