Process Scheduling Role

Maximize CPU utilization, throughput, fairness, response time for multiprogramming.

Three Criteria

  1. CPU Utilization (% busy)
  2. Throughput (jobs/sec)
  3. Turnaround / Waiting / Response Time (minimize)
  4. Fairness (no starvation)
    Explain tradeoffs: batch favors throughput, interactive favors response.
