The Multilevel Queue Scheduling Algorithm
Multilevel Queue Scheduling is a method used by operating systems to manage different types of tasks efficiently. It divides processes into separate queues based on their priority or nature—like real-time tasks, user applications, or background jobs. Each queue has its own scheduling rules, and processes are executed according to their queue's policy. Processes do not move between queues, ensuring specialized handling. The system switches between queues to allocate CPU time, allowing efficient and organized management of diverse tasks, leading to better response times and system stability.
