Fair Scheduling

Fair scheduling is a method used by computer systems to evenly distribute resources, like processor time, among multiple tasks or users. Its goal is to ensure that no single task monopolizes the system, allowing each to progress fairly. Think of it like taking turns in a game—each player gets a fair chance to play. This approach improves efficiency and responsiveness, especially when many tasks run simultaneously. By allocating resources equitably, fair scheduling helps optimize system performance and user experience.
