In a First Come, First Serve (FCFS) scheduling system, processes are completed in the order they appear in the queue. This means that the computer will handle the first process that arrives. FCFS does not interrupt processes once they begin, making it a continuous scheduling method. However, FCFS has a drawback known as the "convoy effect," in which shorter tasks may be delayed by longer ones going first. While FCFS is simple, it may not always be the most efficient, particularly when dealing with processes of varying length.
2. Shortest Job First
In a Shortest Job First (SJF) scheduling system for operating systems, the process with the shortest execution time is prioritized and executed first. This scheduling algorithm aims to reduce total processing time and wait times for shorter tasks. SJF can be preemptive or non- preemptive; in the preemptive case, if a shorter job arrives while another is being processed, the current job may be interrupted. The primary benefit of SJF is its efficiency in reducing overall completion time; however, predicting the exact execution time of a process can be difficult, resulting in potential scheduling inaccuracies. 3. First in, First out A First In First Out (FIFO) scheduling system for operating systems executes processes in the order they arrive, similar to waiting in a queue. The first process that enters the system is the first that the CPU processes. FIFO is a non-preemptive scheduling algorithm, which means that once started, a process will run uninterrupted until it is completed. While FIFO is simple and easy to understand, it may not always be the most efficient, particularly if shorter tasks must wait for longer ones to complete, potentially leading to delays and increased waiting times. 4. Last in, First out In a Last In First Out (LIFO) scheduling system for operating systems, the process that arrives last is executed first. It takes a stack-based approach, with the most recently added process receiving priority. LIFO is a non-preemptive scheduling algorithm, which means that once started, a process will run until completed without interruption. However, LIFO scheduling can lead to potential inefficiencies because the last-arriving process is prioritized regardless of execution time, resulting in longer wait times for shorter tasks. LIFO is less widely used in practical operating systems than other scheduling algorithms.
