CPU Scheduling Quiz

What is the main purpose of CPU scheduling?

• To reduce power consumption

• To increase disk speed

• To minimize memory usage

• To maximize CPU utilization

Which of the following is a preemptive scheduling algorithm?

• Round Robin

• Priority Non-Preemptive

• First Come, First Serve (FCFS)

• Shortest Job First (SJF)

What does 'Turn Around Time' refer to in CPU scheduling?

• Time taken to execute a process

• Time spent waiting in the ready queue

• Time taken for context switching

• Time from arrival to completion

Which scheduling algorithm can cause starvation?

• Priority Non-Preemptive

• Round Robin

• Shortest Job First (SJF)

• First Come, First Serve (FCFS)

What is the role of the dispatcher in CPU scheduling?

• To manage I/O operations

• To allocate memory to processes

• To monitor process execution time

• To switch the CPU from one process to another

Which of the following is NOT a criterion for CPU scheduling?

• CPU Utilization

• Throughput

• Response Time

• Disk Speed

What is the average waiting time (AWT) in CPU scheduling?

• Total time a process spends in the ready queue

• Total time from arrival to completion

• Total time spent in I/O operations

• Total time taken for a process to complete

Which algorithm is known for having the minimum average waiting time?

• First Come, First Serve (FCFS)

• Priority Scheduling

• Shortest Job First (SJF)

• Round Robin

What is 'Aging' in the context of CPU scheduling?

• Increasing the priority of waiting processes

• Decreasing the burst time of processes

• Allocating more CPU time to high-priority tasks

• Reducing the number of processes in the queue

Which of the following is a characteristic of Round Robin scheduling?

• It is a non-preemptive algorithm

• It minimizes turnaround time

• Each process gets a fixed time quantum

• Processes are executed based on priority
