3.8) Scheduler: Scheduler in an operating system selects the next process to be admitted into the system and next process to run. The three schedulers and their differences are as follows:-
Long Term Scheduler: Long term scheduler also known as job scheduler, selects the process or jobs which are to be allowed to the ready queue in the main memory for execution. It decides what processes are to be run on the system. Long term scheduling has much less frequency of execution. The long term scheduler is responsible for controlling the degree of multiprogramming. Because of longer periods between the executions, long term scheduler has an ability to take time in selecting the process for execution. It is important to select an appropriate process. Generally processes can be described as I/O bound or CPU bound. I/O bound spends more time in doing I/O operations rather than other computations. CPU bound is contrast to I/O bound, which spends time doing all other

It has a thread ID, a program counter, a register set, and a stack. Thread is smaller than a process so thread creation needs only some resources when with a process creation. In creating a process, it requires to allocate the process control block (PCB).The PCB includes a memory map and list of open files. A process creation makes memory being allocated for program instructions and data.
4.11) Concurrency: A condition that exists when at least two threads are in progress. Parallelism: A condition that exists when two threads are executing in parallel. Yes it is possible to have concurrency but not parallelism. This can be explained as: If there are 4 threads and they are executed on a single computing or multiple computing system, the threads will be in progress even though they do not execute in parallel way. This condition satisfies concurrency but no parallelism. But it is not possible to have parallelism without
Medium-term scheduler: It selects processes from the ready or blocked queue and removes them from memory. Then it reinstates them later to continue running.
All members should record downtime for delays that are not included in the standard such as equipment battery changes, supervisor meeting, equipment problems, excessive congestion delay, and any other time spent performing non-standard work. All workers should have access to downtime sheets and should be notified if all the recorded delay time is not granted. It is necessary that the workers receive the appropriate indirect time in order to maintain the integrity of the standards. It is important that both management and workers know how much time is allocated by the standards for a delay in order to identify when conditions may no longer represent that as engineered.
assign process identification, allocate address space, initialize process control block, set appropriate linkage, create or expand data structure
Processing unit: It consists of a processor (microcontroller) and storage (RAM). In addition, it has operating systems as well as a timer. The responsibility of the processing unit includes collecting data from various sources then processing and storing. A timer is used to do the sequencing for the processes. This is basically where the
Within a program exists millions of instructions, which are each stored at a specific address. These instruction addresses are recorded by the program counter. The program counter is a system within the CPU that takes note of the position of the CPU when a program is running, which are the instruction addresses. Addresses are transferred through the address bus to be used from the memory while instructions go through the data bus to reach the instruction register.
Process view- this describes a system’s processes, it shows any communication between those processes, explores what needs to happen inside the system. Particularly helpful when your system will have a number of simultaneous threads or processes. And uml activity diagrams represent the process view.
The scheduling of Linux operating system is priority based scheduling. It is to make scheduling policies into the core of Linux which called Kernel for multi-tasking processes. There are two different scheduling: real time and normal, for handling large data processes performance balance and sharing CPU equally in the system. In the scheduling of Kernel, each process has a priority value which ranges from 1 to 139. 1 is the highest priority level. 139 is the lowest priority level. The real time priorities range from 1 to 99 and the normal priorities range from 100 to 139. The smaller number of priority value, the priority is higher. All real time programs have a higher priority than normal programs in the system. In Linux scheduling is implemented by a class named sched_class (Seeker, 2013).
Although many people are computer nerds; many people do not know what a CPU is; or what it does. A computer has many parts that make up the hardware, and the software; enabling it to function correctly. One of the main components that a computer needs to work is a Central Processing Unit also known as the microprocessor. The central processing unit includes all the computers main parts, and is the basic part of the computer. The CPU is responsible for executing out tasks, and running the software. The software runs on programs that are translated into number codes made up of 1s and 0s that the central processing unit can understand. Each code that is executed means a certain operation should take place. A CPU serves for four functions; Fetch, Decode, Execute, and write back these functions are the four primary ones. Other functions that follow are the Arithmetic and logic unit, as well as the Memory access.
Multithreading is the ability of operating system to run divide and run different parts of a process on a single CPU to obtain the same but fast result. Different parts of the code which run simultaneously are called
To improve the quality of services and maintaining the efficiency and fairness among the jobs the scheduler
Procedure is set of coded instruction that tells a computer how to run a program and calculation and performs a specific task.
1)An _____ operating system (OS _____ is a program that controls the execution of application programs and acts as an interface between applications and the computer hardware.
Microprocessor - This is the heart of your computer. It performs instructions and controls the operation of the computer.
Program Execution: The major purpose of the operating system is to allow the user to execute programs easily. The operating system provides an environment where users can conveniently run or execute programs and as well as able to end programs. Running programs involves memory management (the allocation and de-allocation memory), device management, processor
Therefore, the execution rate of all tasks is the same among all processors. Hence, the scheduling
