HRRN Scheduling | CPU Scheduling

Operating System

HRRN Scheduling-

 

In HRRN Scheduling,

  • Out of all the available processes, CPU is assigned to the process having highest response ratio.
  • In case of a tie, it is broken by FCFS Scheduling.
  • It operates only in non-preemptive mode.

 

Calculating Response Ratio-

 

Response Ratio (RR) for any process is calculated by using the formula-

 

 

where-

  • W = Waiting time of the process so far
  • B = Burst time or Service time of the process

 

Advantages-

 

  • It performs better than SJF Scheduling.
  • It not only favors the shorter jobs but also limits the waiting time of longer jobs.

 

Disadvantages-

 

  • It can not be implemented practically.
  • This is because burst time of the processes can not be known in advance.

 

PRACTICE PROBLEM BASED ON HRRN SCHEDULING-

 

Problem-

 

Consider the set of 5 processes whose arrival time and burst time are given below-

 

Process Id Arrival time Burst time
P0 0 3
P1 2 6
P2 4 4
P3 6 5
P4 8 2

 

If the CPU scheduling policy is Highest Response Ratio Next, calculate the average waiting time and average turn around time.

 

Solution-

 

Step-01:

 

  • At t = 0, only the process P0 is available in the ready queue.
  • So, process P0 executes till its completion.

 

 

Step-02:

 

  • At t = 3, only the process P1 is available in the ready queue.
  • So, process P1 executes till its completion.

 

 

Step-03:

 

  • At t = 9, the processes P2, P3 and P4 are available in the ready queue.
  • The process having the highest response ratio will be executed next.

 

The response ratio are-

  • Response Ratio for process P2 = [(9-4) + 4] / 4 = 9 / 4 = 2.25
  • Response Ratio for process P3 = [(9-6) + 5] / 5 = 8 / 5 = 1.6
  • Response Ratio for process P4 = [(9-8) + 2] / 2 = 3 / 2 = 1.5

 

Since process P2 has the highest response ratio, so process P2 executes till completion.

 

 

Step-04:

 

  • At t = 13, the processes P3 and P4 are available in the ready queue.
  • The process having the highest response ratio will be executed next.

 

The response ratio are calculated as-

  • Response Ratio for process P3 = [(13-6) + 5] / 5 = 12 / 5 = 2.4
  • Response Ratio for process P4 = [(13-8) + 2] / 2 = 7 / 2 = 3.5

 

Since process P4 has the highest response ratio, so process P4 executes till completion.

 

 

Step-05:

 

  • At t = 15, only the process P3 is available in the ready queue.
  • So, process P3 executes till its completion.

 

 

Now, we know-

  • Turn Around time = Exit time – Arrival time
  • Waiting time = Turn Around time – Burst time

 

Also read- Various Times of Process

 

Process Id Exit time Turn Around time Waiting time
P0 3 3 – 0 = 3 3 – 3 = 0
P1 9 9 – 2 = 7 7 – 6 = 1
P2 13 13 – 4 = 9 9 – 4 = 5
P3 20 20 – 6 = 14 14 – 5 = 9
P4 15 15 – 8 = 7 7 – 2 = 5

 

Now,

  • Average Turn Around time = (3 + 7 + 9 + 14 + 7) / 5 = 40 / 5 = 8 units
  • Average waiting time = (0 + 1 + 5 + 9 + 5) / 5 = 20 / 5 = 4 units

Predicting Burst Time | SJF Scheduling

Operating System

SJF Scheduling-

 

Before you go through this article, make sure that you have gone through the previous article on SJF Scheduling.

 

In SJF Scheduling,

  • Out of all the available processes, CPU is assigned to the process having smallest burst time.
  • The main drawback of SJF Scheduling is that it can not be implemented practically.
  • This is because burst time of the processes can not be known in advance.

 

In this article, we will discuss techniques to predict burst time.

 

Techniques to Predict Burst Time-

 

There are several techniques which try to predict the burst time for the processes so that the algorithm can be implemented.

These techniques are-

 

 

Static Techniques-

 

There are two static techniques-

  1. Based on process size
  2. Based on process type

 

1. Based on Process Size-

 

  • This technique predicts the burst time for a process based on its size.
  • Burst time of the already executed process of similar size is taken as the burst time for the process to be executed.

 

Example-

 

  • Consider a process of size 200 KB took 20 units of time to complete its execution.
  • Then, burst time for any future process having size around 200 KB can be taken as 20 units.

 

NOTE

  • The predicted burst time may not always be right.
  • This is because the burst time of a process also depends on what kind of a process it is.

 

2. Based on Process Type-

 

  • This technique predicts the burst time for a process based on its type.
  • The following figure shows the burst time assumed for several kinds of processes.

 

 

Dynamic Techniques-

 

There are two dynamic techniques-

  1. Based on simple averaging
  2. Based on exponential averaging

 

1. Based on Simple Averaging-

 

  • Burst time for the process to be executed is taken as the average of all the processes that are executed till now.
  • Given n processes P1, P2, … , Pn and burst time of each process Pi as ti, then predicted burst time for process Pn+1 is given as-

 

 

2. Based on Exponential Averaging-

 

  • Given n processes P1, P2, … , Pn and burst time of each process Pi as ti. Then, predicted burst time for process Pn+1 is given as-

 

 

where-

  • α is called smoothening factor (0<= α <=1)
  • tn = actual burst time of process Pn
  • Tn = Predicted burst time for process Pn

 

PRACTICE PROBLEM BASED ON PREDICTING BURST TIME-

 

Problem-

 

Calculate the predicted burst time using exponential averaging for the fifth process if the predicted burst time for the first process is 10 units and actual burst time of the first four processes is 4, 8, 6 and 7 units respectively. Given α = 0.5.

 

Solution-

 

Given-

  • Predicted burst time for 1st process = 10 units
  • Actual burst time of the first four processes = 4, 8, 6, 7
  • α = 0.5

 

Predicted Burst Time for 2nd Process-

 

Predicted burst time for 2nd process

= α x Actual burst time of 1st process + (1-α) x Predicted burst time for 1st process

= 0.5 x 4 + 0.5 x 10

= 2 + 5

= 7 units

 

Predicted Burst Time for 3rd Process-

 

Predicted burst time for 3rd process

= α x Actual burst time of 2nd process + (1-α) x Predicted burst time for 2nd process

= 0.5 x 8 + 0.5 x 7

= 4 + 3.5

= 7.5 units

 

Predicted Burst Time for 4th Process-

 

Predicted burst time for 4th process

= α x Actual burst time of 3rd process + (1-α) x Predicted burst time for 3rd process

= 0.5 x 6 + 0.5 x 7.5

= 3 + 3.75

= 6.75 units

 

Predicted Burst Time for 5th Process-

 

Predicted burst time for 5th process

= α x Actual burst time of 4th process + (1-α) x Predicted burst time for 4th process

= 0.5 x 7 + 0.5 x 6.75

= 3.5 + 3.375

= 6.875 units

Longest Job First Algorithm | LRTF Scheduling

Operating System

Longest Job First Algorithm-

 

In LJF Scheduling,

  • Out of all the available processes, CPU is assigned to the process having largest burst time.
  • In case of a tie, it is broken by FCFS Scheduling.

 

 

  • LJF Scheduling can be used in both preemptive and non-preemptive mode.
  • Preemptive mode of Longest Job First is called as Longest Remaining Time First (LRTF).

 

Advantages-

 

  • No process can complete until the longest job also reaches its completion.
  • All the processes approximately finishes at the same time.

 

Disadvantages-

 

  • The waiting time is high.
  • Processes with smaller burst time may starve for CPU.

 

PRACTICE PROBLEMS BASED ON LJF SCHEDULING-

 

Problem-01:

 

Consider the set of 5 processes whose arrival time and burst time are given below-

 

Process Id Arrival time Burst time
P1 0 3
P2 1 2
P3 2 4
P4 3 5
P5 4 6

 

If the CPU scheduling policy is LJF non-preemptive, calculate the average waiting time and average turn around time.

 

Solution-

 

Gantt Chart-

 

 

Now, we know-

  • Turn Around time = Exit time – Arrival time
  • Waiting time = Turn Around time – Burst time

 

Also read- Various Times of Process

 

Process Id Exit time Turn Around time Waiting time
P1 3 3 – 0 = 3 3 – 3 = 0
P2 20 20 – 1 = 19 19 – 2 = 17
P3 18 18 – 2 = 16 16 – 4 = 12
P4 8 8 – 3 = 5 5 – 5 = 0
P5 14 14 – 4 = 10 10 – 6 = 4

 

Now,

  • Average Turn Around time = (3 + 19 + 16 + 5 + 10) / 5 = 53 / 5 = 10.6 unit
  • Average waiting time = (0 + 17 + 12 + 0 + 4) / 5 = 33 / 5 = 6.6 unit

 

Problem-02:

 

Consider the set of 4 processes whose arrival time and burst time are given below-

 

Process Id Arrival time Burst time
P1 1 2
P2 2 4
P3 3 6
P4 4 8

 

If the CPU scheduling policy is LJF preemptive, calculate the average waiting time and average turn around time.

 

Solution-

 

Gantt Chart-

 

 

Now, we know-

  • Turn Around time = Exit time – Arrival time
  • Waiting time = Turn Around time – Burst time

 

Process Id Exit time Turn Around time Waiting time
P1 18 18 – 1 = 17 17 – 2 = 15
P2 19 19 – 2 = 17 17 – 4 = 13
P3 20 20 – 3 = 17 17 – 6 = 11
P4 21 21 – 4 = 17 17 – 8 = 9

 

Now,

  • Average Turn Around time = (17 + 17 + 17 + 17) / 4 = 68 / 4 = 17 unit
  • Average waiting time = (15 + 13 + 11 + 9) / 4 = 48 / 4 = 12 unit

 

Problem-03:

 

Consider three processes (process id 0, 1, 2 respectively) with compute time bursts 2, 4 and 8 time units. All processes arrive at time zero. Consider the longest remaining time first (LRTF) scheduling algorithm. In LRTF, ties are broken by giving priority to the process with the lowest process id. The average turn around time is-

  1. 13 unit
  2. 14 unit
  3. 15 unit
  4. 16 unit

 

Solution-

 

We have the set of 3 processes whose arrival time and burst time are given below-

 

Process Id Arrival time Burst time
P1 0 2
P2 0 4
P3 0 8

 

Gantt Chart-

 

 

Now, we know-

Turn Around time = Exit time – Arrival time

 

Process Id Exit time Turn Around time
P1 12 12 – 0 = 12
P2 13 13 – 0 = 13
P3 24 14 – 0 = 14

 

Now,

Average Turn Around time = (12 + 13 + 14) / 3 = 39 / 3 = 13 unit

Thus, Option (A) is correct.

Priority Scheduling | CPU Scheduling | Examples

Operating System

Priority Scheduling-

 

In Priority Scheduling,

  • Out of all the available processes, CPU is assigned to the process having the highest priority.
  • In case of a tie, it is broken by FCFS Scheduling.

 

 

  • Priority Scheduling can be used in both preemptive and non-preemptive mode.

 

Advantages-

 

  • It considers the priority of the processes and allows the important processes to run first.
  • Priority scheduling in preemptive mode is best suited for real time operating system.

 

Disadvantages-

 

  • Processes with lesser priority may starve for CPU.
  • There is no idea of response time and waiting time.

 

Important Notes-

 

Note-01:

 

  • The waiting time for the process having the highest priority will always be zero in preemptive mode.
  • The waiting time for the process having the highest priority may not be zero in non-preemptive mode.

 

Note-02:

 

Priority scheduling in preemptive and non-preemptive mode behaves exactly same under following conditions-

  • The arrival time of all the processes is same
  • All the processes become available

 

PRACTICE PROBLEMS BASED ON PRIORITY SCHEDULING-

 

Problem-01:

 

Consider the set of 5 processes whose arrival time and burst time are given below-

 

Process Id Arrival time Burst time  Priority
P1 0 4 2
P2 1 3 3
P3 2 1 4
P4 3 5 5
P5 4 2 5

 

If the CPU scheduling policy is priority non-preemptive, calculate the average waiting time and average turn around time. (Higher number represents higher priority)

 

Solution-

 

Gantt Chart-

 

 

Now, we know-

  • Turn Around time = Exit time – Arrival time
  • Waiting time = Turn Around time – Burst time

 

Also read- Various Times of Process

 

Process Id Exit time Turn Around time Waiting time
P1 4 4 – 0 = 4 4 – 4 = 0
P2 15 15 – 1 = 14 14 – 3 = 11
P3 12 12 – 2 = 10 10 – 1 = 9
P4 9 9 – 3 = 6 6 – 5 = 1
P5 11 11 – 4 = 7 7 – 2 = 5

 

Now,

  • Average Turn Around time = (4 + 14 + 10 + 6 + 7) / 5 = 41 / 5 = 8.2 unit
  • Average waiting time = (0 + 11 + 9 + 1 + 5) / 5 = 26 / 5 = 5.2 unit

 

Problem-02:

 

Consider the set of 5 processes whose arrival time and burst time are given below-

 

Process Id Arrival time Burst time  Priority
P1 0 4 2
P2 1 3 3
P3 2 1 4
P4 3 5 5
P5 4 2 5

 

If the CPU scheduling policy is priority preemptive, calculate the average waiting time and average turn around time. (Higher number represents higher priority)

 

Solution-

 

Gantt Chart-

 

 

Now, we know-

  • Turn Around time = Exit time – Arrival time
  • Waiting time = Turn Around time – Burst time

 

Process Id Exit time Turn Around time Waiting time
P1 15 15 – 0 = 15 15 – 4 = 11
P2 12 12 – 1 = 11 11 – 3 = 8
P3 3 3 – 2 = 1 1 – 1 = 0
P4 8 8 – 3 = 5 5 – 5 = 0
P5 10 10 – 4 = 6 6 – 2 = 4

 

Now,

  • Average Turn Around time = (15 + 11 + 1 + 5 + 6) / 5 = 38 / 5 = 7.6 unit
  • Average waiting time = (11 + 8 + 0 + 0 + 4) / 5 = 23 / 5 = 4.6 unit

Round Robin | Round Robin Scheduling | Examples

Operating System

Round Robin Scheduling-

 

In Round Robin Scheduling,

  • CPU is assigned to the process on the basis of FCFS for a fixed amount of time.
  • This fixed amount of time is called as time quantum or time slice.
  • After the time quantum expires, the running process is preempted and sent to the ready queue.
  • Then, the processor is assigned to the next arrived process.
  • It is always preemptive in nature.

 

Round Robin Scheduling is FCFS Scheduling with preemptive mode.

 

 

Advantages-

 

  • It gives the best performance in terms of average response time.
  • It is best suited for time sharing system, client server architecture and interactive system.

 

Disadvantages-

 

  • It leads to starvation for processes with larger burst time as they have to repeat the cycle many times.
  • Its performance heavily depends on time quantum.
  • Priorities can not be set for the processes.

 

Important Notes-

 

Note-01:

 

With decreasing value of time quantum,

  • Number of context switch increases
  • Response time decreases
  • Chances of starvation decreases

 

Thus, smaller value of time quantum is better in terms of response time.

 

Note-02:

 

With increasing value of time quantum,

  • Number of context switch decreases
  • Response time increases
  • Chances of starvation increases

 

Thus, higher value of time quantum is better in terms of number of context switch.

 

Note-03:

 

  • With increasing value of time quantum, Round Robin Scheduling tends to become FCFS Scheduling.
  • When time quantum tends to infinity, Round Robin Scheduling becomes FCFS Scheduling.

 

Also read- FCFS Scheduling

 

Note-04:

 

  • The performance of Round Robin scheduling heavily depends on the value of time quantum.
  • The value of time quantum should be such that it is neither too big nor too small.

 

PRACTICE PROBLEMS BASED ON ROUND ROBIN SCHEDULING-

 

Problem-01:

 

Consider the set of 5 processes whose arrival time and burst time are given below-

P3 5 5 – 2 = 3 3 – 1 = 2
P4 9 9 – 3 = 6 6 – 2 = 4
P5 14 14 – 4 = 10 10 – 3 = 7

 

Now,

  • Average Turn Around time = (13 + 11 + 3 + 6 + 10) / 5 = 43 / 5 = 8.6 unit
  • Average waiting time = (8 + 8 + 2 + 4 + 7) / 5 = 29 / 5 = 5.8 unit

 

Problem-02:

 

Consider the set of 6 processes whose arrival time and burst time are given below-

 

Process Id Arrival time Burst time
P1 0 4
P2 1 5
P3 2 2
P4 3 1

P5 21 21 – 4 = 17 17 – 6 = 11
P6 19 19 – 6 = 13 13 – 3 = 10

 

Now,

  • Average Turn Around time = (8 + 17 + 4 + 6 + 17 + 13) / 6 = 65 / 6 = 10.84 unit
  • Average waiting time = (4 + 12 + 2 + 5 + 11 + 10) / 6 = 44 / 6 = 7.33 unit

P5 6 6 – 2 = 4 4 – 2 = 2
P6 21 21 – 6 = 15 15 – 3 = 12

 

Now,

  • Average Turn Around time = (27 + 23 + 30 + 29 + 4 + 15) / 6 = 128 / 6 = 21.33 unit
  • Average waiting time = (22 + 17 + 23 + 20 + 2 + 12) / 6 = 96 / 6 = 16 unit

 

Problem-04:

 

Four jobs to be executed on a single processor system arrive at time 0 in the order A, B, C, D. Their burst CPU time requirements are 4, 1, 8, 1 time units respectively. The completion time of A under round robin scheduling with time slice of one time unit is-

  1. 10
  2. 4
  3. 8
  4. 9

 

Solution-

 

Process Id Arrival time Burst time
A 0 4
B 0 1
C 0 8
D 0 1

 

Gantt chart-

 

Ready Queue-

C, A, C, A, C, A, D, C, B, A

 

 

Clearly, completion time of process A = 9 unit.

Thus, Option (D) is correct.
