About this document

FCFS Scheduling Overview and Metrics by Adnan Rai is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The document discusses different CPU scheduling algorithms including first-come first-served (FCFS) and round robin (RR). FCFS runs programs until they finish without preemption, which can lead to long wait times for shorter jobs. RR uses a fixed time quantum to periodically switch between ready programs, making the scheduling more fair but introducing context switch overhead. The size of the time quantum is a tradeoff between fairness and throughput.
