207SE: Operating Systems, Security and Networks

Assignment
1. Consider the following set of processes, with the length of times given in milliseconds:
Process

Arrival Time

Burst Time

Priority

10

Assume that if a new process arrives at the same time that a process finishes using the
CPU, then the new process will be added to the ready queue first.
a) Draw a chart illustrating the execution of these processes using FCFS, SJF,
shortest-remaining-time-first SRTF, a non-preemptive priority (a smaller priority
number implies a higher priority), and RR (quantum = 2) scheduling.
b) What is the waiting time of each process for each of the scheduling algorithms in
part a?
c) What is the average waiting time for each of the scheduling algorithms in part a?
2. Consider the following set of processes, with the length of the CPU burst given in
milliseconds:

The processes are assumed to have arrived in the order P1, P2, P3, P4, P5 all at time 0.
a) Draw four Gantt charts that illustrate the execution of these processes using the
following scheduling algorithms: FCFS, SJF, nonpreemptive priority (a smaller
priority number implies a higher priority), and RR (quantum = 1).
b) What is the turnaround time of each process for each of the scheduling algorithms
in part a?
c) What is the waiting time of each process for each of the scheduling algorithms in
part a?

d) Which of the algorithms in part a results in the minimum average waiting

time (over all processes)?
3. Which of the following scheduling algorithms could result in starvation?
a) First-come, first-served b) Shortest job first
c) Round robin
d) Priority
