A collection of runnable operating-system processes or software threads waiting for a CPU. A running task is not waiting in the ready queue, and a task waiting for input-output is not runnable. FCFS and round-robin scheduling can use a FIFO queue; other policies can organize eligible work differently, for example with a priority queue.
