What is online and offline scheduling?
An offline scheduler computes its entire schedule before the system starts running and uses it at runtime. So, it needs a complete knowledge of all job parameters (releases, execution times, deadlines). On the contrary, an online scheduler makes its scheduling decisions at runtime.
What are the features that discriminate offline and online scheduling?
An online scheduler doesn’t know when tasks will finish, nor does it know when new tasks will arrive. An offline scheduler knows *everything*, like using a non-causal FFT to perform filtering.
Is also called offline scheduler?
The Clock-driven scheduling also called as static or offline scheduling. In this type of scheduling, decisions are taken previously at chosen time instance. The Clock-driven schedulers are also called off-line schedulers because these schedulers fix the schedule before the system starts to run.
What is meant scheduling?
Scheduling is the process of arranging, controlling and optimizing work and workloads in a production process or manufacturing process. Scheduling is used to allocate plant and machinery resources, plan human resources, plan production processes and purchase materials.
What is priority scheduling with example?
Example of Priority Scheduling
| Process | Priority | Arrival time |
|---|---|---|
| P1 | 1 | 0 |
| P2 | 2 | 0 |
| P3 | 1 | 6 |
| P4 | 3 | 11 |
What is real-time scheduling in operating system?
A real-time scheduling System is composed of the scheduler, clock and the processing hardware elements. In a real-time system, a process or task has schedulability; tasks are accepted by a real-time system and completed as specified by the task deadline depending on the characteristic of the scheduling algorithm.
What is static scheduling?
A static scheduling algorithm is presented for off-line scheduling of tasks in distributed hard real-time systems. The algorithm orders the tasks and iteratively schedules the tasks according to the order. Each task is scheduled globally by selecting a node to which it is assigned.
What is scheduling and its types?
Six types of process scheduling algorithms are: First Come First Serve (FCFS), 2) Shortest-Job-First (SJF) Scheduling, 3) Shortest Remaining Time, 4) Priority Scheduling, 5) Round Robin Scheduling, 6) Multilevel Queue Scheduling. The CPU uses scheduling to improve its efficiency.
What are the scheduling tools?
Scheduling tools and techniques
- GANTT Chart. This is a horizontal bar chart plotted over time (e.g. days, weeks or months).
- Schedule Network Analysis.
- Critical Path Method.
- PERT (Program Evaluation and Review Technique)
- Schedule Compression.
- Risk multipliers.
- Resource tools and techniques.
- Additional resources.
Where is priority scheduling used?
It used in Operating systems for performing batch processes. If two jobs having the same priority are READY, it works on a FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED basis. In priority scheduling, a number is assigned to each process that indicates its priority level.
How is priority scheduling calculated?
Priority scheduling is a non-preemptive algorithm and one of the most common scheduling algorithms in batch systems. Each process is assigned first arrival time (less arrival time process first) if two processes have same arrival time, then compare to priorities (highest process first).
