The need for scheduling and the function and benefits of different scheduling routines (including round robin, shortest job first, first come first served, shortest remaining time)

Evaluate responses using AI:

OFF

Answer explanation

Scheduling is essential for efficient CPU utilization. Round Robin ensures fairness, Shortest Job First minimizes wait time, First Come First Served is simple, and Shortest Remaining Time optimizes response time for shorter tasks.

How the kernel of the OS acts as an interrupt handler and how interrupt handling is used to manage low-level scheduling

Evaluate responses using AI:

OFF

Answer explanation

The OS kernel acts as an interrupt handler by pausing current processes to address urgent tasks. This mechanism allows efficient low-level scheduling, ensuring timely responses to hardware events and optimizing CPU usage.
