A Round Robin preemptive scheduling example with quantum=3. Round-robin (RR) is one of the algorithms employed by process and network schedulers in computing. [1] [2] As the term is generally used, time slices (also known as time quanta) [3] are assigned to each process in equal portions and in circular order, handling all processes without priority (also known as cyclic executive).
The simplest best-effort scheduling algorithms are round-robin, fair queuing (a max-min fair scheduling algorithm), proportional-fair scheduling and maximum throughput. If differentiated or guaranteed quality of service is offered, as opposed to best-effort communication, weighted fair queuing may be utilized.
Deficit round robin is a later variation of WRR that achieves better GPS approximation without knowing the mean packet size of each connection in advance. More effective scheduling disciplines were also introduced which handle the limitations mentioned above (e.g. weighted fair queuing).
With straightforward Round-robin scheduling, every time a context switch occurs, a process would need to be swapped in (because only the 10 least recently used processes are swapped in). Choosing randomly among the processes would diminish the probability to 80% (40/50). If that occurs, then obviously a process also need to be swapped out.
Speed networking is often referenced as a derivative of speed dating, [2] the round-robin approach to meeting potential suitors first developed by Rabbi Yaacov Deyo in the late 1990s. [3] Speed networking combines speed dating with business networking. It is thought to have started in the United States and/or the United Kingdom. [4]
In weighted round robin scheduling, the fraction of bandwidth used depend on the packet's sizes. Compared with WFQ scheduler that has complexity of O(log(n)) ( n is the number of active flows/queues ), the complexity of DRR is O(1) , if the quantum Q i {\displaystyle Q_{i}} is larger than the maximum packet size of this flow.
This process is termed round robin scheduling or time slicing. The kernel gives control to the next task in line if: The current task has no work to do during its time slice, or; The current task completes before the end of its time slice, or; The time slice ends.
