 Round-robin scheduling

Serve the front of a FIFO queue of runnable tasks for at most one scheduling quantum. If the task finishes or must wait for input-output, it leaves the CPU earlier; if it remains runnable after consuming its allowance, append it to the rear of the ready queue. In the example under process scheduling, the ready queue at time 2 is B, C, A: B arrived at time 1, C joins at the boundary, then A is requeued. That one convention determines the subsequent order.
