Processor scheduling algorithms

Processor scheduling algorithms are techniques used by operating systems to manage the execution of processes or threads on a CPU. Their primary goal is to efficiently utilize CPU resources, maximize throughput, minimize response and turnaround times, and ensure fairness among processes. Here's an overview of some key types of scheduling algorithms: ### 1. **Non-Preemptive Scheduling** In non-preemptive scheduling, a running process cannot be interrupted and must run to completion before another process can take over the CPU.
