Question 1

What is CPU scheduling?

Accepted Answer

CPU scheduling is the process by which the operating system determines which process runs at a given time. It's a fundamental concept in operating systems that ensures efficient CPU utilization and fair resource allocation.

Question 2

Which CPU scheduling algorithms are supported?

Accepted Answer

Our visualizer supports FCFS (First Come First Served), SJF (Shortest Job First) both preemptive and non-preemptive, Round Robin with custom time quantum, and Priority Scheduling in both preemptive and non-preemptive modes.

Question 3

How do I calculate waiting time and turnaround time?

Accepted Answer

The CPU Scheduling Visualizer automatically calculates waiting time and turnaround time for each process. Waiting time is the total time a process waits in the ready queue, and turnaround time is the time from submission to completion. Simply input your processes and click submit to see the results.
