What are the different types of process schedulers?

There are three main types of process schedulers: long-term, short-term, and medium-term schedulers.

Can you explain what each type does?

Sure! Long-term schedulers decide which processes are admitted to the system, short-term schedulers select which process to execute next, and medium-term schedulers manage the swapping of processes in and out of memory.

What is the role of the short-term scheduler?

The short-term scheduler, also known as the CPU scheduler, is responsible for selecting from among the processes that are ready to execute and allocating CPU time to them.

How does the long-term scheduler differ from the short-term scheduler?

The long-term scheduler controls the degree of multiprogramming by determining which processes are admitted to the system, while the short-term scheduler focuses on which of the ready processes gets CPU time.
