Juaidu Iya Abubakar Computer Ceter, Ahmadu Bello Uiversity, Zaria, Nigeria ABSTRACT The priority based CPU schedulig algorithm (i.e. Shortest Job First () or Schedulig (PS)) is a kid of schedulig algorithm that assigs the CPU to processes based o the priority of each process. The shortcomig of both of these algorithms is starvatio (i.e. starvatio of processes with loger burst times i the case of ad starvatio of processes with lower priorities i the case of PS). This paper proposes a ew algorithm that itroduces the cocept of EFFICIENCY FACTOR to all processes. This proposed algorithm was implemeted ad bechmarked agaist, PS ad the Optimum Service Time Cocept for Roud Robi Algorithm () by [9] usig to geerate the burst times, Expoetial distributio to geerate the priorities ad Poisso distributio to geerate the arrival times of processes. It is observed that i the category, the traditioal produced better Average Waitig Time (AWT), Average Turaroud Time (ATAT), Average Respose Time (ART) ad Waitig Time Variace Deviatio (WTVD) compared with the proposed. But they both produced the same Number of Cotext Switches (NCS). The proposed produced better results compared with with respect to AWT, ATAT, ART, NCS ad WTVD. While i the PS category, the proposed priority produced better AWT, ATAT, ART ad WTVD compared to the traditioal schedulig algorithm. But they both produced the same NCS. The proposed algorithm produced better results compared with with respect to NCS ad WTVD also produced almost the same result i terms of AWT ad ATAT i all categories of the statistical distributios used. Based o these results, the proposed priority algorithm should be preferred over the traditioal priority algorithm.

INTRODUCTION The Cetral Processig Uit (CPU) is a importat compoet of the computer system; hece it must be utilized efficietly. This ca be achieved through what is called CPU schedulig [7]. CPU Schedulig refers to a set of policies ad mechaisms to cotrol the order of work to be performed by a computer system. The CPU schedulig is oe of the most importat tasks of the operatig system []. The eed for a schedulig algorithm to achieve the efficiecy of the CPU arises from the requiremet for most moder systems to perform multitaskig (execute more tha oe process at a time) ad multiplexig (trasmit multiple flows simultaeously). CPU Schedulig is the act of selectig the ext process for the CPU to service, oce the curret process leaves the CPU idle. Some basic CPU schedulig algorithms are listed below: 1. First-Come First-Serve (FCFS) By far the simplest CPU-schedulig algorithm is the firstcome, first-served (FCFS) schedulig algorithm. The implemetatio of the FCFS policy is easily maaged with a FIFO queue. Whe a process eters the ready queue, its PCB is liked oto the tail of the queue. The average waitig time uder the FCFS policy, however, is ofte quite log [2]. 2. Shortest-Job-First () This is a priority based algorithm which associates with each process the legth of the process's ext CPU burst [4]. Whe the CPU is available, it is assiged to the process that has the smallest ext CPU burst. If the ext CPU bursts of two processes are the same, FCFS schedulig is used. The schedulig algorithm gives the miimum average waitig time for a give set of processes. The real difficulty with the algorithm is kowig the legth of the ext CPU request. The algorithm a optimal algorithm because it produces miimum average waitig time, average turaroud time ad umber of cotext switches. 3. Schedulig (PS) A priority umber is associated with each process. The CPU is allocated to the process with the highest priority. If there are multiple processes with same priority, the FCFS is used to allocate the CPU. A variatio of this scheme allows preemptio of the curret process wheever a higher priority process arrives. Aother variatio of the policy adds a agig scheme, where the priority of a process icreases as it remais i the ready queue. 4. Roud-Robi Schedulig (RR) This algorithm is especially desiged for time-sharig systems; each process gets a small uit of CPU time. This algorithm allows the first process i the queue to ru util it expires its time, ad the rus the ext process i the queue. I a situatio where a process eeds more time, the process rus for the full legth of the time quatum ad the it is preempted ad the added to the tail of the queue. 1.1 Performace Criteria The various CPU schedulig algorithms have differet properties, ad the choice of a particular algorithm may favor oe class of processes over aother. For selectio of a 24

2 Iteratioal Joural of Computer Applicatios ( ) Volume 132 No.11, December21 algorithm for a particular situatio, properties of various algorithms must be cosidered. The schedulig criteria iclude the followig [1]: 1. Cotext Switch: A cotext switch is process of storig ad restorig cotext (state) of a preempted process, so that executio ca be resumed from same poit at a later time. 2. Throughput: Throughput is defied as umber of processes completed per uit time. Cotext switchig ad throughput are iversely proportioal to each other. 3. CPU Utilizatio: This is a measure of how much busy the CPU is. Usually, the goal is to maximize the CPU utilizatio. 4. Turaroud Time: Turaroud time refers to the total time which is spet to complete the process.. Waitig Time: Waitig time is the total time a process has bee waitig i ready queue. 6. Respose Time: respose time is the time from the submissio of a request util the first respose is produced So, a good schedulig algorithm for real time ad time sharig systems must possess the followig characteristics: 1. Miimum cotext switches. 2. Maximum CPU utilizatio. 3. Maximum throughput. 4. Miimum turaroud time.. Miimum waitig time. 6. Miimum respose time. 1.2 Waitig Time Variace Variace is a statistical word, which is the measuremet of the spread betwee umbers i a data set. It measures how far each umber i the set is from the mea. σ 2 = (i μ)2 N (1) were σ 2 is te variace, N is te umber of processes, i te i t process ad μ is te mea of te processes A variace value of zero idicates that all values withi a set of umbers are idetical; all variaces that are o-zero are assiged positive umbers. A large variace idicates that umbers i the set are far from the mea ad each other, while a small variace idicates the opposite [3]. The waitig time variace is the measure of how far the waitig time of processes are from the mea of the processes waitig times. This implies that waitig time variace of processes should be miimized [6]. based CPU Schedulig Algorithms such as Shortest Job First Algorithm which assigs CPU to processes accordig to their burst times ad CPU Schedulig Algorithm which assigs CPU to processes accordig to their priorities suffer from the problem of starvatio. They are ot fair as they are biased to processes of high priorities [9]. Cosequetly the goal of this work is to miimize starvatio i the priority based CPU schedulig algorithms that is shortest job first ad priority schedulig algorithms thereby reducig the average waitig time, average turaroud time, average respose time, umber of cotext switches ad waitig time variace deviatio. 2. RELATED WORK Brich [1] proposed a algorithm amed Highest Respose Ratio Next (HRRN) CPU schedulig algorithm to address the shortcomigs of the Shortest Job First () ad Shortest Job Next (SJN) CPU Schedulig algorithms which are starvatio ad lack of fairess to loger burst time processes. It does this by usig equatio (2) to calculate the Respose Ratio of processes Respose Ratio = Waitig Time + Service Time Service Time (2) It allocates the CPU to the process with the Highest Respose Ratio ad it also takes care of the problem of determiig the ext burst time of processes i. Its disadvatage is that it is computatioally itesive ad its limitatio is that it does ot address user priority. Rakesh et al [8] proposed a ew variat of Roud Robi Schedulig algorithm by executig the processes accordig to a ew calculated fit factor f ad usig the cocept of dyamic time quatum. Geerally with every process three factors are associated. These factors are user priority, burst time ad arrival time. Above factors play a importat role to decide i which sequece the processes will be executed. Sortig accordig to the importace of these factors, user priority comes first, the the burst time ad at last the arrival time of the processes. If all the 3 factors are mixed up to calculate a ew factor i.e. Fit Factor f which will decide the order of executio the average waitig time, average turaroud time ad umber of cotext switches will be decreased. So to icrease the resposiveess of the system, RR algorithm should be used. Geerally i RR algorithm, processes are take from the ready queue i FCFS maer for executio. But i the proposed algorithm, f is calculated for each process. The process havig the lowest f value will be scheduled first. The two importat criteria that decide the early executio of processes are higher user priority ad shorter burst time. As user priority has higher importace tha other factors, so it is give a weight age of 6% ad burst time is give 4%, assumig that all the processes have same arrival time i.e. arrival time =. Let the User = UP, User Weight = UW, Shorter Burst time = SP, Burst time Weight = BW. The Fit Factor f ca be calculated as f = UP UW + SP BW (3) Dyamic time quatum is used i order to overcome the limitatios of static RR. To get the optimal time quatum, media of the remaiig burst time is take as the time quatum. Saxea ad Agarwal [9] desiged a algorithm kow as Desig ad Performace Evaluatio of Optimum Service Time Cocept for Roud Robi Algorithm (). Geerally, with every process, three factors are associated. These factors are user priority, burst time ad arrival time. These factors play a importat role to decide i which sequece the processes will be executed. Sice the algorithm is a priority based system, the cocept of Optimum was employed, which combies user defied priority, effect of shorter burst time ad effect of arrival time i a way so as to achieve better turaroud time ad average waitig time. A weight of. is assiged to user or system defied priority, a weight of.3 to burst time ad.2 to arrival time. This esures that user defied priority; burst time; ad arrival time get cosideratio while decidig order of executio of processes. A higher priority process gets a higher umber; a 2

3 Iteratioal Joural of Computer Applicatios ( ) Volume 132 No.11, December21 shorter process also gets a higher umber; ad a process that arrived earlier also gets a higher umber i the umberig scheme. A Optimum OP is give as: OP =. P +.3 BT +.2 AT (4) Where P is user or system defied priority; BT is priority umber assiged accordig to shorter burst time; ad AT is priority umber assiged accordig to early arrival of the process. A time quatum was selected while takig ito accout the same cosideratios that is take while selectig time quatum for RR algorithm. The Optimum service time OST for each process is give by equatio (): OST i = OP i q () Where OST i is the service time of process with Optimum OP i, q is the decided time quatum. All the processes are placed i a priority queue. After calculatig the service time of each process, CPU is assiged to the process with highest optimum service time. I case of coflict, the process with shorter burst time is give preferece. If coflict still persists the process that arrived earlier is give preferece. The process decided executes for a period that is equal to optimum service time of the process OST i or its burst time whichever is smallest. I case a process or the set of processes with same value of OP, which so ever is applicable, fiish executio after a sigle roud, the value of OST is redistributed removig the value of OST of fiished process ad redistributig the value of OST accordigly. 3. THE PROPOSED ALGORITHMS The proposed CPU schedulig algorithms use Efficiecy factor values to assig priority to processes which will be used for CPU allocatio. The Efficiecy factor value for the proposed uses equatio (6): E = BTW + WW (6) Where BTW is Burst time Weight ad WW is Waitig time Weight. The first process to arrive the arrival queue is scheduled first sice it is the oly process i the system the ad it is allocated the CPU to execute for the period of its burst time. By the time it has fiished executig, some processes will have arrived the arrival queue their efficiecy values is calculated by fidig the Burst Tme Weight (BTW) for all the processes that arrived withi this period so that the process with the least burst time is give a BTW of 1. All other processes are give BTW i ascedig order of their burst times. Also each process is give Waitig Time Weight (WW), accordig to their arrival times so that the first process to arrive is give a WW of 1. All other processes uder cosideratio are give WW of 2, 3 util all processes uder cosideratio are give WW. The the E- value of each process will be computed usig equatio (6) ad the process with the lowest E-value is scheduled first followed by the process with ext lower E-value util all processes that arrived the system have fiished executig. This process of determiatio of E-values ad schedulig of processes is performed util there is o process remaiig i the arrival ad ready queues. The Efficiecy factor value for the proposed schedulig algorithm uses equatio (7): E = PW + BTW + WW (7) where, PW is Weight, BTW is Burst time Weight ad WW is Waitig time Weight. Similarly, for the priority (PS) category, the same method as i the case of is employed but with the iclusio the Weight (PW), which is calculated based o the priority values of the processes i which the process with the highest priority is give a priority weight of 1 ad all other processes are give PW of 2, 3 util all processes uder cosideratio are give PW. The the E-value of each process will be computed usig equatio (7) ad the process with the lowest E-value is scheduled first followed by the process with ext lower E-value util all processes that arrived the system have fiished executig. This process of determiatio of E-values ad schedulig of processes is performed util there is o process remaiig i the arrival ad ready queues. 3.1 The pseudo code of the Proposed Based CPU Schedulig Algorithms This pseudo code illustrates how the priority based CPU schedulig algorithms work i.e. the priority ad shortest job first CPU schedulig algorithms.

The simulatio is doe i two differet categories; i the first category (i.e. the Shortest Job First ()) cosistig of:, the ew ad Optimum Service Time Roud Robi CPU Schedulig algorithms ad i the secod category (i.e. the Schedulig (PS)) cosistig of: PS, the ew PS ad Optimum Service Time Roud Robi CPU Schedulig algorithms to observe these criteria. The simulatio eviromet where all the experimets were performed was a sigle processor eviromet ad all the processes are idepedet ad CPU boud, o process was I/O boud ad the system was also assumed to have o cotext switch cost. A process geerator routie to geerate the process sets was built. Each process i the process set is a tuple: <(process_id, arrival_time, CPU_time, priority)>. The process arrival was modeled as a Poisso radom process. Hece, the iter-arrival times are Poisso distributed. A process arrival geerator was developed to take care of the radom arrival of differet processes to the system. The geerator produces the iter-arrival times utilizig some specific mea (arrival itesity) of the distributio fuctio. Burst time (i.e. the CPU_time) was geerated usig uiform distributio. Process priority (i.e. priority) was geerated usig expoetial distributio. A process burst time geerator was developed to take care of the radom burst time of differet processes i the system ad also a process priority geerator was developed to take care of the radom priority of differet processes i the system. 4.1 Results obtaied usig uiform distributio to geerate burst time The followig shows the relatioships betwee the CPU schedulig algorithms uder study usig processes geerated by uiform distributio with burst times ragig betwee 1 ad 1ms ad time quatum of 1ms used by First category Figure 6: Graph of Average Waitig Time usig Figure 6 shows the overall graphical result of the Average Waitig Time for all cases of values take.
