Exam 8: Understanding Processor Scheduling and Memory Management in Operating Systems

A disadvantage of preemptive scheduling is ________.

The ________ algorithm bases priority on the amount of time until a process's deadline and the remaining execution time until its task has completed.

________ is not generally considered one of the most important objectives in scheduler design.

A(n) ________ process tends to use all the processor time that the system allocates for it.

If there are multiple threads at the highest priority level in the Java virtual machine, those threads execute using a(n) ________ scheduling algorithm.

Multilevel feedback queuing ________.

Under SPF scheduling, important processes will be executed ________.

At a minimum, an operating system typically implements __________.

The ________ dispatches a processor to the process chosen to execute next.

________ contributes to a larger overhead in SRT than SPF.

A scheduling discipline is said to be ________if all similar processes are treated the same, and no process can suffer indefinite postponement due to scheduling issues.

Under ________ scheduling, processes can be interrupted whether they have completed their current task or not.

HRRN is a(n) ________ scheduling discipline in which each process's priority is a function of its ________.

________ scheduling algorithms guarantee that a process's timing constraints are always met.
