  2. FIFO (computing and electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFO_(computing_and...

    Such processing is analogous to servicing people in a queue area on a first-come, first-served (FCFS) basis, i.e. in the same sequence in which they arrive at the queue's tail. FCFS is also the jargon term for the FIFO operating system scheduling algorithm, which gives every process central processing unit (CPU) time in the order in which it is ...

  3. M/G/1 queue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M/G/1_queue

    last-come, first served with preemption where a job in service is interrupted by later arrivals, but work is conserved [3] generalized foreground-background (FB) scheduling also known as least-attained-service where the jobs which have received least processing time so far are served first and jobs which have received equal service time share ...

  4. I/O scheduling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I/O_scheduling

    First In, First Out , also known as First Come First Served (FCFS) Last In, First Out ; Shortest seek first, also known as Shortest Seek / Service Time First (SSTF) Elevator algorithm, also known as SCAN (including its variants, C-SCAN, LOOK, and C-LOOK) N-Step-SCAN SCAN of N records at a time; FSCAN, N-Step-SCAN where N equals queue size at ...

  5. Queueing theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queueing_theory

    Various scheduling policies can be used at queueing nodes: First in, first out First in first out (FIFO) queue example Also called first-come, first-served (FCFS), [21] this principle states that customers are served one at a time and that the customer that has been waiting the longest is served first. [22] Last in, first out

  6. Round-robin scheduling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round-robin_scheduling

    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).

  7. Scheduling (computing) - Wikipedia

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

    In packet-switched computer networks and other statistical multiplexing, the notion of a scheduling algorithm is used as an alternative to first-come first-served queuing of data packets. The simplest best-effort scheduling algorithms are round-robin , fair queuing (a max-min fair scheduling algorithm), proportional-fair scheduling and maximum ...

  8. Weighted round robin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weighted_round_robin

    WRR for network packet scheduling was first proposed by Katevenis, Sidiropoulos and Courcoubetis in 1991, [1] specifically for scheduling in ATM networks using fixed-size packets (cells). The primary limitation of weighted round-robin queuing is that it provides the correct percentage of bandwidth to each service class only if all the packets ...

  9. Earliest deadline first scheduling - Wikipedia

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

    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.
