Summary of Multilevel Queue Scheduling and Multilevel Feedback Queue Scheduling | Operating System

Summary of Main Ideas and Concepts

The video discusses two scheduling algorithms in operating systems: Multilevel Queue Scheduling and Multilevel Feedback Queue Scheduling. The speaker explains the concepts, methodologies, and the implications of these scheduling strategies in managing processes effectively.

Multilevel Queue Scheduling

Definition: Involves dividing the ready queue into multiple queues based on different process characteristics.
Queue Types:
- Queue 1: System processes (high priority).
- Queue 2: Interactive processes (medium priority).
- Queue 3: Background processes (lower priority).
- Queue 4: Student processes (lowest priority).
Process Management:
- Each queue has its own scheduling algorithm.
- Processes are assigned to queues based on their type and priority.
- The scheduling is done such that higher priority queues are executed before lower priority ones.
Starvation Problem: Lower priority processes may face starvation as they are executed last.

Multilevel Feedback Queue Scheduling

Definition: A refinement of Multilevel Queue Scheduling that allows processes to move between queues based on their execution characteristics.
Key Features:
- Processes can change their priority dynamically based on their behavior and requirements.
- Feedback is provided to processes to adjust their priority and queue placement, preventing starvation.
Process Execution:
- High-priority processes can be promoted to higher priority queues.
- Low-priority processes can be demoted if they do not complete in a certain timeframe.
Time Quantum: Each queue may have different time quanta, influencing how long a process can execute before being preempted.

Methodology/Instructions

For Multilevel Queue Scheduling:
- Identify and categorize processes into appropriate queues based on their characteristics.
- Assign scheduling algorithms to each queue.
- Execute processes in order of their queue priority.
For Multilevel Feedback Queue Scheduling:
- Monitor process execution and adjust their queue placement based on performance.
- Implement feedback mechanisms to allow processes to move between queues.
- Set different time quanta for each queue to optimize execution.
