How do I evaluate scheduling algorithms?

What are the key factors to consider when evaluating scheduling algorithms?

Key factors include efficiency, fairness, response time, throughput, and resource utilization.

Can you explain how to measure efficiency in scheduling algorithms?

Efficiency can be measured by analyzing the algorithm's time complexity and how well it utilizes CPU resources.

What is the difference between preemptive and non-preemptive scheduling?

Preemptive scheduling allows a process to be interrupted, while non-preemptive scheduling runs a process to completion before switching.

How do I test a scheduling algorithm's performance?

You can test performance by simulating workloads and measuring metrics like average wait time and turnaround time.
