CPU Scheduling Algorithms

CPU scheduling algorithms determine the order in which tasks (processes) are given access to the computer’s processor, ensuring efficient and fair execution. They prioritize tasks based on different rules, such as first-come-first-served, shortest task first, or based on priority levels. These algorithms aim to optimize factors like response time, throughput, and CPU utilization, balancing multiple tasks' needs. In essence, they help manage multiple jobs so the CPU works efficiently, minimizing delays and ensuring all tasks get processed in a timely manner.
